Can rooftop solar panels generate power during cloudy days or at night?

Solar panels are most efficient in direct sunlight but can still produce electricity on cloudy days, albeit at reduced efficiency. However, solar panels cannot generate power at night. Many systems are integrated with the grid to maintain a continuous power supply, or companies can implement energy storage solutions.

Will my roof be strong enough to support the solar panels?

Before installing a solar system, we will visit your site at no cost to conduct a thorough roof assessment to ensure its structural integrity. Most modern roofs are built to support the additional weight of solar panels.
