    Yes, Mounted solar panels are available in the market and are being used widely. BIPV (Building Integrated PV) for instance refers to panels that are used as substitutes for windows. Similarly, solar panels are being used on balcony’s now, besides for fencing as a solar fence. These options, while not optimum in terms of generation, do help to provide you with a solar energy source in well irradiated areas.

    Solar panels work at full efficiency at around 25˚C. So even in winter they work fine. Even at lower temperatures, they typically perform well if sunshine is good. Colder regions, with their lesser issues of dust are also beneficial for solar generation. Remember, solar energy is generated by lightRead more

    Solar panels work at full efficiency at around 25˚C. So even in winter they work fine. Even at lower temperatures, they typically perform well if sunshine is good. Colder regions, with their lesser issues of dust are also beneficial for solar generation. Remember, solar energy is generated by light falling on solar panels, not by heat. So really hot temperatures offer no benefit to users.

    Size of solar inverter dependent on the equipments that are intended to be used while utility supply is down. Total load on inverter is equal to the sum of all nameplate rating of such equipments. While sizing, some equipment like air conditioner and refrigerators should be sized at 2/3 times normal rating to account for the high inrush current drawn by these equipments while starting. An additional 25 -30 % can be considered as buffer for future expansion.
