Myth #1: Solar doesn’t work in cold, cloudy places
Fact: Solar works in all climates. Panels can still generate electricity on cloudy days, just at reduced output. Those in colder northern regions may see lower overall annual production but can still save money with solar power.

Myth #2: Solar panels require a lot of maintenance
Fact: Solar panels are very low maintenance. As long as they are installed properly, you can expect decades of hassle-free operation. An occasional hosing down to remove dust is all that’s needed in most cases.

Myth #3: Solar systems are ugly
Fact: Today’s solar panels are sleek, modern, and aesthetically pleasing. Panels can be mounted flush to your roof and various colors are available to complement your home’s style. Good installers will minimize visual impact.

Myth #4: Going solar is too expensive
Fact: Solar system costs have dropped 70% over the last 10 years, making it more affordable than ever. With incentives and rebates, you can go solar with little to no upfront cost through leases and PPAs. The 30% federal tax credit also helps offset the investment.

Myth #5: You have to face panels south for them to work
Fact: Facing south is ideal for maximum production, but solar works on any roof direction. East and west-facing panels will produce the most power during mornings and evenings. Proper design matters more than roof direction.
