See lessYes. 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.

See lessYes,. This is a common practice in India. Even for the same technology—such as 540 Wp mono-PERC solar modules—different companies offer varying prices. Premium brands often charge higher rates due to their strong market reputation, extensive domestic and global certifications, and other factors.

Several solar companies provide Operations & Maintenance (O&M) service for the initial 5 years as the major components like solar panels and solar inverters provide warranty for this period. Some solar companies give regular monthly cleaning in a package during the time of installation either for a period of 5 years and even after that. There are also some companies dedicated to the O&M services at a cost. However, there are also several non-professional companies that have flourished. Some of them are seen using high pressure water and detergents to clean the solar panels. So please choose your O&M partner based on their team strength and background.

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 nRead 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.

That depends on the kind of system you have installed. The most common and prevalent system is a grid connected solar system, with no storage. In this case, your system will not work in case of a power cut or grid failure, as the solar panels are disconnected to the grid That is because your solar sRead more
That depends on the kind of system you have installed. The most common and prevalent system is a grid connected solar system, with no storage. In this case, your system will not work in case of a power cut or grid failure, as the solar panels are disconnected to the grid That is because your solar system generates energy and sends any excess energy to the grid. This die down in case of power cuts is critical for safety, as back feeding into the grid could potentially cause injury to someone.

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.
