Think solar panels are too expensive or don’t work in clouds? Discover the truth behind the top 5 solar myths & why it’s time to switch to solar with Greenedge.

As the world shifts towards clean energy, more and more homeowners are considering solar panels to save money and reduce their carbon footprint. Yet despite the growing popularity, there are still many misconceptions and myths floating around that stop people from making the switch.At GreenEdge Infratech, we’re here to clear the air! Let’s bust the top 5 myths about solar panels so you can make an informed decision for your home or business.

???? Myth 1: Solar Panels Don’t Work in Cloudy or Cold Weather
Fact: Solar panels generate power from sunlight, not heat. Even on cloudy days, they still capture diffused sunlight and produce electricity. Countries like Germany and the UK—known for cloudy weather—have thriving solar industries.

✅ In winter or monsoon, output might be slightly lower, but solar still works efficiently year-round in most parts of India, including Aligarh.

???? Myth 2: Solar Panels Are Too Expensive to Afford
act: Thanks to the PM Surya Ghar Yojana and state-level solar subsidies, installing solar is more affordable than ever. With government incentives, you can get up to ₹78,000 or more in subsidy, plus EMI or financing options.

✅ In most cases, you recover your investment in 3–5 years through reduced electricity bills—and enjoy free power for the next 20 years!

???? Myth 3: Solar Panels Require a Lot of Maintenance
Fact: Solar panels are built to last and require minimal maintenance. A simple cleaning once every 15–30 days (to remove dust and bird droppings) is usually enough. Most systems have no moving parts, and inverters come with warranty of 5+ years.

✅ We offer Annual Maintenance Contracts (AMC) and smart monitoring tools so you can stay worry-free.

???? Myth 4: Solar Panels Will Damage My Roof
Fact: Solar panels are installed with precision using mounting structures that protect your roof. In fact, they can extend your roof’s life by shielding it from direct sun, rain, and heat.

✅ At GreenEdge Infratech, we follow best practices and engineering standards to ensure safe and non-invasive installation.

⚡ Myth 5: Solar Power Isn’t Reliable or Efficient
Fact: Today’s solar technology is highly efficient and reliable, with panels converting up to 22% of sunlight into electricity. With the right system size, inverter, and net metering setup, your solar system can power most—if not all—of your daily energy needs.

✅ You can also use hybrid systems with battery backup for power during outages.

✅ Don’t Let Myths Stop You From Going Solar
Solar energy is clean, reliable, and financially smart. Whether you’re looking to reduce your electricity bills, support a greener planet, or simply make a wise investment—solar is a win-win!
