Bifacial modules produce solar power from both sides of the panel. This is based on something called the 'albedo' effect, where a light coloured floor or ground reflects enough light to generate electricity through the reverse side of the bi-facial solar panel.

Bifacial modules produce solar power from both sides of the panel. This is based on something called the ‘albedo’ effect, where a light coloured floor or ground reflects enough light to generate electricity through the reverse side of the bi-facial solar panel. Thus, these panels can generate more power than other panels in the right conditions.
Mono-perc solar panels have a passivated emitter & and rear cell and produce from a single side.

No, you should not sit on solar panels. While panels are rated to be able to carry a certain amount of weight, they are not made for carrying the sitting weight of an adult human. the occasional monkey, birds and hit by hailstones are what panels are designed to weather.

Typically in Indian conditions, you can expect panels equivalent to 1kW to generate between 4-5 units per day on average, when taken for the full year. There are periods when generation will be much higher, like the February to June period. Similarly, in North India, generation during November to January end would be much lower due to pollution, shorter days. In the early summer phase and summers, with clear skies, for every kW capacity, you can get over 5, even 6 units in a day.
To answer your question then, if you go with the new mono panels available today, they would typically be in the 540 Watt range, You would thus need about 6 of those to be sure of getting 350 units per month on average, or 4200 units annually. Bifacial panels will deliver even higher output, at a higher initial cost of course.

String inverters are electrical devices that convert the direct current (DC) generated by solar panels into alternating current (AC). They are usually installed in a string formation where multiple solar panels are connected in series to form a single circuit. They differ from central inverters in terms of capacity as central inverters are designed to handle large amounts of power at a fixed frequency.

If you want to undertake rooftop solar business, you need to register with the discom (electricity distribution company) where you want to operate. As per the PM Surya Ghar scheme norms, only the registered solar vendors can undertake residential rooftop solar installations. The consumers can get subsidies for rooftop solar projects under the PM Surya Ghar scheme only if they get their installations done by registered vendors only. The National Rooftop Portal maintains a list of all the registered solar vendors who are undertaking these installations. For getting registered with the local discom, these companies also need to pay annual fees to them to get their registrations done.
