Reno Solar – Like Solar, But Better

There are currently two significant technologies or types of solar panels: silicon solar panels (broken down into monocrystalline and polycrystalline based on how the silicon is processed) and thin-film. Here at Reno Solar, we only use the best panels available in the industry because we take pride in the longevity of our systems. We only use Tier 1 black-on-black panels to keep a sleek and low-profile look on your roof.

Solar panels and their components are designed to last at least 25-30 years, although several accounts of them lasting much longer. According to NREL, a solar panel will still generate 90% of its original energy output on the 20th anniversary! Here at Reno Solar, you get a 25-year equipment and a 10-year workmanship warranty. It’s a solid, no-risk, and reliable investment in your home.

Solar panels demand very little to no maintenance in their lifetime. The glass, silicon, and metal components are designed to last year after year, even when exposed to scorching hot sun, rain pouring rain, howling wind, hail, snow, debris, etc. The system does not carry any moving parts, and the panels are sealed and designed to be weather-tight. Nearly all modern panels have a warranty that protects you from material defects and guarantees energy production for 25 years.

That said, the occasional check-up or light sweeping of debris off your panels definitely won’t hurt. In the winter, snow will usually slide off your panels’ smooth surface.
