What is the expected lifetime of a solar panel?

Which module type is better for my application, monofacial or bifacial?

Bifacial modules offer higher power generation under optimal conditions, utilizing rear-side light. Monofacial modules are ideal for mountainous regions and distributed generation rooftops.

How does LONGi ensure module supply?

With an industry-leading production capacity of over 65 GW, LONGi ensures a reliable module supply through its integrated network and efficient global distribution.

What are LONGi’s module products and their applications?

LONGi's solar module series, Hi-MO 4 and Hi-MO 5, offer bifacial and monofacial options. Hi-MO 4 and Hi-MO 5m are for roofs, while Hi-MO 5 suits large ground-mount power plants.

How does snow affect my panels?

To date, many studies have been done from industry and academics in regard to the impact that snow has on solar production. The consensus is that solar production, on average, only has around a 2% impact from snow falls in the southern most populated regions of Canada. Usually, snow cover will melt and slide off once the sun hits the panels.

An offsetting benefit of winter is that the solar panels/modules are actually more efficient in colder weather.

Do I still get power during an outage?

During a power outage, if a storage/battery system is not in place, then will not receive any power. This is due to the fact that everyone is tied to the grid which is where the energy you produce is held and stored. Your system is shut down automatically so that line workers can safely repair do repairs. When utility power is restored, your solar system will automatically restart.

What are the environmental benefits of solar energy?

Solar power, like other renewable energy resources, has many environmental and health benefits. Going solar reduces greenhouse gas emissions, which contribute to climate change, and also results in fewer air pollutants.

What is net metering?

Net metering is the system that utilities use to credit solar energy system owners for the electricity produced by their solar panels. With net metering, you only pay for the electricity that you use beyond what your solar panels can generate. Net metering policies differ by jurisdiction (province and state).
