Solar Energy myths: Debunked

Myth 1: Solar panels don’t work on cloudy days.

It’s commonly thought that a blazing light is needed for panels to work, however, this is not the case. Even diffused light is enough to generate electrical energy. Rather blazing sunlight means they work at maximum capacity. So they work even on cloudy days, just at reduced efficiency. The bottom line, your solar system will work, come shine, or rain.

Myth 2: Solar energy is too expensive.

We understand that the price of the initial investment is daunting. However, costs have dropped over the past decade due to advancements in modern technology, which allows for increased efficiency at reduced cost. Many clients find that the costs are offset by the savings in a few years. Just think of it as a financial strategy, a dividend that pays over a long period.

Myth 3: “Solar panels require constant, high-maintenance care.”

Another frequent concern is that solar systems will demand endless maintenance. The truth is, solar panels are designed to be low-maintenance. With few moving parts and robust construction, they typically require just a simple cleaning and periodic check-up to remain in peak condition. At ICE, our comprehensive after-sales support ensures that if any issues arise, our team is on hand to handle everything—so you can focus on enjoying reliable, hassle-free energy.

Myth 4: “Solar energy isn’t reliable enough to depend on.”

Some people worry that relying on solar energy means living at the mercy of unpredictable weather patterns. But here’s where modern solutions shine: with the integration of battery storage and hybrid systems, solar energy becomes a reliable, round-the-clock power source. Even during outages or periods of low sunlight, these systems can provide backup power, ensuring that your daily operations or household activities aren’t interrupted. Reliability isn’t just a promise—it’s built into every system we design.
