    If you want to undertake rooftop solar business, you need to register with the discom (electricity distribution company) where you want to operate. As per the PM Surya Ghar scheme norms, only the registered solar vendors can undertake residential rooftop solar installations. The consumers can get subsidies for rooftop solar projects under the PM Surya Ghar scheme only if they get their installations done by registered vendors only. The National Rooftop Portal maintains a list of all the registered solar vendors who are undertaking these installations. For getting registered with the local discom, these companies also need to pay annual fees to them to get their registrations done.

    The U.S. has imposed a 27% tariff on Indian solar module imports, potentially reducing their competitiveness in the American market. This could lead to decreased export volumes and revenue for Indian manufacturers. For more details https://www.saurenergy.com/solar-energy-news/trump-tariffs-and-impacRead more

    Yes. You can use non-abrasive soft clothes or duster to clean the solar panels to remove upper layer dust. Try to do it in an interval of 5-7 days, based on the dust levels to avoid unecessary wearing chances. You can use water for clearning twice a month to remove hard to remove layers of dust withRead more

Try to do it in an interval of 5-7 days, based on the dust levels to avoid unecessary wearing chances. You can use water for clearning twice a month to remove hard to remove layers of dust with the help of soft-bristle brushes. Keep it mind not to use high pressure water.

What Are Micro-inverters? Are they more efficient than other inverters? If yes, why don’t more people use them?

    Answer on April 9, 2024 at 5:56 am

    Microinverters are more efficient than other inverters because they can harvest 5–20% more energy than string systems, and the efficiency of one panel doesn't affect the others.

    Wind turbines while having a higher footprint than solar panels, also harness more energy. The efficiency for wind turbines is around 50% compared to solar panels which are around 20%.
