    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.

    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.

    While  the idea might seem good, as more exposure to direct sunrays all day means more energy, you will not find trackers in the market designed for terrace use. Plus, the extra cost, even if you found one or even tried to customise one, would not be worth it possibly.

Check product quality, certifications, and adherence to standards. All domestic solar plants today meet DCR (Domestic Content Requirements) standards. Prioritize prompt after-sales service for smooth operation. Compare prices, but prioritize quality over cost alone.

    When considering solar installation, factors such as house location and roof angle, energy needs, the reputation of the installer, the company warranty and services, system durability, estimated installation time, and adherence to local regulations should be taken into account.

What is the ROI of solar panels over its lifetime?

    Generally, rooftop solar offers an ROI of over at least 20% in most markets today. Hence, it gives a payback period of about 4-5 years. Even without any subsidy or incentives, chances are, it will pay back your investment in 7 years or less with good maintenance and a net metering regime.
