01 How much can I save with solar panels?
Savings depend on your system size, energy usage, and sunlight exposure, but most homeowners save 50–80% on their electricity bills—and even more with battery storage.
02 Do I need a battery with my solar system?
While not required, a battery allows you to store excess solar power for use at night or during blackouts, giving you greater energy independence and more savings.
We recommend a detailed assessment of your electricity bill to give you an answer.
03 How long does installation take?
A standard residential solar installation typically takes one day. Battery installation may add extra time depending on the setup.
Basically, the whole job can be completed in one day.
04 What kind of warranty comes with solar panels?
Most quality solar panels come with a 25-year performance warranty and a 10–15-year product warranty, depending on the brand.

Yes! At CHT INDUSTRY ELECTRICAL, we offer a workmanship warranty, typically ranging from 5 to 10 years, covering issues related to installation.
