Low voltage electricity refers to electrical energy that ranges from 32 volts AC or 115 volts DC up to 1000 volts AC or 1500 volts DC.

Low voltage systems are typically employed in smaller applications, including intercoms, security systems, and alarm systems.

Solar panels transform sunlight into direct current (DC) electricity, while most household devices operate on alternating current (AC). An inverter is used to convert DC into AC.

In recent years, the cost of solar panels has decreased substantially, making them more accessible than ever. Currently, solar panels generally range between 50 and 70 cents per watt.

Solar panels generally have a lifespan of 25 to 30 years, with certain models lasting up to 50 years. Over time, their efficiency decreases by approximately 0.8% annually, so replacing them earlier can help maintain higher energy output. Manufacturers of solar panels typically provide warranties ranging from 20 to 25 years.

Indeed, solar panels can raise the value of your home by more than 20%.

When combined with a battery storage system, solar panels have the capability to store surplus energy produced during the day for use at night.

Indeed, solar batteries can supply backup power during blackouts and other emergencies, making them particularly valuable for businesses operating in regions with frequent grid issues.

While handymen are not qualified to do electrical repairs, homeowners should refrain from attempting these tasks and instead consider hiring a professional electrician.
