Sounds pretty good, right?? It is, and here’s what you need to know about going solar in Houston’s neighbor to the west:

How Going Solar In Katy Works

Photovoltaic (PV) solar panels absorb energy from the sun and make direct current (DC) electricity. An inverter changes this DC electricity into alternating current (AC) electricity, which is what homes in Katy use. The inverter is connected to your utility meter and makes a connection with the local power grid.

Solar Panel Lifespan, Warranty & Maintenance

Most solar panels come with a 25-year manufacturer’s warranty, with an expected lifespan of 30-40 years. Believe it or not, solar panels don’t require a whole lot of maintenance. However, you’ll want to make sure your solar panels have full access to light and stay relatively clean (no dust, dirt, sand, pollen, bird droppings, etc.) to keep your panels functioning at full capacity for as long as possible.
