Can solar panels replace electricity?

In most cases, solar panels don’t replace electricity, but they can supplement it. Solar panels rely on sunlight to generate power, so they are only effective during the day.

Can solar panels be repaired?

Most of the common solar panel faults can be repaired by solar experts, but it will depend on how they were installed.

However, when the panels are broken or cracked, there is no way to repair them.

Can solar panels be re-installed?
