On an average it takes one to two months to complete the whole process from your application to the commissioning of the rooftop solar system. However, the real time depends on the state where you live, the proactiveness of the electricity company (discoms) in the region in granting required permissions and the service quality of your solar vendor. In some states like Gujarat, where the whole system is faster, the connections are done within 20 days to one month. We need to keep in mind that in rooftop solar connections, while the solar installation will be done by the vendor, electricity companies handle the issue of installation of net-meters, its testing and final commissioning.

This might be a little surprising, but solar generation doesn;t have much to do with how hot the weather is. Yes, summer days when it’s not cloudy are a great time to see solar kick in strongly,. but extreme heat is not good for generation as well.
This is because solar panels generate electricity thanks to the flow of electrons that are stimulated by light falling on the cell. Most panels available today are tested for optimum operations between 15 to 35 or even 40 degrees centigrade.
When temperatures spike, these electrons can bounce around too much and too fast, reducing voltage, or the amount of electricity generated.
Thus, for every rise in temperature beyond 38 degrees or so, efficiency can come down by 0.5%. At 45 degrees, you could be looking at a 3-4% drop in efficiency therefore.
Excessive heat can even lead to malfunctions of other parts in the system.
Yes, you can, if you are in any of the 13 states that have notified their Green Energy Open Access rules. Under these new rules that were announced in June, 2022 by the centre, all customers, with requirements as low as 100 kW are eligible to apply for green energy through open access.
