    A cosumer cannot sell his/her electricity generated from his residential rooftop solar to any party other than the local electricity distribution company. 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 projects. But usually to make money and profits from solar plants, you need to invest more and go through other formalities

    In India, only a few companies offer direct sales of solar panels to customers through e-commerce platforms. However, due to the availability of certain panel manufacturers, purchasing panels online is possible. The country has around 130 solar panel manufacturers, with approximately 95 registered under MNRE’s ALMM (Approved List of Models and Manufacturers).

    Most module manufacturers do not sell solar panels directly to customers for rooftop solar projects. Instead, these panels are typically supplied by vendors who handle project installation. If you have a preference for a specific solar panel brand, you can request your vendor to source those panels or compatible inverters to meet your requirements. Vendors often have exclusive arrangements with manufacturers to supply these products. However, it is worth noting that many vendors offer only a limited selection of panel brands, restricting customer choices.

    Yes, solar panels will continue to work even when dirty, although at a degraded performance level. We have tracked output drops of over 15-20% in really dirty panels versus panels cleaned a day earlier.

    Yes, solar panels will continue to work even when dirty, although at a degraded performance level. We have tracked output drops of over 15-20% in really dirty panels versus panels cleaned a day earlier. So if you are in an area prone to dusty weather, then cleaning your panels once a fortnite at least is advisable. Large, utility scale plants of course require much more regular maintenance.

Around 30 Indian solar companies have announced setting up or expanding solar cell lines. If all announcements come true, India will have around 30 companies making solar cells by the end of 2027. The total production capacity from all these 30 companies is likely to touch 110 GW by the end of 2027.

    Yes. Solar manufacturers have revealed that the imposition of Basic Customs Duty (BCD) on solar glass and anti-dumping duty on the same can prevent the availability of cheap solar glass for Indian solar manufacturers. Experts claimed that it would lead to a minor increase in solar panel prices on a per Watt basis. Although this will boost the demand for Indian solar glass makers like Borosil Renewables, this will affect the raw material cost for the solar module makers in India.

    Yes. You can clean solar panels without water too. For this, you can use soft micro-fibre-based cleaners. These are easily available offline and online. Many of them also come with extendable rod lengths to increase the extent of these dry cleaning equipment.

    Solar module production is more of an assemly line where different components of a solar module are assembled. For example-solar cells (mostly imported from China) are packed and connected in arrays, encapculants are used, solar glasses are used on the top and back to prevent from direct damage from water, cleaning and other threats. Silver pastes are also used in these modules. On the other hand, Alumunium frames are also used at the corners to make it easy to install and transport to give an additional sturdy support.

    The main benefit of solar compared to using coal or other polluting sources is the reduced Green House Gas emissions, less effect on the local water bodies, less affect on the coal mining etc. Extracting energy from sunlight reduces several such harmful effects which are otherwise involved when we produce energy from fossil fuels like coal, oil and gas. Many of these fossil fuels are exhaustible sources of energy and also their use leads to air pollution and increased global warming.
