Several things can lower the amount of electricity your solar system produces. Dust, dirt, and bird droppings on panels (called soiling) can block sunlight, while cloudy or rainy weather naturally reduces how much sun your system gets.

Several things can lower the amount of electricity your solar system produces. Dust, dirt, and bird droppings on panels (called soiling) can block sunlight, while cloudy or rainy weather naturally reduces how much sun your system gets.
Even in perfect conditions, you won’t always get the maximum possible output. This is because your inverter, solar panels, and other equipment don’t work at 100% efficiency all the time. Over the years, solar panels also lose a little bit of their power—usually less than 1% per year. So, while your system may be designed for a certain output, real-world factors always bring that number down a bit.

For example if your meter has a capacity of 3 KW, you are allowed to install rooftop solar only upto 3 Kw. In case you want to install a 4 KW rooftop solar, you first need to increase your electricity meter capacity upto 4 KW before applying for rooftop solar.

Regulatory policies and incentives, such as subsidies, net metering regulations, and tariffs, significantly influence the feasibility and profitability of solar projects in India. Regulations mandate the govt entities or discoms on their approach, timeline and other obligations to complete the rooftop solar projects. Proactive regulatory mechanism allows faster installations of solar projects.

The main benefit of solar compared to using coal or other polluting sources is the reduced Green House Gas emissions, less effect on the local water bodies, less affect on the coal mining etc. Extracting energy from sunlight reduces several such harmful effects which are otherwise involved when we produce energy from fossil fuels like coal, oil and gas. Many of these fossil fuels are exhaustible sources of energy and also their use leads to air pollution and increased global warming.

The efficiency of solar cells (or solar modules at large) means the capacity of the item to capture the sunlight falling onto it and convert it into electrician energy. It is calculated by the total electrical output of the solar cells, divided by the incident solar power input under standard test conditions. The figures are then multiplied by 100. Different type of solar cells produce different level of efficiency based on the technologies used. For example mono-PERC cells are more efficient than polycrystalline cells. Similarly, TOPCon cells are more efficient than mono-PERC cells.
