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.

No, you should not sit on solar panels. While panels are rated to be able to carry a certain amount of weight, they are not made for carrying the sitting weight of an adult human. the occasional monkey, birds and hit by hailstones are what panels are designed to weather.

1. Solar Inverter Battery
Your inverter’s endurance depends significantly on its battery. Hence, choosing the right battery matters. Your battery’s capacity is defined as the maximum number of hours for which a battery can power all devices. Accordingly, you should assess your energy needs and the average time for which you will require the solar inverter and make an informed decision that helps you optimize the use of solar power.
2. Safety Certification
This one is another essential consideration. You must check the solar inverter for its level of safety. It is crucial to choose a solar inverter certified for its safety by an independent testing authority before you purchase and use it for your solar venture.
3. Inverter’s VA Rating Range
Check the inverter’s VA rating or VA capacity to determine the solar inverter’s output. The VA rating depends on your consumption of power. Higher power consumption refers to a higher requirement of the inverter’s VA rating.
4. Peak Power Considerations
Solar inverters are usually expected to supply two types of power – peak and typical power. Now, what are peak and typical power?
Peak power is the optimal power a solar inverter can supply for a trivial duration, which could be between a few seconds to around ten to twelve minutes. Some appliances require higher power while starting up than they do to operate under normal circumstances after being powered.
On the other hand, typical power is the usual power that the inverter supplies consistently
after the device receives its power to begin and stabilize.
5. Inverter Brand
It is another critical factor to consider. While it is a no-brainer to choose the most popular and the best solar inverter brand, what matters is whether the brand you select enables you to reap optimal returns. Accordingly, you should choose solar inverter brands that offer the features, efficiency, and proposition that allow you to achieve the energy self-dependence you’ve always endeavored for.

Solar trackers are used for positioning photovoltaic (PV) panels (solar panels) so that they remain perpendicular to the Sun’s rays and positioning space telescopes so that they can determine the Sun’s direction. They can be used on really large commercial rooftops. Not on residential rooftops, as they would not be cost effective.
