    • Solar panel maintenance and repairs.

    • Flexible financing options to make solar energy accessible

    02. How does solar energy work with Solrex?

    Our solar systems harness sunlight through photovoltaic (PV) panels, converting it into electricity. Key components include:

    • Solar Panels: Generate DC electricity from sunlight.

    • Inverters: Convert DC electricity to AC for home use (e.g., Trina Solar’s 600W+ modules with 210mm wafers for high efficiency).

    • Batteries: Store excess energy for use during outages or low sunlight.

    • Grid Connection: Excess power can be fed back to the grid (if applicable), reducing your electricity bills

    03. What are the benefits of going solar with Solrex?
    • Cost Savings: Reduce electricity bills by up to 40% annually.

    • Energy Independence: Avoid power outages with battery backup systems.

    • Environmental Impact: Lower your carbon footprint using clean, renewable energy.

    • Warranty Protection: Systems are warrantied for up to 25 years

    04. How much does a solar system cost, and what financing options are available?

    Costs vary based on system size and energy needs. For reference:

    • 1kVA Complete Solar inverters start around ₦265,000 (e.g., Luminous, Addo, Eastman).

    • 3kVA systems range from ₦1,850,000 to ₦2,600,000 (e.g., Felicity, Tigfox, Addo, Eastman)
      We offer:

    • Zero-down financing: 95% of homeowners choose this option with low monthly payments.

    • Cash payments: Full upfront payment for those who prefer it

    05. What happens during a power outage?

    Our battery backup systems automatically activate during outages, providing uninterrupted power to essential appliances (e.g., refrigerators, fans, lights). Systems switch to battery power in <10ms, ensuring no disruption

    6. Do you provide maintenance services?

    Yes! Solar panels require minimal maintenance, but we offer:

    • Regular check-ups to ensure peak efficiency.

    • Repair services for any issues.

    • Monitoring via smart systems to detect problems early

    7. How durable are solar panels in harsh weather?

    Our panels (e.g., Trina Solar’s Vertex series, Africell, etc) are built for durability:

    • Hot-spot resistance: Temperatures up to 19°C lower than conventional panels.

    • Non-destructive cutting technology: Reduces risk of micro-cracks.

    • Weatherproofing: Designed to withstand extreme conditions

    8. How do I get started?
    • Schedule a consultation: We assess your energy needs and design a custom system.

    • Financing approval: Choose a payment plan that works for you.

    • Installation: Our experts install and test your system.

    • Support: Enjoy ongoing maintenance and monitoring
