Solar panels come with 25-30 year warranties and will produce electricity for 30+ years. The inverter typically needs replacement at year 10-15. Most systems pay for themselves in 6-10 years.
Yes! Solar panels actually work more efficiently in cooler temperatures. While you'll produce less energy in winter due to shorter days, you'll generate surplus in summer that carries over. Snow usually melts off angled panels quickly.
Most Berlin homes need 400-600 sq ft of usable roof space (roughly 15-25 panels). South-facing roofs are ideal, but east/west-facing roofs also work well. Ground-mounted systems are an alternative if roof space is limited.
With Eversource net metering, you only pay the grid connection fee (~$10-15/month). During sunny months, your solar credits often exceed your usage. Any excess rolls to the next month.
