    The main advantage of solar power is that it reduces our dependency on polluting sources of energy and helps us to reduce carbon footprints on the earth. More adoption of solar power can help us mitigating climate change, air pollution and global warming. The main disadvantage of solar power is that it does not produce power at night and thus need energy storage systems to store surplus energy. The intermittency somtimes affects functioning and stablity of the grid. Thus to counter these, in large projects, we need extra investments on energy storage.

They can be used on really large commercial rooftops. Not on residential rooftops, as they would not be cost effective.

    In case of rooftop solar, a cosumer cannot sell his/her electricity generated from his residential rooftop solar to any party other than the local electricity distribution company and make profits. Rooftop solar systems are usually designed not to earn money but to reduce monthly electricity bills. Under the net-metering arrangement under the PM Surya Ghar the surplus energy is taken your power company and they also compensate it accordingly. However, in commercial projects, solar project developers earn money from solar projectsBut usually to make money and profits from solar plants, you need to invest more and go through other formalities.

    It is the local electricity company (discom) which gives all the required govt clerances to install the rooftop solar. It is not possible to install rooftop solar without their permission.

    Most inverter makers allow real-time monitoring of rooftop solar performance through their authorised mobile app. For this the inverter needs to be connected either with a wifi or through a GSM system. This empowers the users to track every day generation, monthly and yearly generation, average savings, carbon dioxide emissions reduced among others. This also alerts the users in case any malfunction is reported on the system through the mobile even if the person is not there near the project site.
