    No. Stepping on solar panels, walking over it is not advisable. It leads to pressure on these solar panels, exposing it to the threat of developing micro cracks. The outer surface of solar panels are made up of solar glass which cannot withstand more than its threshold pressure. While these glassesRead more

    No. Stepping on solar panels, walking over it is not advisable. It leads to pressure on these solar panels, exposing it to the threat of developing micro cracks. The outer surface of solar panels are made up of solar glass which cannot withstand more than its threshold pressure. While these glasses are made to withstand high pressure rain and other weather related threats but it cannot withstand other external threats.

    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.

    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.

Around 30 Indian solar companies have announced setting up or expanding solar cell lines. If all announcements come true, India will have around 30 companies making solar cells by the end of 2027. The total production capacity from all these 30 companies is likely to touch 110 GW by the end of 2027.

    The main benefit of solar compared to using coal or other polluting sources is the reduced Green House Gas emissions, less effect on the local water bodies, less affect on the coal mining etc. Extracting energy from sunlight reduces several such harmful effects which are otherwise involved when we produce energy from fossil fuels like coal, oil and gas. Many of these fossil fuels are exhaustible sources of energy and also their use leads to air pollution and increased global warming.
