The size of the solar system you need depends on your household or business's energy consumption, roof space, and budget. A standard household may need a system between 5kW and 10kW, but this varies based on location and electricity usage. A solar installer can conduct an energy assessment to determine the best system size for your needs. Larger systems generate more electricity, which is beneficial if you have high energy demands or want to reduce reliance on the grid.

Solar panels can still produce electricity on cloudy days, though at a reduced capacity. Cloud cover limits the amount of sunlight reaching the panels, typically resulting in lower energy output. However, modern solar panels are efficient enough to work in various weather conditions, albeit with decreased performance. Energy production will likely be highest during sunny days, but a solar power system can still offset electricity costs even in areas with moderate cloud cover.

Solar panels require minimal maintenance, as they have no moving parts. Occasional cleaning to remove dust, dirt, and debris can help maintain their efficiency, especially if you live in a dusty or pollen-heavy area. Inspect panels periodically for damage, particularly after severe weather. Most systems have monitoring software to track performance. Regular maintenance checks by a professional every few years ensure that inverters, wiring, and other components are in good working order, maximising the system's lifespan.
