Bifacial modules produce solar power from both sides of the panel. This is based on something called the ‘albedo’ effect, where a light coloured floor or ground reflects enough light to generate electricity through the reverse side of the bi-facial solar panel. Thus, these panels can generate more power than other panels in the right conditions.
Mono-perc solar panels have a passivated emitter & and rear cell and produce from a single side.
Solar modules are actually closer to an assembly process than manufacturing. All previous levels in the chain, from cells to wafers to ingot and polysilicon, are not made in India, other than a little captive capacity for solar cells with some manufacturers. Most of these are imported from China aRead more
Solar modules are actually closer to an assembly process than manufacturing. All previous levels in the chain, from cells to wafers to ingot and polysilicon, are not made in India, other than a little captive capacity for solar cells with some manufacturers. Most of these are imported from China and are then embedded into a panel in India. Thus, with a capacity of over 60 GW now, in future, all solar modules you see are likely to have been ‘made’ in India.
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 tRead more
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.
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.

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.

Majority of Indian solar firms offer a 25-year warranty on their products. If regular maintenance is done, the product life increases considerably. Within the system, inverter warranty might be 5-8 years, and the installer itself would provide a separate 5 year maintainance and running commitment. ORead more
