Frequent Power Outages: Traditional power sources can be unreliable, leading to unexpected outages that disrupt daily life.

High Electricity Bills: Without efficient solar systems, many homeowners face skyrocketing utility bills.

Environmental Concerns: Traditional energy sources contribute to environmental degradation, unlike green sustainable energy.

Dependence on the Grid: Being solely reliant on the grid can leave households vulnerable during load shedding periods.

Lack of Energy Autonomy: Without backup solutions, homeowners can't control when and how they use power.

Maintenance Woes: Traditional power systems often require frequent and costly maintenance, unlike modern solar installations.

The team from StayLit Energy Solutions installed a complete hybrid solar system at my house. Their work is of extremely high quality and very neat. The system works without any problems. I can recommend StayLit without any doubt.

I would recommend Stay Lit anytime. Not only was their price the best out of 4 quotes, but his work is also very neat and professionally done. The team helped us a lot with good advice, and the products he uses are the latest and best on the market. Their after-sales service is excellent, and we have contacted them many times after hours to help with something we wanted to change in the "settings", and they were always very helpful with free aftercare. Anyone can use Stay Lit with great peace of mind. The team also installed the solar system at my parents' house, and they are also very satisfied.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will solar panels increase the value of my home?

Yes, installing solar panels on your roof will generally increase the value of your property. Many buyers look for properties that already have solar power installed, because they can pay lower electricity bills immediately without installing the panels themselves.

Can solar panels create hot water?

Some people get confused about solar power, thinking that it can also create hot water. While the electricity generated by your solar panels can be used to run your hot water system, your solar system itself won't be heating water directly. If you're after a hot water system,

check out a solar hot water system or a heat pump hot water system.

Do solar panels need cleaning?

Most quality solar panels are designed to be self cleaning in the rain. If you don’t have much rain for a period of time however, they can collect dust, debris and bird droppings that will reduce the amount of electricity produced. So it’s a good idea to regularly check your

panels and clean them with a hose or cloth, as necessary.

How much money can I expect to save on my bills?

This depends on a number of factors that include how much electricity your system produces, its efficiency, how much electricity you use, where you live, and the rate you are charged by your electricity provider.

Does roof orientation matter?

Yes, the orientation of your solar panels will make a difference to the amount of electricity produced. A northerly orientation is best, but your solar installer will look at the orientation of your roof and place the panels in the best locations to maximise the production of electricity on your property.

Will solar panels generate electricity on cloudy or rainy days?

Solar panels will stop generating electricity at night but will still generate electricity on cloudy or rainy days, just not as much as on sunny days. To create electricity, your solar panels need direct sunlight, so whilst it doesn’t need to be a bright sunny day all the time, the more sun that hits your panels, the more electricity is produced.

How does solar power work?

When the sun’s rays hit the solar panels on your roof, it is turned into DC current electricity. The problem is that your home uses AC current electricity, which is why you need to install an inverter. The inverter converts the DC current to AC current, which can then be used in your home with the excess fed into the grid (or stored in your battery, if you have one).

Can solar panels withstand hail?

Solar panels are surprisingly durable. In most storms, they can withstand the weather onslaughts that come. Even hail is usually not enough to damage your solar panels. But in severe hailstorms, the

beating might be too much for the panels to withstand.

How long does a solar battery last?

Batteries have varying lifespans, depending on their quality and battery technology. The standard answer would be 5-15 years, but it is also important to take maintenance requirements into consideration.


Generally, lead-acid deep cycle batteries can last up to 6 years with proper care and charging, depending on how frequently they are used. The same can be said for gel batteries, but these are a bit more forgiving when used frequently.


A great quality, well-maintained lithium-ion solar battery can last up to 10 years. Of course, it is incredibly important to make sure that a good battery management system (BMS) is connected, which could extend the lifespan of your battery significantly.


It is always important to remember that a healthy battery will last longer, and can even exceed its expected lifespan.

How long Do Solar Panels Last?

When you're doing your research for this sustainable energy source, it's important to factor in how long solar panels typically last. The industry standard for most solar panels' lifespans is 25 to 30 years. Most reputable manufacturers offer production warranties for 25 years

or more.
