    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%.

    Solar module production is more of an assemly line where different components of a solar module are assembled. For example-solar cells (mostly imported from China) are packed and connected in arrays, encapculants are used, solar glasses are used on the top and back to prevent from direct damage from water, cleaning and other threats. Silver pastes are also used in these modules. On the other hand, Alumunium frames are also used at the corners to make it easy to install and transport to give an additional sturdy support.

    Yes, Mounted solar panels are available in the market and are being used widely. BIPV (Building Integrated PV) for instance refers to panels that are used as substitutes for windows. Similarly, solar panels are being used on balcony’s now, besides for fencing as a solar fence. These options, while not optimum in terms of generation, do help to provide you with a solar energy source in well irradiated areas.

    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.

    The main benefit of solar compared to using coal or other polluting sources is the reduced Green House Gas emissions, less effect on the local water bodies, less affect on the coal mining etc. Extracting energy from sunlight reduces several such harmful effects which are otherwise involved when we produce energy from fossil fuels like coal, oil and gas. Many of these fossil fuels are exhaustible sources of energy and also their use leads to air pollution and increased global warming.

    The overall rooftop solar systems in India had been limited. However with the launch of PM Surya Ghar scheme with more capacities and easier application process, the residential rooftop solar system is likely to increase.

    Solar panels work at full efficiency at around 25˚C. So even in winter they work fine. Even at lower temperatures, they typically perform well if sunshine is good. Colder regions, with their lesser issues of dust are also beneficial for solar generation. Remember, solar energy is generated by lightRead more

    Solar panels work at full efficiency at around 25˚C. So even in winter they work fine. Even at lower temperatures, they typically perform well if sunshine is good. Colder regions, with their lesser issues of dust are also beneficial for solar generation. Remember, solar energy is generated by light falling on solar panels, not by heat. So really hot temperatures offer no benefit to users.

    Partially true as majority of the solar module makers are based in Gujarat, especially Surat. However, several solar panel factories are now spread on Greater Noida, Ambala, Uttarakhand and even Hyderabad.

The outer surface of solar panels are made up of solar glass which cannot withstand more than its threshold pressure. While these glasses are made to withstand high pressure rain and other weather related threats but it cannot withstand other external threats.
