    The delay could be primarily at two end-one at the solar vendor end and other at the discom-level end. As per consumers’ feedback, sometimes solar vendors delay the installation of the project due to lack of manpower or availability of raw materials while several times discoms delay the process in inspection of the rooftop system post installation, installation of net-meters, testing of meters and final commissioning of the project. However, several state electricity regulators are now issuing directives to streamline the process.

    That depends on the kind of system you have installed. The most common and prevalent system is a grid connected solar system, with no storage. In this case, your system will not work in case of a power cut or grid failure, as the solar panels are disconnected to the grid That is because your solar sRead more

    That depends on the kind of system you have installed. The most common and prevalent system is a grid connected solar system, with no storage. In this case, your system will not work in case of a power cut or grid failure, as the solar panels are disconnected to the grid That is because your solar system generates energy and sends any excess energy to the grid. This die down in case of power cuts is critical for safety, as back feeding into the grid could potentially cause injury to someone.

    Indian manufacturers are exploring alternative markets to mitigate the impact of U.S. tariffs. Additionally, some companies are considering establishing manufacturing facilities in the U.S. to bypass import tariffs and remain competitive.

    Keep the solar inverters under shade. Also make enough space on the four sides of the inverter to prevent heat accumulation.

    While utility scale solar plants are maintained on a fortnightly basis, frequency of maintenance for rooftop solar panels is at least 3-6 times a year. Though, it is advisable to check your solar companies manual for panel specific maintenance care as well. In many parts of India, dusty environments might necessitate monthly module cleanings as well.

    The solar panel maintenance cost is influenced by the brand and kind of solar panels installed (monocrystalline vs. polycrystalline), as well as the installation method (shed mounted, ground mounted, RCC mounted). Access is obviously critical. Costs should be low enough to be recoverable from the increased productivity of your plant due to regular maintainance.

    Solar inverters convert DC power from solar into AC power which can be used or stored. They can also be tied to the grid to get energy credits. Regular inverters provide conversion from DC to AC and act as a battery backup in case the grid stops sending energy.

    First of all be clear of the fact that the benefits of PM Surya Ghar is given only for residential properties and not for offices. In caee you want to install rooftop solar at your office, there will be no govt financial support. The first process usually is your application through National Rooftop Portal where you have fill all the details. Soon after you fill the details, the online file goes to the local discoms seeking Technical Feasibility Report (TFR). Usually the discoms grant TFR within 15 days. Only after getting the TFR, you can ask the vendors to install the rooftop solar. Even after installation, your need discom permissions and approvals to commission it.
