The benchmark cost of 1 kW of solar energy has been taken as Rs 55,000 for the first two kW of a system, and Rs 45,000 for third kW. However, actual costs vary depending on state and installer.

G12R-based modules are solar panels built using G12R (210R) size silicon wafers, a newer rectangular wafer format developed to improve module efficiency and manufacturing economics. In comparison, M10 modules use 182 mm square wafers, which have been widely used in the solar industry over the past few years.
The key difference lies in wafer size and shape: G12R wafers are slightly larger and rectangular, allowing manufacturers to design modules with higher power output while maintaining manageable module dimensions for installation and transport. Because of this design, G12R modules can deliver higher wattage, better cell packing density, and improved production efficiency, while also helping reduce costs by lowering material usage and improving line utilization.
These advantages are why many manufacturers see G12R as a next-generation mainstream format, especially as the industry moves toward high-efficiency N-type TOPCon technologies.

1. Solar Inverter Battery
Your inverter’s endurance depends significantly on its battery. Hence, choosing the right battery matters. Your battery’s capacity is defined as the maximum number of hours for which a battery can power all devices. Accordingly, you should assess your energy needs and the average time for which you will require the solar inverter and make an informed decision that helps you optimize the use of solar power.
2. Safety Certification
This one is another essential consideration. You must check the solar inverter for its level of safety. It is crucial to choose a solar inverter certified for its safety by an independent testing authority before you purchase and use it for your solar venture.
3. Inverter’s VA Rating Range
Check the inverter’s VA rating or VA capacity to determine the solar inverter’s output. The VA rating depends on your consumption of power. Higher power consumption refers to a higher requirement of the inverter’s VA rating.
4. Peak Power Considerations
Solar inverters are usually expected to supply two types of power – peak and typical power. Now, what are peak and typical power?
Peak power is the optimal power a solar inverter can supply for a trivial duration, which could be between a few seconds to around ten to twelve minutes. Some appliances require higher power while starting up than they do to operate under normal circumstances after being powered.
On the other hand, typical power is the usual power that the inverter supplies consistently
after the device receives its power to begin and stabilize.
5. Inverter Brand
It is another critical factor to consider. While it is a no-brainer to choose the most popular and the best solar inverter brand, what matters is whether the brand you select enables you to reap optimal returns. Accordingly, you should choose solar inverter brands that offer the features, efficiency, and proposition that allow you to achieve the energy self-dependence you’ve always endeavored for.

The 357 MW solar project will generate clean, renewable energy, reducing Assam’s dependence on fossil fuels. By producing solar power locally, it will lower carbon emissions and help combat climate change. Additionally, the decentralized nature of these solar plants ensures a stable power supply for agricultural and rural areas, improving energy access and reliability.

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.
