Solar module production is more of an assemly line where different components of a solar module are assembled. For example-solar cells (mostly imported from China) are packed and connected in arrays, encapculants are used, solar glasses are used on the top and back to prevent from direct damage from water, cleaning and other threats. Silver pastes are also used in these modules. On the other hand, Alumunium frames are also used at the corners to make it easy to install and transport to give an additional sturdy support.

The major advancement in technology is the progression on more efficient solar modules. Earlier India saw polycrystalline modules which had lesser efficiencies. Later major solar module makers started making mono-PERC technology based solar modules which could offer effiiencies of around 21%. Now the country is slowly moving to TOPCon technology which offers efficiencies higher than mono-PERC. Another advancement had been was in bringing more Wp panels. Now India has panels having a maximum Wp power of upto 680Wp. Higher Wp power means that to generate the same amount of solar power we would need lesser number of panels as a single higher power panel can produce enough power.

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.

When you opt for a on-grid rooftop solar, your conventional meter is changed with a net-meter. These net-meters allow the transfer of surplus solar power generated from your rooftop solar to the grid. It also allows usage of grid electricity when your household power demand is more than solar powerRead more
When you opt for a on-grid rooftop solar, your conventional meter is changed with a net-meter. These net-meters allow the transfer of surplus solar power generated from your rooftop solar to the grid. It also allows usage of grid electricity when your household power demand is more than solar power generation. These net meters allows the discoms to finally calculate the net use of grid power or solar power and furnish the monthly power bills acccordingly.
