    Several things can lower the amount of electricity your solar system produces. Dust, dirt, and bird droppings on panels (called soiling) can block sunlight, while cloudy or rainy weather naturally reduces how much sun your system gets.

    Several things can lower the amount of electricity your solar system produces. Dust, dirt, and bird droppings on panels (called soiling) can block sunlight, while cloudy or rainy weather naturally reduces how much sun your system gets.

    Even in perfect conditions, you won’t always get the maximum possible output. This is because your inverter, solar panels, and other equipment don’t work at 100% efficiency all the time. Over the years, solar panels also lose a little bit of their power—usually less than 1% per year. So, while your system may be designed for a certain output, real-world factors always bring that number down a bit.

    If you want to increase the solar energy generation in vertical solar installations (solar panels aligned along the walls) in buildings. You can do the following things-

    1. Optimise the orientation of the panels such as using south-, east-, or west-facing facades.
    2. You can also opt for highly efficient solar modules to maximise generation from the same area.
    3. Enhancing the reflectivity of surrounding areas, such as using light-colored pavements or walls, further boosts energy capture.

    Farmers, landowners, or developers interested in setting up solar power plants can participate. The project requires land within a 5 km radius of APDCL’s 33/11 kV substations. Participants need to submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) by May 8, 2025, as per the tender issued by APDCL. The scheme enRead more

    Farmers, landowners, or developers interested in setting up solar power plants can participate. The project requires land within a 5 km radius of APDCL’s 33/11 kV substations. Participants need to submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) by May 8, 2025, as per the tender issued by APDCL. The scheme encourages local farmers to collaborate with solar developers to install decentralized solar plants.

    Now days Government is also very supportive with solar. in Past it used to take 2-3 month to setup as solar system but now it only takes around 20 -25 days or even faster to complete a solar panel setup.

    Till 10 KW setup, it will only take 1-2 days to complete the installation rest all will take for the paperwork, Government formalities and the net metering.

    You can also search for the platform like Solarsation.in for your nearest and qualified solar vendor. This platform also guides you at each step.

    The efficiency of solar inverters plays a crucial role in power conversion. Most modern solar inverters achieve efficiency levels between 95% and 96%, converting a significant portion of the DC power generated by solar panels into usable AC power.

Most modern solar inverters achieve efficiency levels between 95% and 96%, converting a significant portion of the DC power generated by solar panels into usable AC power. For instance, if a solar plant produces 100 units of DC power, only about 95 to 96 units will be converted into AC power due to these efficiency limits.

    Team of Solar Faqs | Answer on October 16, 2024 at 12:24 pm

    Usually solar panels degrade at the rate of 0.5% to 0.8% oer year based on the technology used and the degradation rate. So after 20 years, if the degradation rate is 0.5%, the total effiiency of the solar panel will remain 90% instead of 100%.

    Yes, you can, if you are in any of the 13 states that have notified their Green Energy Open Access rules. Under these new rules that were announced in June, 2022 by the centre, all customers, with requirements as low as 100 kW are eligible to apply for green energy through open access.
