What questions we usually get about our solar services
What type of solar system do I need?
Grid-tied systems are great for lowering your electricity bill.
Hybrid systems combine solar with batteries for backup during power outages.
Off-grid systems are ideal for remote areas without access to the grid.
How long do solar panels last?
Most panels last 25–30 years, with minimal performance degradation over time.
Will my solar system work during load shedding?
Yes, but only if you have a hybrid or off-grid system with battery storage. Grid-tied systems automatically switch off during outages for safety reasons.
Do I need approval to install solar panels?
In most municipalities, yes — but Best Solar Systems handles all compliance, paperwork, and installation approvals for you.
