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.
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.
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 systems work well in rural areas or in areas where there are massive power cuts.
Solar systems generally require minimal maintenance, primarily consisting of periodic cleaning of solar panels and inspection of components for any signs of wear or damage. Most reputable installers offer maintenance packages for hassle-free upkeep.

First of all be clear of the fact that the benefits of PM Surya Ghar is given only for residential properties and not for offices. In caee you want to install rooftop solar at your office, there will be no govt financial support. The first process usually is your application through National Rooftop Portal where you have fill all the details. Soon after you fill the details, the online file goes to the local discoms seeking Technical Feasibility Report (TFR). Usually the discoms grant TFR within 15 days. Only after getting the TFR, you can ask the vendors to install the rooftop solar. Even after installation, your need discom permissions and approvals to commission it.
Emerging trends include the adoption of advanced technologies like bifacial modules and tracking systems, hybrid solar projects integrating storage solutions, and the use of drones and AI for project monitoring and maintenance.
