    No. There is no free solar scheme run by the government. These are rumours created by fake website. The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) is actually running a subsidized rooftop solar scheme for residential consumers where the consumers can get upto Rs 78,000 subsidies for installting rooftop solar. However, they have to bear the upfront cost on their own at the time of installation. There are other subsidized solar schemes too like PM-KUSUM where farmers get solar pumps with subsidy support.

    Solar structures are usually the strucutures on which the solar systems rest. So it is very important to ensure that they are high quality. It is because a low quality and low width structures cannot withstand high wind speeds and may even break. So when you are investing for a rooftop solar, you neRead more

    Solar structures are usually the strucutures on which the solar systems rest. So it is very important to ensure that they are high quality. It is because a low quality and low width structures cannot withstand high wind speeds and may even break. So when you are investing for a rooftop solar, you need to ask your vendors for a quality and strong solar structures to make your whole system more stiff and strong to fight against strong winds, rains and other challenges.

    Usually in a residential rooftop project, a 3 Kw rooftop solar can ideally generate upto 10-12 units per day. The daily generations are usually dependent on the local weather.

    Usually in a residential rooftop project, a 3 Kw rooftop solar can ideally generate upto 10-12 units per day. The daily generations are usually dependent on the local weather. Usually when there is good sunlight throughout the day, you can get the best generation (if your solar panels are clean). During clouds, rains, the generations reduces. So a system which can generate around 12 Kw per day can also generate 5 kw or 7 Kw during clouds/rains. The generation also varies season to season, depending on the quality of sunlight and availaility of sunlight.

In my area, there is regular power cuts, how can I maximise rooftop solar output?

    Deputy Editor at Saur Energy International | Answer on September 3, 2024 at 11:42 am

    In areas where there are regular power cuts and you have a grid-connected solar rooftop, you will not be able to use solar once power is not supplied by the grid in a conventional setup. So the panels will be producing power but won't be able to use it. In such cases, you need to use hybrid inverterRead more

    In areas where there are regular power cuts and you have a grid-connected solar rooftop, you will not be able to use solar once power is not supplied by the grid in a conventional setup. So the panels will be producing power but won’t be able to use it. In such cases, you need to use hybrid inverters with battery storage. In this system, one can use solar power even duiring blackouts.

    The role of a solar inverter is to convert the solar power (generated in DC) to AC. In households, the electrical appliances use AC power.

    The role of a solar inverter is to convert the solar power (generated in DC) to AC. In households, the electrical appliances use AC power. So the generating item in a solar system is not inverter but the solar modules. However, the proper running of inverters is also important. There are many errors like lack of grid power, excess grid voltage and others which can halt its operations. In most inverters, these errors are shown with a code which depict the particular problems with the inverter. Contact your solar project vendor or inverter firm for any clarification or repair if needed.

How to calculate the number of solar panels required for an inverter?

  • Solar Faqs Team

    Team of Solar Faqs | Answer on September 2, 2024 at 11:44 am

    It is not the number of solar panels but the total power (in Kwp) that the solar panels can produce. Usually your inverter should align with the expected maximum power the solar modules can produce. So normally if you have a 3 kW of rooftop solar, you will need a 3 kw of solar inverter.
