    No, you should not sit on solar panels. While panels are rated to be able to carry a certain amount of weight, they are not made for carrying the sitting weight of an adult human. the occasional monkey, birds and hit by hailstones are what panels are designed to weather.

    Yes, solar panels will continue to work even when dirty, although at a degraded performance level. We have tracked output drops of over 15-20% in really dirty panels versus panels cleaned a day earlier.

    Yes, solar panels will continue to work even when dirty, although at a degraded performance level. We have tracked output drops of over 15-20% in really dirty panels versus panels cleaned a day earlier. So if you are in an area prone to dusty weather, then cleaning your panels once a fortnite at least is advisable. Large, utility scale plants of course require much more regular maintenance.

    ALMM stands for the Approved List of Module Manufacturers. It is a list released by India’s Ministry of New And Renewable Energy (MNRE), and lists all the manufacturers whose modules are approved for use in solar projects in India.

    Following a recent notification on March 27, the MNRE has made it clear that only ALMM approved modules can be used in all government backed projects, and even projects in Open Access and Rooftop solar. That means you could potentially use foreign modules (after paying a 40% customs/import duty), only in off grid solar projects that are not subsidised in any way, if at all.

    For more coverage of ALMM and manufacturers there, do refer to SaurEnergy.com.

Do same kind of solar panels cost differently based on the brand name?

    Yes,. This is a common practice in India. Even for the same technology—such as 540 Wp mono-PERC solar modules—different companies offer varying prices. Premium brands often charge higher rates due to their strong market reputation, extensive domestic and global certifications, and other factors.

    Better to go with white paint to increase albedo sensitivity, which will increase the yield.

    One of the benefits of using solar panels for power generation is that unlike thermal energy, it does not emit green house gases during electricity generation. However, a latest study hinted a minor rise in local temperatures due to the use of inefficient solar panels.
