  1. Asked: July 9, 2025In: Solar Module

    Why do some rooftop solar systems blow away in storms?

    Solar Faqs Team
    Solar Faqs Team
    Team of Solar Faqs | Answer on July 9, 2025 at 5:21 pm

    This usually happens due to: Use of substandard or uncertified mounting structures Lack of audits post-installation Low-cost shortcuts taken by untrained installers

    Team of Solar Faqs | Answer on July 8, 2025 at 5:17 pm

    Choose a nationally registered or certified company. Ask about their design standards, safety protocols, post-installation audits, and structure warranty.

  3. Asked: July 7, 2025In: Solar Structure

    What are civil codes and why do they matter in solar design?

    Solar Faqs Team
    Solar Faqs Team
    Team of Solar Faqs | Answer on July 7, 2025 at 6:37 pm

    Civil codes determine safe structural loads and wind resistance. Your system should be designed using local wind speed data and civil norms to ensure safety and durability.

  4. Asked: July 4, 2025In: Solar Module

    How do I ensure my rooftop system is safe during the monsoon?

    Solar Faqs Team
    Solar Faqs Team
    Team of Solar Faqs | Answer on July 4, 2025 at 5:22 pm

    Get pre-monsoon inspections done every year. These should include checking: Mounting bolts for looseness Waterproofing around roof penetrations Electrical connections for corrosion Proper drainage and grounding

  5. Asked: July 3, 2025In: Solar Module

    What wind speed should a solar mounting system withstand?

    Solar Faqs Team
    Solar Faqs Team
    Team of Solar Faqs | Answer on July 3, 2025 at 3:43 pm

    Ask if your structure is designed to withstand wind speeds of at least 150 kmph, especially in high-risk areas like North India.

  6. Asked: July 2, 2025In: Solar Structure

    What kind of structure should I ask for from my installer?

    Solar Faqs Team
    Solar Faqs Team
    Team of Solar Faqs | Answer on July 2, 2025 at 5:28 pm

    Look for cyclone-proof, non-welded structures made from hot-dip galvanized or marine-grade aluminum. Nut-and-bolt designs are safer, more durable, and easier to maintain than welded ones.

  7. Asked: July 1, 2025In: Solar Module

    Do mounting structures have the same safety standards as solar panels and inverters?

    Solar Faqs Team
    Solar Faqs Team
    Team of Solar Faqs | Answer on July 1, 2025 at 6:28 pm

    No. While panels and inverters must meet strict certification standards, mounting structures currently lack comprehensive mandatory norms or certifications in India.

  8. Asked: June 30, 2025In: Solar Structure

    Why is the quality of solar structure so important?

    Solar Faqs Team
    Solar Faqs Team
    Team of Solar Faqs | Answer on June 30, 2025 at 5:37 pm

    The structure holds your entire solar system together. Poor-quality mounting structures can collapse in high winds or storms, risking lives and damaging property—even if your solar panels and inverters are top-grade.

  9. Asked: June 26, 2025In: Solar Module

    Can a 3kw rooftop system’s generation can generate differently the panels technology is different?

    Solar Faqs Team

    Team of Solar Faqs | Answer on June 26, 2025 at 5:55 pm

    Yes. The solar panel technology namely-polycrystalline, mono-PERC and TOPCon can produce different quantum of power per day due to improved quality despite having the same wattages. So pick the latest technology to ensure the peak generation from your rooftop system. Out of all these, TOPCon produceRead more

    Most inverter makers allow real-time monitoring of rooftop solar performance through their authorised mobile app. For this the inverter needs to be connected either with a wifi or through a GSM system. This empowers the users to track every day generation, monthly and yearly generation, average savings, carbon dioxide emissions reduced among others. This also alerts the users in case any malfunction is reported on the system through the mobile even if the person is not there near the project site.
