    Yes. You can clean solar panels without water too. For this, you can use soft micro-fibre-based cleaners. These are easily available offline and online. Many of them also come with extendable rod lengths to increase the extent of these dry cleaning equipment.

    One way to access your demand is to find out the average consumption of your household in a year. This could be done by adding all the units your consumed monthly and dividing the final amount with 12. This will give uyour averrage annualy consumption.

    One way to access your demand is to find out the average consumption of your household in a year. This could be done by adding all the units your consumed monthly and dividing the final amount with 12. This will give uyour averrage annualy consumption. You have to compare the average monthly productionn of 1 KW of a solar panel and find out how much capacitty you may require to fulfil your monthly power units with solar. Solar installers typically assess energy consumption patterns and available roof space to recommend an appropriate system size. Factors such as budget and future energy needs also play a role in determining the system size.

    It is not mandatory to install residential string inverters inside a room or under a canopy, as they come with IP65 protection enclosures. However, installing a canopy to avoid direct sunlight on the inverters is beneficial. This will ensure that the inverter’s internal components are not adversely affected by heat, thereby increasing the inverter’s lifespan.

Which fault is common in an inverter?

    Some of the common faults include excess grid voltage which disrupts the normal functioning of the inverters. This needs some changes in the settings of the inverters. Some other issues also include problems in the display of the inverters.

    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.

    Yes, you can, if you are in any of the 13 states that have notified their Green Energy Open Access rules. Under these new rules that were announced in June, 2022 by the centre, all customers, with requirements as low as 100 kW are eligible to apply for green energy through open access.
