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.

While cleaning solar modules with water first thing you should do is to use soft bristle cleaner or dedicated solar panel cleaning brushes. You need to also ensure that you do not use excessive water pressure. Excess water pressure can damage your solar panels leading to the development of microcracks. The maximum pressure that can be used for solar panel cleaning is 35 bars. You should also try to use soft water for cleaning solar modules.

Bifacial modules produce solar power from both sides of the panel. This is based on something called the ‘albedo’ effect, where a light coloured floor or ground reflects enough light to generate electricity through the reverse side of the bi-facial solar panel. Thus, these panels can generate more power than other panels in the right conditions.
Mono-perc solar panels have a passivated emitter & and rear cell and produce from a single side.

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:
ALMM restrictions, effective April 1, apply to almost all solar projects. The only exception they effectively allow is for off grid projects, where you are not using the grid at all. Captive projects, since they are connected to the grid, are not exempt anymore.

Yes, you can run a 1.5 Ton AC on solar power without batteries by using a grid-tied solar power system. As your solar system is connected with the grid, you can easilty run all your heavy appliances irrespective of the capacity of your solar panels.

Currently, in India, two types of modules are used in solar projects: DCR (Domestic Content Requirement) modules and non-DCR modules. As per government mandates, most government-backed projects are required to use DCR modules.
DCR modules are those manufactured using solar cells produced domestically. This means that any solar module made using solar cells manufactured within India qualifies as a DCR module.
