    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.

    Solar cell manufacturing is inherently more complex than solar module production, which is largely an assembly-based process. The production of solar cells requires significantly higher capital investment at the outset. In India, the establishment of solar cell production facilities also involves navigating additional regulatory hurdles. This is due to the water usage during production and the disposal of effluents. Furthermore, the handling of ingots and wafers involves working with hazardous materials. As a result, apart from the capital requirements, solar cell manufacturing and related backward integration must comply with stricter environmental, pollution control, safety, and waste management regulations at the state level.

    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.

    While cleaning solar modules with water first thing you should do is to use soft bristle cleaner or dedicated solar panel cleaning brushes. You need to also ensure that you do not use excessive water pressure. Excess water pressure can damage your solar panels leading to the development of microcracks. The maximum pressure that can be used for solar panel cleaning is 35 bars. You should also try to use soft water for cleaning solar modules.
