Frequently Asked Questions
What does Southern View Energy offer?
SVE designs and installs all types of residential and commercial solar electric power systems. Installations can include battery storage or be designed for off-grid living. Additionally, we sell and install home EV charging stations and back-up power generators. SVE is proud to be a Tesla Energy Certified Installer!
Will a solar electrical power system give me power during a grid power outage?
Only solar electrical systems designed with battery backup can provide power during a grid power outage. Systems without battery storage turn off automatically during a grid power outage to prevent possible injury to workers repairing the power lines. When grid power is restored, the system turns back on automatically.
How long will a solar electric power system last?
Solar modules usually include a 20 to 30 year power output warranty depending on the manufacturer. Consequently, a well-designed system can provide at least 25 years of steady operation.
Are batteries required?
No. A grid-tied solar power system does not require batteries. The excess power produced during the day is deposited back into the grid with credit for the energy available to the owner at a later time. This is referred to as “net metering”. However, not all utility providers offer net metering. Please check with your power company to learn more about your individual options. Although batteries add an additional cost, they are necessary to provide electricity to an
off-grid home at night.
