    Knowing the wind patterns and wind data can help in tailor-made desing of rooftop solar. It is because cyclone prone areas and areas with high wind chances, need to take special measures when it comes to the quality of the mounting structure, alignment of the solar panels, angle of the system to make it strong enough to fight against strong wind.

    Hybrid inverters or any inverters attached to solar systems are installed by professionals who have training and expertise in setting up solar projects. Hybrid inverters give the extra advantage of using solar power from grid-connected solar system even when there is power blackout from the grid. Do not try to do any such installation on your own, otherwise it can expose you to the risk of electrical shocks.

    The most common metric we see in use is typically $/watt or Rs/watt in India. As it says, what that means is you consider the module cost, and divide it by its nameplate capacity to arrive at a number. Thus, a 500 Watt module priced at say, Rs 8000 per module will give you a RS/W cost of Rs 16 per WRead more

    The most common metric we see in use is typically $/watt or Rs/watt in India. As it says, what that means is you consider the module cost, and divide it by its nameplate capacity to arrive at a number. Thus, a 500 Watt module priced at say, Rs 8000 per module will give you a RS/W cost of Rs 16 per Watt. While this measure works for smaller projects, you might want to consider many other factors for larger projects.

    These range from the technology you prefer (Mono PERC or TOCon or even HJT) , to rate of degradation, thermal performance etc. With larger modules in recent years, we have also seen that these are faster and easier to install, although there is an enhanced risk of breakage as well during setup.  Similarly, how these are aligned to other key suppliers like trackers (in case you have opted for them) to even the inverters matters. So make sure to consider all these factors carefully.

    Remember, cost per Watt should be your starting point, no more. Look for credible, third party validated indicators for all other key parameters, before deciding finally.

    Precautions for inverter installation and maintenance:

    1. Before installation, you should first check whether the inverter is damaged during transportation.
    2. When selecting the installation site, it should be ensured that there is no interference from any other power electronic equipment in the surrounding area.
    3. Before making electrical connections, be sure to cover or disconnect the AC and DC side isolator switch with opaque materials. When exposed to sunlight, the PV array will generate dangerous voltages.
    4. All installation operations must be performed by professional technicians only.
    5. The cables used in the photovoltaic system power generation system must be firmly connected, with good insulation and appropriate specifications.
    6. All electrical installations must meet local and national electrical standards.
    7. The inverter can be connected to the grid only after obtaining the permission of the local power department and all electrical connections are completed by professional technicians.
    8. Before performing any maintenance work, first disconnect the electrical connection between the inverter and the grid, and then disconnect the DC side electrical connection.
    9. Wait at least 5 minutes until the internal components are discharged before performing maintenance work.
    10. Any fault that affects the safety performance of the inverter must be eliminated immediately before the inverter can be turned on again.
    11. Avoid unnecessary board contact.
    12. Observe the static protection code and wear an anti-static wrist strap.
    13. Pay attention to and follow the warning signs on the product.
    14. Visually inspect the equipment for damage or other dangerous conditions before operation.
    15. Pay attention to the hot surface of the inverter. For example, a heat sink of a power semiconductor or the like maintains a relatively high temperature for a period of time after the inverter is powered off.
    16. Use proper safety equipments while working on installation and maintenance. Operations should be done by an experienced technician only.

    Inverter installation location requirements

    1. Do not install the inverter in direct sunlight. Failure to do so may result in additional internal temperature of the inverter, which will derate the inverter to protect internal components. Even the temperature is too high, causing the inverter temperature to malfunction.
    2. The installation site should be strong enough to support the weight of the inverter for a long time.
    3. The ambient temperature of the selected installation site is -25 °C ~ 50 °C, and the installation environment is clean.
    4. The ambient humidity of the selected installation site is not more than 95%, and there is no condensation.
    5. There should be enough clearance in front of the inverter to make it easy to observe the data and repair.
    6. Try to install it away from the living of the residents, and some noise will be generated during the operation.
    7, the installation place to ensure that it will not shake.
