    In India, solar manufacturers mainly use three types of encapsulants: EVA, POE, and newer TPO or hybrid co-extruded materials. EVA is the industry workhorse because it is affordable and offers good clarity, but it can yellow over time and is more vulnerable to moisture and PID, especially in hot and humid regions. POE has become popular for advanced modules like TOPCon and HJT since it provides stronger protection against moisture and PID, along with better long-term reliability, though it costs more and takes longer to laminate. Newer TPO and hybrid films try to offer the best of both worlds, combining EVA’s ease of processing with POE’s durability, but they are still developing and sometimes face supply or consistency issues. Overall, all these encapsulants serve the essential job of shielding solar cells from weather, UV light, and electrical stress, with manufacturers choosing based on climate needs, technology type, and cost-performance balance.

    It is recommended to use soft water to clean your solar panels to avoid any damage. Avoid using tap water if the TDS is higher.

    Under the PM Surya Ghar Scheme, there is a cap on the capacity of a solar plant that a residential household can install. In most states, the sanctioned load or household meter capacity determines the maximum permissible system size. The scheme also places a limit on the total subsidy that can be availed. For instance, if a household has already received a subsidy of Rs 78,000 for a 3 kW system, it cannot claim additional subsidy for future system expansion, even if such an expansion is permitted under state power regulatory rules.

    Solar inverter makers give special LCD display on their equipment for the solar plant owners to monitor their functioning. This is in addition to the mobile app connected through WiFi which is also used to monitor the functioning of solar inverters. In case of any error (like in case of high grid voltage, malfunctioning of inverters and others, error messages or disconnected messages are shown both in the LCD and on the mobile app. It is advised that the solar plant user should regularly check the functioning of the inverters to avoid loss of generation from the solar plants. In case of any inverter issue, connect with the solar vendor who installed the inverter an solar panel for assistance. In case they are of no help, connect with the inverter manufacturer.
