    One way to access your demand is to find out the average consumption of your household in a year.

    One way to access your demand is to find out the average consumption of your household in a year. This could be done by adding all the units your consumed monthly and dividing the final amount with 12. This will give uyour averrage annualy consumption. You have to compare the average monthly productionn of 1 KW of a solar panel and find out how much capacitty you may require to fulfil your monthly power units with solar. Solar installers typically assess energy consumption patterns and available roof space to recommend an appropriate system size. Factors such as budget and future energy needs also play a role in determining the system size.

    Yes. Most of the inverters are smart enough to prompt the consumers about potential hazars. For example in case of high grid voltage, earthing issues and others, the rootop solar inverters indicate the type of problem the system is facing.

For example in case of high grid voltage, earthing issues and others, the rootop solar inverters indicate the type of problem the system is facing. In many cases ike high grid voltage of earhting issues, the sytem does not allow the solar generation unless the problems like safety issues are taken care of.

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.

    While utility scale solar plants are maintained on a fortnightly basis, frequency of maintenance for rooftop solar panels is at least 3-6 times a year. Though, it is advisable to check your solar companies manual for panel specific maintenance care as well. In many parts of India, dusty environments might necessitate monthly module cleanings as well.

    The solar panel maintenance cost is influenced by the brand and kind of solar panels installed (monocrystalline vs. polycrystalline), as well as the installation method (shed mounted, ground mounted, RCC mounted). Access is obviously critical. Costs should be low enough to be recoverable from the increased productivity of your plant due to regular maintainance.

    Deputy Editor at Saur Energy International | Answer on June 12, 2024 at 12:04 pm

    Solar systems generally require minimal maintenance, primarily consisting of periodic cleaning of solar panels and inspection of components for any signs of wear or damage. Most reputable installers offer maintenance packages for hassle-free upkeep.

    Team of Solar Faqs | Answer on May 5, 2025 at 5:32 pm

    The primary challenge isn’t the smart meters themselves but the lack of robust supporting infrastructure, such as reliable communication networks and data management systems, which are critical for effective smart meter deployment and operation.

    Smart meters rely on real-time data transmission to monitor energy usage and enable features like prepaid billing. Without stable communication networks, data transfer can fail, hindering the meters' functionality and benefits.
