    Better to go with white paint to increase albedo sensitivity, which will increase the yield.

    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.

    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.

However, lead-acid batteries have a shorter lifespan and typically come with lower warranty periods compared to lithium-ion batteries. In India, due to their lower cost, lead-acid batteries remain in demand.

    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.

    If you are a resident of UP, your bill will show total surplus solar energy exported to the grid, total power taken from the grid and balance surplus solar power from previous month (if any).

    If you are a resident of UP, your bill will show total surplus solar energy exported to the grid, total power taken from the grid and balance surplus solar power from previous month (if any). In UP, the calculations of net energy charges are done based on the solar power an grid power usage. However, even if your surplus solar power is more than your consumed grid power and the energy charges are in negative, you have to pay for your fixd monthy electricity meter charges and electricity duty.

    Answer on May 2, 2024 at 5:08 am

    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.

    Partially true as majority of the solar module makers are based in Gujarat, especially Surat. However, several solar panel factories are now spread on Greater Noida, Ambala, Uttarakhand and even Hyderabad.
