    For projects on a 5 MW scale, central inverters are more suitable due to their robustness and reliability. String inverters are often more volatile, with many models in the current market not lasting more than three years.

    For projects on a 5 MW scale, central inverters are more suitable due to their robustness and reliability. String inverters are often more volatile, with many models in the current market not lasting more than three years. Since 2018, FIMER has been supplying the PVS980 series central inverters, which have proven to be reliable over time. The long-term availability of string inverters, especially for up to 25 years, is a significant concern.

    Additionally, compliance with CEA (Central Electricity Authority) regulations is challenging with string inverters. FIMER central inverters, such as the PVS980 series, are designed to meet local grid requirements and comply with CEA regulations, making them a more reliable choice for large-scale solar projects.

    It depends on the sector of solar we talk about. Like for residential rooftop solar, govt gives subsidies of around Rs 78,000 for a 3 Kw system. In case of large projects, there are other incentives through Green Energy Open Access, incentives in transmission, land banks, plug and play services etc.

    Yes, solar panels will continue to work even when dirty, although at a degraded performance level. We have tracked output drops of over 15-20% in really dirty panels versus panels cleaned a day earlier.

We have tracked output drops of over 15-20% in really dirty panels versus panels cleaned a day earlier. So if you are in an area prone to dusty weather, then cleaning your panels once a fortnite at least is advisable. Large, utility scale plants of course require much more regular maintenance.

    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.

    Consumers who want to apply for the connections under the scheme can apply through the National Rooftop Solar Portal also called PM Surya Ghar Portal. Here the consumers need to make an online account with their mobile number and OTP, fill the form and submit their applications. Application is free of cost. After the application, the local power distribution company takes up the Feaibility Report and after that the consumer cabn choose their vendors who can install the project. Consumers also need to fill their bank account details and the government gives subsidies after the commissiong of the project. The subsidies comes after around 30days-45 days. Consumers can also track the status of their project and disbursement of the subsidies with this portal.
