Myth: Solar Only Works in Sunny States
Solar works in all states, including cloudy ones. Germany, with less sun than most US states, is a world leader in solar. Modern panels produce energy even on cloudy days.
Myth: Solar is Too Expensive
Solar costs have dropped 70%+ in the past decade. With the 30% tax credit and financing options, many systems pay for themselves in 5-10 years.
Myth: Panels Don't Work in Winter
Panels actually work better in cold weather (more efficient). While shorter days reduce total production, panels still generate significant energy in winter.
Myth: Solar Requires Constant Maintenance
Solar panels require minimal maintenance. Occasional cleaning (2-4 times per year) is typically sufficient. Most systems have 25+ year warranties.
