Energy Myths We Still Believe — And the Truths Behind Them.
When it comes to power, everyone has a theory. From naysayers who say solar doesn’t work in the rain, to those who believe only the rich can afford it, we’ve heard it all.
But the truth? Many of these myths are holding people back from transitioning to solar and discovering the truth about this alternative and affordable energy solution.
Let’s break down some of the most common ones;
Myth 1: Solar only works when the sun is shining bright
Truth:
Solar panels still work on cloudy or rainy days, just at reduced efficiency. With a strong battery system, you can store power during the day and use it around the clock, rain or shine. This is why hybrid systems are so powerful. READ MORE: (THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LITHIUM ION PHOSPHATE (LiFePO4) BATTERY AND TUBULAR BATTERY)
Myth 2: You need to be rich to install solar
Truth:
With Pay-As-You-Go (PAYGo) systems, you can now get started with small weekly or monthly payments. No full payment upfront. No generator stress. No blackout panic. READ MORE: You Can Now Get A Solar System with NO Full Payment Upfront.
Myth 3: Generators are cheaper
Truth:
Let’s do the math: diesel or petrol every week vs. a one-time system that runs for years? Solar pays for itself in the long run. Plus, no noise, no fumes, no ongoing fueling and operational costs, and less concerns on security challenges, as the system can be safely installed indoors.
Myth 4: Solar is complicated to maintain
Truth:
Modern solar systems are plug-and-play. Most are monitored via apps and require little to no maintenance. And if you’re with the right provider (like us – Ignite Energy), support is just a call away.
