Solar power at home

Residential solar panel systems convert sunlight into electricity that powers your home and helps reduce electricity bills. Solar panels installed on your roof or property generate electricity during daylight hours, and an inverter converts this energy into the type of power your home uses. Your home consumes solar energy first, lowering the amount of electricity you need to purchase from the grid.

If the system produces more electricity than your home needs, the excess energy can either be sent back to the grid for credits through provincial programs or stored in a home battery for use at night or during outages. When solar production is low or after sunset, your home automatically draws electricity from the grid, ensuring a seamless and reliable power supply.

While residential solar panels generally last 25 to 40 years, the actual lifespan of your system will depend on a number of factors, such as its exposure to the elements, temperature, maintenance and more.

At Zeno, our solar panels have a power production warranty for 25 years and can last up to 40 years.

Other factors such as quality of materials and installation also play a role — but at Zeno, we’re confident that our experts can design, procure, and install residential solar panel systems that use only the best in solar technology today.

There are a few things you can do to make your solar panel system last longer, such as:

• Installing rodent guards for your system
• Monitoring your system’s performance

Solar panels can vary in size and weight, depending on the brand and panel availability. Typically, residential solar panels span 66 x 40 inches for the panel, and 1.25 x 1.6 for the frame, weighing roughly 42 pounds.
