    If you want to increase the solar energy generation in vertical solar installations (solar panels aligned along the walls) in buildings. You can do the following things-

    1. Optimise the orientation of the panels such as using south-, east-, or west-facing facades.
    2. You can also opt for highly efficient solar modules to maximise generation from the same area.
    3. Enhancing the reflectivity of surrounding areas, such as using light-colored pavements or walls, further boosts energy capture.

    String inverters are electrical devices that convert the direct current (DC) generated by solar panels into alternating current (AC). They are usually installed in a string formation where multiple solar panels are connected in series to form a single circuit. They differ from central inverters in terms of capacity as central inverters are designed to handle large amounts of power at a fixed frequency.

How do I calculate my solar bill for my house?

    Deputy Editor at Saur Energy International | Answer on May 23, 2024 at 3:19 pm

    Solar bill can be calculated using the daily electricity usage for the house minus the electricity generated by the solar panels. The result is multiplied by the electricity rates in your area. A negative result means that you have energy credit.

    Size of solar inverter dependent on the equipments that are intended to be used while utility supply is down. Total load on inverter is equal to the sum of all nameplate rating of such equipments. While sizing, some equipment like air conditioner and refrigerators should be sized at 2/3 times normal rating to account for the high inrush current drawn by these equipments while starting. An additional 25 -30 % can be considered as buffer for future expansion.

    Once the total wattage of devices are calculated, the next step is to determine the type and number of batteries required to support your inverter. The battery capacity, measured in ampere-hours (Ah), is crucial for ensuring your system can store enough energy to meet your needs, especially during power outages or when solar input is unavailable.

    Some of the common faults include excess grid voltage which disrupts the normal functioning of the inverters. This needs some changes in the settings of the inverters. Some other issues also include problems in the display of the inverters.

    Usually a solar vendor for rooftop solar project gives you a package of services together. This includes solar panels, inverters, wires, wiring and solar structures. Solar structures are most import after panels and inverters as it gives the base support on which the system lie. If you have certain preferences in terms of the brand, the built and others, you can ask your vendor to supply those. However, while choosing solar structures you need to also know about the different technologies available, the need for wider structures in case your solar system demand such. There are certain strucutres with technologies like dip galvanised iron which ensures rustling free feature.
