Solar companies around the world are researching the internet for all the misconceptions spread about solar energy. Many myths are making the solar look bad against electricity usages. Some of the myths busted clarify how the solar is beneficial in every aspect, and there is no need to exaggerate or suppress the good.
Myth #1
Solar panels are free
Well, this isn’t just a myth but a truly false one. There is nothing such as free solar. Some of the internet ads are surfacing with information that the government is giving free solar panels. Thus, it is advisable to keep off from such ads. The businesses are misleading people into filling out their personal information. The data is later sold to various other sources that reach out to you to sell their products in the name of ‘government’.
Myth #2
Solar panels are harmful and toxic.
The internet is surfacing with the misinformation about solar panels being harmful and toxic. However, the reality is that solar companies have never witnessed any evidence suggesting that solar is toxic. Two types of solar energy panels are available made with photovoltaic (PV) technology. Most of the panels are made with silicon cells which are safe, stable, non-toxic material. Also, we use silicon in our everyday lives, from computers to phones and bricks.
Myth #3
Buy only High-Efficiency Panels.
People usually confuse themselves between high-efficiency and high-quality panels. Well, when you are buying panels from solar companies, efficiency is just one of the facets. Work performance, warranties, panel degradation and other such factors are equally critical to look. Moreover, the way solar companies design and install these solar systems can also impact the efficiency of energy generated.
Myth #4
Not enough sunlight
It isn’t entirely true that, for the production of solar energy, you need abundant sunshine. Many factors get along for electricity production besides enough sunlight. Thus, when you are getting into producing electricity, the expert solar companies would provide an accurate estimate of the amount of energy produced considering sunshine and other factors in your area.
