    Now, with the new PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana, subsidy will continue to be transferred directly to beneficiary accounts.

    Deputy Editor at Saur Energy International | Answer on May 6, 2024 at 6:03 pm

    String inverters are electrical devices that convert the direct current (DC) generated by solar panels into alternating current (AC). They are usually installed in a string formation where multiple solar panels are connected in series to form a single circuit. They differ from central inverters in tRead more

    String inverters are electrical devices that convert the direct current (DC) generated by solar panels into alternating current (AC). They are usually installed in a string formation where multiple solar panels are connected in series to form a single circuit. They differ from central inverters in terms of capacity as central inverters are designed to handle large amounts of power at a fixed frequency.

    Deputy Editor at Saur Energy International | Answer on May 6, 2024 at 5:44 pm

    While utility scale solar plants are maintained on a fortnightly basis, frequency of maintenance for rooftop solar panels is at least 3-6 times a year.

    While utility scale solar plants are maintained on a fortnightly basis, frequency of maintenance for rooftop solar panels is at least 3-6 times a year. Though, it is advisable to check your solar companies manual for panel specific maintenance care as well. In many parts of India, dusty environments might necessitate monthly module cleanings as well.

    The solar panel maintenance cost is influenced by the brand and kind of solar panels installed (monocrystalline vs. polycrystalline), as well as the installation method (shed mounted, ground mounted, RCC mounted). Access is obviously critical. Costs should be low enough to be recoverable from the increased productivity of your plant due to regular maintainance.

    How to calculate ROI for a solar system?

    Manish Kumar
    Manish Kumar
    Deputy Editor at Saur Energy International | Answer on May 6, 2024 at 5:42 pm

    To calculate your solar ROI, first, subtract what you spent initially from how much you'll save over the lifetime of your solar system. Then, divide this by your initial investment, and multiply by 100 to get the percentage. Keep in mind that grid power costs might continue to rise, enhancing your RRead more

    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.
