FAQ’s
General solar energy questions
-
Solar energy captures sunlight using solar panels and converts it into electricity through photovoltaic cells, which can then power your business.
-
Yes, solar panels still generate electricity on cloudy days, although at reduced efficiency. Energy production depends on light levels, not just direct sunlight.
-
Solar energy reduces electricity costs, provides energy independence, and supports sustainability goals by lowering your carbon footprint.
-
High-quality solar panels typically last 25-30 years, with minimal efficiency degradation over time.
-
Excess solar energy can be stored in a battery (BESS) or exported to the grid, depending on your system setup. At RenEnergy, we design solutions that optimise both options.
-
Yes. Solar installations are increasingly viewed as energy-efficient upgrades that can enhance property value and appeal to eco-conscious buyers.
RenEnergy’s services
-
We offer tailored solar PV installations, Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), solar carports, EV charging infrastructure, and consultancy services to meet your renewable energy needs.
-
Yes, our asset management services include regular cleaning, maintenance, and repairs to ensure your solar system operates at peak efficiency.
Technical questions
-
Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) store excess solar energy for use during peak demand or outages, maximising solar efficiency and providing backup power.
-
Yes, when paired with a battery storage system, solar panels can provide uninterrupted power during load shedding or grid failures.
-
Roof-mounted: Utilises existing building space, cost-effective for small-to-medium systems.
Ground-mounted: Ideal for large-scale projects requiring high energy output.
Carport: Dual-purpose installations that generate power while providing shaded parking.
Environmental and financial benefits
-
Savings depend on your energy consumption and system size. Businesses can reduce energy bills significantly, often seeing ROI within 5–7 years.
-
Solar reduces reliance on fossil fuels, lowers greenhouse gas emissions, and supports a cleaner, greener planet.
Regulations and financing
-
RenEnergy offers flexible financing solutions, including PPAs, outright purchases, and customised plans to suit your needs.
-
A site survey will assess roof condition, shading, orientation, and structural compatibility to determine solar feasibility.
EV charging and solar carports
-
Yes, our solar carport systems can integrate EV charging infrastructure, providing renewable energy for vehicles.
-
Solar panels generate electricity stored in batteries, which is then used to power EV charging stations for clean, sustainable transport solutions.
Maintenance and warranties
-
Solar panels need periodic cleaning to remove dirt and debris. Our asset management services handle this for you, ensuring optimal performance.
-
RenEnergy provides warranties on solar panels, inverters, and installation workmanship. Specific details vary by product and system.
Getting started
-
Installation timelines vary by project size and complexity but typically range from 4–16 weeks, including planning and approvals.
