Frequently Asked Solar Questions
How do solar security trailers work in cloudy weather?
Solar panels generate power even on cloudy days (at 10-25% capacity), while the 72-96 hour battery backup ensures continuous operation during extended cloudy periods. The system automatically manages power consumption to prioritize essential functions.
What's the payback period for solar vs generator power?
Solar systems typically pay for themselves in 3-6 months compared to generator operations. With zero fuel costs and minimal maintenance, solar saves $1,500-2,500 monthly vs generators, plus eliminates refueling logistics.
Can solar trailers operate year-round in northern climates?
Yes, modern solar security trailers operate reliably year-round even in Seattle and Portland. Winter performance is enhanced with panel angle adjustment, snow-shedding coating, and larger battery banks to compensate for shorter days.
How much maintenance do solar panels require?
Solar panels require minimal maintenance - typically just annual cleaning and inspection. The panels have no moving parts and come with 25-year warranties. Battery systems require checking every 6 months, with replacement after 10-15 years.
What happens if the batteries run out during an extended storm?
Our systems include optional backup connections for emergency generator or grid power. The system automatically switches to backup power if batteries drop below 20%, then returns to solar when conditions improve. Most units never need backup power.
