    The main advantage of solar power is that it reduces our dependency on polluting sources of energy and helps us to reduce carbon footprints on the earth. More adoption of solar power can help us mitigating climate change, air pollution and global warming. The main disadvantage of solar power is that it does not produce power at night and thus need energy storage systems to store surplus energy. The intermittency somtimes affects functioning and stablity of the grid. Thus to counter these, in large projects, we need extra investments on energy storage.

    No. There is no free solar scheme run by the government. These are rumours created by fake website. The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) is actually running a subsidized rooftop solar scheme for residential consumers where the consumers can get upto Rs 78,000 subsidies for installting rooftop solar. However, they have to bear the upfront cost on their own at the time of installation. There are other subsidized solar schemes too like PM-KUSUM where farmers get solar pumps with subsidy support.

However, now a large number of solar module makers in India have announced starting solar cell production.

    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 cell manufacturing is inherently more complex than solar module production, which is largely an assembly-based process. The production of solar cells requires significantly higher capital investment at the outset. In India, the establishment of solar cell production facilities also involves navigating additional regulatory hurdles. This is due to the water usage during production and the disposal of effluents. Furthermore, the handling of ingots and wafers involves working with hazardous materials. As a result, apart from the capital requirements, solar cell manufacturing and related backward integration must comply with stricter environmental, pollution control, safety, and waste management regulations at the state level.

    The delay could be primarily at two end-one at the solar vendor end and other at the discom-level end. As per consumers’ feedback, sometimes solar vendors delay the installation of the project due to lack of manpower or availability of raw materials while several times discoms delay the process in inspection of the rooftop system post installation, installation of net-meters, testing of meters and final commissioning of the project. However, several state electricity regulators are now issuing directives to streamline the process.

    The additional surplus solar energy produced in rooftop solar setups in a grid-connected rooftop solar system is given to your electricity distribution company. The total number of surplus units not used by you and sent to the grid is also adjusted in your bill. So for example 100 units of surplus solar energy is not used by you and was sent to the grid, the electricity company while generating your bill will reduce 100 units from your total energy that used from the grid.
