BENEFITS OF SOLAR PLATES
# 1 - Fast Return on Investment (ROI)
Installing a solar home system, other than buying a new TV or even buying a car, is an investment because, as long as it starts to generate power, you start to get a return on the money you spend, which is the savings account.
Several factors are studied when calculating the return on investment of the photovoltaic system (also known as payback), such as the distributor's tariff, energy inflation and even the size of the system.
However, the average payback of a residential solar power system today is 4 to 7 years, something extremely attractive when we take into consideration the life of the system, which is our two item.materials and installation costs.

# 2 - Long Technology Life
Although they are installed on the roofs and are exposed every day on the sun and rain, photovoltaic panels (correctly known as photovoltaic modules) have a lifespan of more than 25 years.
In addition, most manufacturers will guarantee an efficiency of at least 80% compared to the original by that time, that is, a module up to the 25th year of life will generate at least 80% of the amount of energy it generated at the beginning.
The inverter, which is the other large equipment in the system, has a service life of at least 15 years, which can be greater if the system receives the necessary maintenance, item 3 of this list.

# 3 - Low Maintenance
Compared with the purchase of a car, which requires periodic maintenance every 3 months, photovoltaic systems, although they are there, running and generating energy for 12 hours a day, require very low maintenance.
The main one, and that can be done by the consumer itself, is the cleaning of the modules, but this only in case they are very dirty, which is not frequent since they have a nonstick film that prevents the accumulation of dirt.
In the case of dust, the rainwater itself will take care of it, however, in case of pollution or excrement of birds, cleaning is simple and requires only a jet of water and a broom with soft bristles.
Apart from this maintenance of cleaning of the modules, the electrical maintenance of the system is also necessary, but with less frequency, only once a year, and that guarantee the optimization of the system generation.

# 4 - Weather Resistance
In addition to poor maintenance, the consumer who installs a system can rest assured of frequent repairs.
This is because the systems, precisely because they need to be exposed over the open sky (plates) and be electric, have their equipment manufactured with all the sturdiest surge protection.
The boards, because they are more vulnerable, have such resistance that they withstand impacts from large hail balls, all to ensure that they are working during their long life.

# 5 - Quick Installation
Ok, you've been fascinated by all these advantages, made sure that residential solar energy is worth it and decided that, you also want to become the generator of your own energy.
But, does it take to install? You may wonder. The short answer is: no. Aside from some complication, the average term of the residential facilities is of 2 to 3 days.

# 6 - Silent Generation
Worried about noises or noises coming from the roof and taking away your peace? That nothing! The generation of energy by solar photovoltaic technology is totally silent.
This is because it uses a photochemical process, not a mechanical one, to generate electrical energy, called a photovoltaic effect, and that occurs silently within each of the cells that make up the module.
So rest assured that you can take that afternoon's hot afternoon nap, turn on your air conditioner or fan with the certainty that you will not have high light bills at the end of the month.

# 7 - Immunity Against Energy Inflation
Lastly, the best. Installing a photovoltaic system, in addition to a high return investment, is to be protected against energy inflation that haunts consumers' pockets.
Another month of red flag? It does not matter to anyone who generates their own energy directly from their roof. This is the liberating power that solar energy delivers to you
