    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.

    No, you should not sit on solar panels. While panels are rated to be able to carry a certain amount of weight, they are not made for carrying the sitting weight of an adult human. the occasional monkey, birds and hit by hailstones are what panels are designed to weather.

    Now days Government is also very supportive with solar. in Past it used to take 2-3 month to setup as solar system but now it only takes around 20 -25 days or even faster to complete a solar panel setup.

    Till 10 KW setup, it will only take 1-2 days to complete the installation rest all will take for the paperwork, Government formalities and the net metering.

    You can also search for the platform like Solarsation.in for your nearest and qualified solar vendor. This platform also guides you at each step.

    Typically in Indian conditions, you can expect panels equivalent to 1kW  to generate between 4-5 units per day on average, when taken for the full year.

    Typically in Indian conditions, you can expect panels equivalent to 1kW  to generate between 4-5 units per day on average, when taken for the full year. There are periods when generation will be much higher, like the February to June period. Similarly, in North India, generation during November to January end would be much lower due to pollution, shorter days. In the early summer phase and summers, with clear skies, for every  kW capacity, you can get over 5, even 6 units in a day.

    To answer your question then, if you go with the new mono panels available today, they would typically be in the 540 Watt range, You would thus need about 6 of those to be sure of getting 350 units per month on average, or 4200 units annually. Bifacial panels will deliver even higher output, at a higher initial cost of course.

    It all depends on your demand. In urban areas on-grid solar systems are more popular. Even the subsidies under PM Surya Ghar are also applicable to only on-grid systems.

    It all depends on your demand. In urban areas on-grid solar systems are more popular. Even the subsidies under PM Surya Ghar are also applicable to only on-grid systems. The benefits of on-grid system could be maximised only in areas where there is least power cuts like in urban areas. Off-grid systems work well in rural areas or in areas where there are massive power cuts.
