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

    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

    In case of rooftop solar, a cosumer cannot sell his/her electricity generated from his residential rooftop solar to any party other than the local electricity distribution company and make profits. Rooftop solar systems are usually designed not to earn money but to reduce monthly electricity bills.Read more

    In case of rooftop solar, a cosumer cannot sell his/her electricity generated from his residential rooftop solar to any party other than the local electricity distribution company and make profits. Rooftop solar systems are usually designed not to earn money but to reduce monthly electricity bills. Under the net-metering arrangement under the PM Surya Ghar the surplus energy is taken your power company and they also compensate it accordingly. However, in commercial projects, solar project developers earn money from solar projectsBut usually to make money and profits from solar plants, you need to invest more and go through other formalities.

    ALMM stands for the Approved List of Module Manufacturers.

    ALMM stands for the Approved List of Module Manufacturers. It is a list released by India’s Ministry of New And Renewable Energy (MNRE), and lists all the manufacturers whose modules are approved for use in solar projects in India.

    Following a recent notification on March 27, the MNRE has made it clear that only ALMM approved modules can be used in all government backed projects, and even projects in Open Access and Rooftop solar. That means you could potentially use foreign modules (after paying a 40% customs/import duty), only in off grid solar projects that are not subsidised in any way, if at all.

    For more coverage of ALMM and manufacturers there, do refer to SaurEnergy.com.

    No. Stepping on solar panels, walking over it is not advisable. It leads to pressure on these solar panels, exposing it to the threat of developing micro cracks. The outer surface of solar panels are made up of solar glass which cannot withstand more than its threshold pressure. While these glassesRead more

The outer surface of solar panels are made up of solar glass which cannot withstand more than its threshold pressure. While these glasses are made to withstand high pressure rain and other weather related threats but it cannot withstand other external threats.

    Reliance is yet to begin manufacturing solar modules. The company will begin production By March-April 2024 at its Jamnagar facility, based on inputs provided by it.

    Reliance is yet to begin manufacturing solar modules. The company will begin production By March-April 2024 at its Jamnagar facility, based on inputs provided by it. However, initially, most of their production is expected to be used for captive consumption. So you may not need modules manufactured by Reliance being available for sale until much later.

    However REC, a Singapore based firm that has been in the business of making solar modules  for a long time was acquired by Reliance Industries in 2021. To that extent, you can buy modules from a Reliance owned module manufacturer even today in India.

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

    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.

    Encapsuilants are sheets that are used as a surface between the solar cells and the glass to give adhesion and protection.

What is the relation between TOPCOn modules and watt-peak (Wp)?

    Manish Kumar
    Deputy Editor at Saur Energy International | Answer on April 9, 2025 at 6:12 pm

    TOCOn based solar modules come in high Wp. Like above 620 Wp. That means that the similar single panel can produce more energy that the conventional soalr panels. This will allow lesser requirement of land for solar projects.

    The additional surplus solar energy produced in rooftop solar setups in a grid-connected rooftop solar system is given to your electricity distribution company. The total number of surplus units not used by you and sent to the grid is also adjusted in your bill. So for example 100 units of surplus solar energy is not used by you and was sent to the grid, the electricity company while generating your bill will reduce 100 units from your total energy that used from the grid.
