Once installed, a solar system requires little maintenance as long as it remains unaffected by environmental factors. If panels are kept clean and free of debris, they should continue to function without any additional action by the consumer for many years. 

3. Temperature Effects Interestingly, while solar panels require sunlight to generate power, they are not immune to the effects of temperature. Higher temperatures can reduce the efficiency of solar panels, resulting in a decrease in power output. Most panels are rated at 25°C (77°F), and their performance can diminish by approximately 0.5% for every degree Celsius increase in temperature beyond this standard.

2. Inverters (5%) The inverter is a critical component in any solar power system. It converts the direct current (DC) electricity generated by the solar panels into alternating current (AC) electricity, which is the standard used in homes. Depending on the system’s complexity and size, the inverter can significantly affect the overall cost.

2. Reduced Wiring Costs A higher voltage system requires a lower current to deliver the same power. This means that 48V systems can use thinner cables for installations, which can lead to significant savings in wiring costs. Moreover, thinner wires are lighter and easier to handle, making installation more manageable.
