Frequently Asked Questions
At Blackwell Energy we understand making the switch to a solar powered system might throw up some question. We have compiled a list of the most commonly asked or click below to read through even more
How does a home solar system work
The solar panels convert the light into DC electricity, and the inverter converts this DC electricity into AC electricity for use in your home. The solar system will be connected to your main electricity panel
Can I add more panels to my system?
Yes, it is possible to expand most solar energy systems, but it isn’t always cost-effective for various reasons. In some cases, adding solar panels might be more complicated and expensive than it may seem, but it is typically feasible
Will my panels work in winter?
The short answer to the question above is yes, solar panels are absolutely effective in the winter. In fact, some solar panels may be more effective at generating energy in colder temperatures.
Can I charge my car from solar panels?
Solar panels are a great way to generate renewable energy, and when used in conjunction with an EV charging station, they can provide all the power you need to charge your electric vehicle.
What is installed as part of a home solar system
Solar systems are made up of solar panels (modules), a mounting system, and a solar inverter with computerised controller. Solar panels produce DC electricity from sunlight. Then the inverter converts the generated electricity into AC, so that it can be used in the household
How many solar panels do I need for my home?
Generally speaking, an average family living in a three-bedroom property will require a 10-panel array to meet their electricity needs. 10 panels equal a system size of 4 kWp using today’s average panel size of 400 watts per panel.
Why should I invest in solar energy?
Investing in solar energy can reduce your electricity bills, increase your property value, and decrease your carbon footprint. Additionally, there are various incentives and tax credits available that can lower the upfront cost of installation.
How do solar panels work in Ireland on cloudy or rainy days?
Solar panels still produce electricity on cloudy or rainy days, though their efficiency is reduced. Modern solar panels are designed to capture a broad spectrum of light, so they can generate power even under less-than-ideal conditions
