    Hybrid inverters or any inverters attached to solar systems are installed by professionals who have training and expertise in setting up solar projects. Hybrid inverters give the extra advantage of using solar power from grid-connected solar system even when there is power blackout from the grid. Do not try to do any such installation on your own, otherwise it can expose you to the risk of electrical shocks.

    The delay could be primarily at two end-one at the solar vendor end and other at the discom-level end. As per consumers' feedback, sometimes solar vendors delay the installation of the project due to lack of manpower or availability of raw materials while several times discoms delay the process in iRead more

    The delay could be primarily at two end-one at the solar vendor end and other at the discom-level end. As per consumers’ feedback, sometimes solar vendors delay the installation of the project due to lack of manpower or availability of raw materials while several times discoms delay the process in inspection of the rooftop system post installation, installation of net-meters, testing of meters and final commissioning of the project. However, several state electricity regulators are now issuing directives to streamline the process.

    No. There is no free solar scheme run by the government. These are rumours created by fake website. The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) is actually running a subsidized rooftop solar scheme for residential consumers where the consumers can get upto Rs 78,000 subsidies for installting rooftop solar. However, they have to bear the upfront cost on their own at the time of installation. There are other subsidized solar schemes too like PM-KUSUM where farmers get solar pumps with subsidy support.

    Deputy Editor at Saur Energy International | Answer on September 3, 2024 at 11:42 am

    Solar structures are usually the strucutures on which the solar systems rest. So it is very important to ensure that they are high quality. It is because a low quality and low width structures cannot withstand high wind speeds and may even break. So when you are investing for a rooftop solar, you neRead more

It is because a low quality and low width structures cannot withstand high wind speeds and may even break. So when you are investing for a rooftop solar, you need to ask your vendors for a quality and strong solar structures to make your whole system more stiff and strong to fight against strong winds, rains and other challenges.

  6. Asked: September 3, 2024In: Solar Module

    How much solar power a 3 Kw can produce everyday in a rooftop solar system?

    Manish Kumar
    Manish Kumar
    Deputy Editor at Saur Energy International | Answer on September 3, 2024 at 11:42 am

    Usually in a residential rooftop project, a 3 Kw rooftop solar can ideally generate upto 10-12 units per day. The daily generations are usually dependent on the local weather. Usually when there is good sunlight throughout the day, you can get the best generation (if your solar panels are clean). DuRead more

    Usually in a residential rooftop project, a 3 Kw rooftop solar can ideally generate upto 10-12 units per day. The daily generations are usually dependent on the local weather. Usually when there is good sunlight throughout the day, you can get the best generation (if your solar panels are clean). During clouds, rains, the generations reduces. So a system which can generate around 12 Kw per day can also generate 5 kw or 7 Kw during clouds/rains. The generation also varies season to season, depending on the quality of sunlight and availaility of sunlight.

  7. Asked: September 3, 2024In: Solar Module

    In my area, there is regular power cuts, how can I maximise rooftop solar output?

    Manish Kumar
    Manish Kumar
    Deputy Editor at Saur Energy International | Answer on September 3, 2024 at 11:42 am

    In areas where there are regular power cuts and you have a grid-connected solar rooftop, you will not be able to use solar once power is not supplied by the grid in a conventional setup. So the panels will be producing power but won't be able to use it. In such cases, you need to use hybrid inverterRead more

    In areas where there are regular power cuts and you have a grid-connected solar rooftop, you will not be able to use solar once power is not supplied by the grid in a conventional setup. So the panels will be producing power but won’t be able to use it. In such cases, you need to use hybrid inverters with battery storage. In this system, one can use solar power even duiring blackouts.

    The major advancement in technology is the progression on more efficient solar modules. Earlier India saw polycrystalline modules which had lesser efficiencies. Later major solar module makers started making mono-PERC technology based solar modules which could offer effiiencies of around 21%. Now the country is slowly moving to TOPCon technology which offers efficiencies higher than mono-PERC. Another advancement had been was in bringing more Wp panels. Now India has panels having a maximum Wp power of upto 680Wp. Higher Wp power means that to generate the same amount of solar power we would need lesser number of panels as a single higher power panel can produce enough power.

    Which is better, off-grid or on-grid solar system?

    Manish Kumar
    Manish Kumar
    Deputy Editor at Saur Energy International | Answer on June 13, 2024 at 10:51 am

    It all depends on your demand. In urban areas on-grid solar systems are more popular. Even the subsidies under PM Surya Ghar are also applicable to only on-grid systems. The benefits of on-grid system could be maximised only in areas where there is least power cuts like in urban areas. Off-grid systRead more

The benefits of on-grid system could be maximised only in areas where there is least power cuts like in urban areas. Off-grid systems work well in rural areas or in areas where there are massive power cuts.
