  1. Asked: July 1, 2025In: Solar Module

    Do mounting structures have the same safety standards as solar panels and inverters?

    Team of Solar Faqs | Answer on July 1, 2025 at 6:28 pm

    No. While panels and inverters must meet strict certification standards, mounting structures currently lack comprehensive mandatory norms or certifications in India.

  2. Asked: June 30, 2025In: Solar Structure

    Why is the quality of solar structure so important?

    Solar Faqs Team

    Team of Solar Faqs | Answer on June 30, 2025 at 5:37 pm

    The structure holds your entire solar system together. Poor-quality mounting structures can collapse in high winds or storms, risking lives and damaging property—even if your solar panels and inverters are top-grade.

    Team of Solar Faqs | Answer on June 26, 2025 at 5:55 pm

    Yes. The solar panel technology namely-polycrystalline, mono-PERC and TOPCon can produce different quantum of power per day due to improved quality despite having the same wattages. So pick the latest technology to ensure the peak generation from your rooftop system. Out of all these, TOPCon produceRead more

    Most inverter makers allow real-time monitoring of rooftop solar performance through their authorised mobile app. For this the inverter needs to be connected either with a wifi or through a GSM system. This empowers the users to track every day generation, monthly and yearly generation, average savings, carbon dioxide emissions reduced among others. This also alerts the users in case any malfunction is reported on the system through the mobile even if the person is not there near the project site.

  5. Asked: June 24, 2025In: Solar Inverter

    What precautions I need to take to make my inverter safe?

    Solar Faqs Team
    Solar Faqs Team
    Team of Solar Faqs | Answer on June 24, 2025 at 5:31 pm

    Keep the solar inverters under shade. Also make enough space on the four sides of the inverter to prevent heat accumulation.

  7. Asked: June 12, 2025In: O&M

    Can I use my tap water for cleaning solar panels?

    Solar Faqs Team
    Solar Faqs Team
    Team of Solar Faqs | Answer on June 12, 2025 at 5:34 pm

    It is recommended to use soft water to clean your solar panels to avoid any damage. Avoid using tap water if the TDS is higher.

  8. Asked: June 11, 2025In: Solar Module

    Can I use soft cloth/brush to clean solar panels instead of water?

    Solar Faqs Team
    Solar Faqs Team
    Team of Solar Faqs | Answer on June 11, 2025 at 4:58 pm

    Yes. You can use non-abrasive soft clothes or duster to clean the solar panels to remove upper layer dust. Try to do it in an interval of 5-7 days, based on the dust levels to avoid unecessary wearing chances. You can use water for clearning twice a month to remove hard to remove layers of dust withRead more

    How can I calculate how much my rooftop solar can generate in a day?

    To estimate how much electricity your solar system can generate in a day, you need a few key pieces of information:

    The total DC capacity of your solar system (in kW)

    The average number of peak sunlight hours in your area (also called solar irradiation)

    Just multiply your system size by the peak sunlight hours to get the theoretical daily generation.
    For example, if you have a 3 kW system and your area gets 5 hours of good sunlight daily, then:

    3 kW × 5 hours = 15 units (kWh) per day (theoretical)

    However, in real-world conditions, solar systems usually operate at about 78% to 80% efficiency due to energy losses (from wiring, inverter, dust on panels, etc.).

    So, you can expect around 20% less generation than the theoretical figure.
    Using the example above, the actual generation would be about:

  10. Asked: May 22, 2025In: Solar Module

    If I use solar panels with the same wattage, will there be a difference in energy production between TOPCon and mono PERC technologies?

    Solar Faqs Team
    Solar Faqs Team
    Team of Solar Faqs | Answer on May 22, 2025 at 5:01 pm

    Even for the same wattage (Wp), TOPCon-based solar panels can perform better (or proudce more solar power). This is due to the better efficient solar cells used and lower degradation levels. On an average it is said that TOPCon-based modules can produce 5% extra generation than mono-perc based solarRead more
