Solar Solutions to Rising Power Prices

Did you know that most of Hawaii’s energy used to come from burning fossil fuels, and those costs kept climbing? Photovoltaic systems and solar panels are like two peas in a pod, working together to turn sunlight into clean, green energy for your home.

Luckily, Photovoltaic (PV) Systems don’t rely on pricey fuels – they soak up the sun’s natural light, which is totally free and endless. This means you can cut down on your energy expenses and watch your electricity bill shrink. Research shows that your typical residential PV System can trim energy costs by around 50%.

The experts ad Solar Specialty Group are on hand to help you maximize your savings. Many of our friends and clients have even waved goodbye to energy bills altogether, thanks to their PV Systems. It all starts with a solar panel inspection! Give us a call: 1.808.854.9539.

Panel Care Can Be Like Clockwork

We get it. Solar panel cleaning can often feel like a hassle.

Here in Hawaii, solar panel inspection is essential for ensuring optimal energy production and long-term savings. Our expert inspectors uncover various issues such as dust and dirt accumulation (see image above), bird droppings, shading from nearby trees or structures, and potential microcracks in the panels.

Regular inspections not only boost efficiency but also extend the lifespan of your solar investment, helping you harness the abundant Hawaiian sunshine to its full potential. Contact us for top-notch solar panel inspection services in Hawaii today!

A GOOD WAY TO REMEMBER:
Since we don’t have to change our clocks because there’s Daylight Savings Time in Hawaii, think about having your panels cleaned every time you hear that the mainlanders have to “Spring Forward” or “Fall Back”.

How Many Panels?

How many solar panels to power the United States? It's a question that might leave you pondering the vastness of our energy needs.

To sustain the entire country, we'd require around 7.85 billion solar panels, each emitting approximately 350W per hour, and with at least four hours of sunlight daily. While this staggering number underscores the potential of solar energy, it also highlights the importance of ensuring that the solar panels we already have are functioning optimally.

Regular solar panel inspections play a crucial role in maximizing the efficiency and lifespan of these panels. By identifying and addressing issues like dirt buildup, shading, or any potential damage, inspections help ensure that each panel is performing at its best. Plus, well-maintained solar panels not only contribute to a greener future but also save homeowners money on energy bills. So, whether you have a small residential solar setup or are part of a larger-scale solar project, don't underestimate the power of a thorough solar panel inspection!
