They soak up the sun and turn it into power for your pad. And no, you won&#8217;t be left in the dark during a stormy night. Our grid&#8217;s got your back, ensuring a steady power supply, come rain or shine. But if you don&#8217;t know what the myths are, here&#8217;s the scoop (and the busting that comes with them):<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li><strong>Myth 1<\/strong>: &#8220;No Sun, No Power, Right?&#8221;\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li><strong>Reality check<\/strong>: Nah, not really. Sure, solar panels love sunny days, but they don\u2019t go on strike when it\u2019s cloudy. They still generate power, just a bit less. And no worries at night \u2013 our trusty electricity grid keeps your lights on.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li><strong>Myth 2<\/strong>: &#8220;These Panels Must Need Loads of Maintenance!&#8221;\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li><strong>Reality check<\/strong>: Here\u2019s a pleasant surprise \u2013 they\u2019re pretty low maintenance. Just a bit of cleaning and occasional checks. They\u2019re like that low-maintenance friend who\u2019s always there for you.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li><strong>Myth 3<\/strong>: &#8220;I Bet They Won\u2019t Last Long.&#8221;\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li><strong>Reality check<\/strong>: Wrong again! These panels are like the tortoises in the tech world \u2013 slow and steady wins the race. They\u2019re built to last around 25-30 years. That&#8217;s a lot of electricity over the years!<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li><strong>Myth 4<\/strong>: &#8220;They\u2019ll Make My Roof Look Ugly.&#8221;\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li><strong>Reality check<\/strong>: Beauty\u2019s in the eye of the beholder, but modern solar panels are pretty sleek and blend in well. Plus, what\u2019s a bit of panel chic compared to saving the planet?<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li><strong>Myth 5<\/strong>: &#8220;It\u2019s Way Too Expensive, Not Worth It.&#8221;\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li><strong>Reality check<\/strong>: Okay, we won\u2019t sugarcoat it \u2013 the upfront cost is something to think about. But, it\u2019s an investment. Think lower electricity bills and even make some cash by selling back excess power. Long-term, it\u2019s a win-win.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li><strong>Myth 6<\/strong>: &#8220;It\u2019s All Too Complicated.&#8221;\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li><strong>Reality check<\/strong>: It might seem daunting, but it\u2019s not rocket science. There are plenty of experts in Singapore who can guide you through the process, from assessing your roof to installation. You don\u2019t have to be a solar guru to get on board.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>So there you have it, folks \u2013 some of the biggest solar panel myths, busted! Solar energy is pretty straightforward and a smart move for many Singaporean homes. Don&#8217;t let these myths hold you back from making a sunny decision!<\/p>\r\n<hr \/>\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 id=\"h-so-what-s-the-damage-financially\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">So, what&#8217;s the damage financially?<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Alright, let&#8217;s talk numbers. Installing solar panels isn&#8217;t exactly pocket change. You&#8217;re looking at a range from S$10,000 to S$50,000. But think of it as a long-term investment. On average, you&#8217;ll start seeing your savings outshine your costs in about seven years.<\/p>\r\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"border: none; width: 350px !important; box-shadow: 0px 2px 12px rgb(11 17 52 \/ 15%); border-radius: 16px;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/property-value-widget?contentSource=insider-blog&amp;contentId=solar-panels-on-roof\" width=\"350\" height=\"370\" scrolling=\"no\"><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\"><\/span><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\"><\/span><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\"><\/span><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\"><\/span><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\"><\/span><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\"><\/span><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\"><\/span><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\"><\/span><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\"><\/span><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\"><\/span><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\"><\/span><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\"><\/span><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\"><\/span><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\"><\/span><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\"><\/span><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\"><\/span><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\"><\/span><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\"><\/span><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\"><\/span><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\"><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\"><\/span><\/span><\/iframe><\/p>\r\n<hr \/>\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 id=\"h-from-planning-to-powering-up-installation-steps\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">From planning to powering up: Installation steps<\/h2>\r\n<figure id=\"attachment_72085\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-72085\" style=\"width: 1200px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/solarpanelsbillmeadunsplash-e1704432532361.jpeg\" class=\"img-link media-img img-link media-img\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-72085 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/solarpanelsbillmeadunsplash-e1704432532361.jpeg\" alt=\"solar panels on roof\" width=\"1200\" height=\"900\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-72085\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image credit: Bill Mead<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Ready to get those panels up?
