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.

That depends on the kind of system you have installed. The most common and prevalent system is a grid connected solar system, with no storage.

That depends on the kind of system you have installed. The most common and prevalent system is a grid connected solar system, with no storage. In this case, your system will not work in case of a power cut or grid failure, as the solar panels are disconnected to the grid That is because your solar system generates energy and sends any excess energy to the grid. This die down in case of power cuts is critical for safety, as back feeding into the grid could potentially cause injury to someone.

There are different solar panels manufactured by several Indian solar companies. You can choose the best panels as per your conveince. However, most of the vendors offer you limited brands out of which you can choose one. Some solar panels like those made by Adani Solar, Tata Solar, Waaree Solar come at a higher price. Besides that there are several reputed solar panel makers like Premier, Goldi. RenewSys, Saatvik, Rayzon and others.

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.

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.

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.
