Monocrystalline panels (Mono-PERC) are the best for home use. However, advanced technologies like TOPCon has come emerged as the new choice which offers higher efficiencies but there are selected companies offering this in India.

Solar inverters convert DC power from solar into AC power which can be used or stored. They can also be tied to the grid to get energy credits. Regular inverters provide conversion from DC to AC and act as a battery backup in case the grid stops sending energy.

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%.

This might be a little surprising, but solar generation doesn;t have much to do with how hot the weather is. Yes, summer days when it's not cloudy are a great time to see solar kick in strongly,. but extreme heat is not good for generation as well.

This might be a little surprising, but solar generation doesn;t have much to do with how hot the weather is. Yes, summer days when it’s not cloudy are a great time to see solar kick in strongly,. but extreme heat is not good for generation as well.
This is because solar panels generate electricity thanks to the flow of electrons that are stimulated by light falling on the cell. Most panels available today are tested for optimum operations between 15 to 35 or even 40 degrees centigrade.
When temperatures spike, these electrons can bounce around too much and too fast, reducing voltage, or the amount of electricity generated.
Thus, for every rise in temperature beyond 38 degrees or so, efficiency can come down by 0.5%. At 45 degrees, you could be looking at a 3-4% drop in efficiency therefore.
Excessive heat can even lead to malfunctions of other parts in the system.
The final cost of your solar system will depend on many factors like location (state), installer, choice of input materials. But a benchmark will be between Rs 50,000 and Rs 60,000 per KW.

How many kW is required for a house?
An average Indian house consumes around 900 kWh per month. A solar panel which generates 2kW can supply upwards of 8 kWh per day.
