    Usually a solar vendor for rooftop solar project gives you a package of services together. This includes solar panels, inverters, wires, wiring and solar structures. Solar structures are most import after panels and inverters as it gives the base support on which the system lie. If you have certain preferences in terms of the brand, the built and others, you can ask your vendor to supply those. However, while choosing solar structures you need to also know about the different technologies available, the need for wider structures in case your solar system demand such. There are certain strucutres with technologies like dip galvanised iron which ensures rustling free feature.

    No. Stepping on solar panels, walking over it is not advisable. It leads to pressure on these solar panels, exposing it to the threat of developing micro cracks. The outer surface of solar panels are made up of solar glass which cannot withstand more than its threshold pressure. While these glassesRead more

    No. Stepping on solar panels, walking over it is not advisable. It leads to pressure on these solar panels, exposing it to the threat of developing micro cracks. The outer surface of solar panels are made up of solar glass which cannot withstand more than its threshold pressure. While these glasses are made to withstand high pressure rain and other weather related threats but it cannot withstand other external threats.

    TOPCon (Tunnel Oxide Passivated Contact) solar modules are considered more efficient than existing technologies like mono-PERC and polycrystalline modules. In India, the industry is gradually shifting towards TOPCon due to its higher demand and superior efficiency. While mono-PERC modules typically achieve efficiencies of around 20-22%, TOPCon modules can reach 23-25% efficiency. This means they can convert more sunlight into electricity, making them a more effective choice for solar projects.

    Yes,. This is a common practice in India. Even for the same technology—such as 540 Wp mono-PERC solar modules—different companies offer varying prices. Premium brands often charge higher rates due to their strong market reputation, extensive domestic and global certifications, and other factors.

    In India, only a few companies offer direct sales of solar panels to customers through e-commerce platforms. However, due to the availability of certain panel manufacturers, purchasing panels online is possible. The country has around 130 solar panel manufacturers, with approximately 95 registered under MNRE’s ALMM (Approved List of Models and Manufacturers).

    Most module manufacturers do not sell solar panels directly to customers for rooftop solar projects. Instead, these panels are typically supplied by vendors who handle project installation. If you have a preference for a specific solar panel brand, you can request your vendor to source those panels or compatible inverters to meet your requirements. Vendors often have exclusive arrangements with manufacturers to supply these products. However, it is worth noting that many vendors offer only a limited selection of panel brands, restricting customer choices.

    The efficiency of solar inverters plays a crucial role in power conversion. Most modern solar inverters achieve efficiency levels between 95% and 96%, converting a significant portion of the DC power generated by solar panels into usable AC power.

    The efficiency of solar inverters plays a crucial role in power conversion. Most modern solar inverters achieve efficiency levels between 95% and 96%, converting a significant portion of the DC power generated by solar panels into usable AC power. For instance, if a solar plant produces 100 units of DC power, only about 95 to 96 units will be converted into AC power due to these efficiency limits.
