    Discoms offer different services in a rootop solar connection. For example they give technical feaibility report for your syatem (for connections uptp 10kw it is automated now). They also are involved in installation of net-meters. However they mainly act as quality control mechanism. Post installation, discoms check the system for safety like wiring, earthing and others which can ensure that the consumer and grid are safe with the new connection and there is no defiance in the new connections against the prescribed norms.

    Subsidies by the government would bring down the cost of installing the panels as well as pay for the power generation.

The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) is actually running a subsidized rooftop solar scheme for residential consumers where the consumers can get upto Rs 78,000 subsidies for installting rooftop solar. However, they have to bear the upfront cost on their own at the time of installation. There are other subsidized solar schemes too like PM-KUSUM where farmers get solar pumps with subsidy support.

How do I calculate my solar bill for my house?

    Manish Kumar
    Deputy Editor at Saur Energy International | Answer on May 23, 2024 at 3:19 pm

    Solar bill can be calculated using the daily electricity usage for the house minus the electricity generated by the solar panels. The result is multiplied by the electricity rates in your area. A negative result means that you have energy credit.

Do solar inverters come with features to prevent any short circuit? Can you explain how it works?

    FIMER inverters have semi-conductor fast acting fuses on AC & DC side to protect inverter from SC and AC breaker to trip and isolate inverter during fault conditions.

    This might be a little surprising, but solar generation doesn;t have much to do with how hot the weather is. Yes, summer days when it’s not cloudy are a great time to see solar kick in strongly,. but extreme heat is not good for generation as well.

    This is because solar panels generate electricity thanks to the flow of electrons that are stimulated by light falling on the cell. Most panels available today are tested for optimum operations between 15 to 35 or even 40 degrees centigrade.

    When temperatures spike, these electrons can bounce around too much and too fast, reducing voltage, or the amount of electricity generated.

    Thus, for every rise in temperature beyond 38 degrees or so, efficiency can come down by 0.5%. At 45 degrees, you could be looking at a 3-4% drop in efficiency therefore.
    Excessive heat can even lead to malfunctions of other parts in the system.

    Solar structures are usually the strucutures on which the solar systems rest. So it is very important to ensure that they are high quality. It is because a low quality and low width structures cannot withstand high wind speeds and may even break. So when you are investing for a rooftop solar, you need to ask your vendors for a quality and strong solar structures to make your whole system more stiff and strong to fight against strong winds, rains and other challenges.
