    The structure holds your entire solar system together. Poor-quality mounting structures can collapse in high winds or storms, risking lives and damaging property—even if your solar panels and inverters are top-grade.

    Civil codes determine safe structural loads and wind resistance. Your system should be designed using local wind speed data and civil norms to ensure safety and durability.

    While  the idea might seem good, as more exposure to direct sunrays all day means more energy, you will not find trackers in the market designed for terrace use. Plus, the extra cost, even if you found one or even tried to customise one, would not be worth it possibly.

    Look for cyclone-proof, non-welded structures made from hot-dip galvanized or marine-grade aluminum. Nut-and-bolt designs are safer, more durable, and easier to maintain than welded ones.

    A rooftop solar system comprises of solar panels, inverters, net-meters, solar structures, earthing wires, connecting wires, lightening arresters and others. These are mandatory parts needed in the system. So it is not the solar panel alone but a whole range of other items too that make the whole syRead more

    Solar trackers are used for positioning photovoltaic (PV) panels (solar panels) so that they remain perpendicular to the Sun’s rays and positioning space telescopes so that they can determine the Sun’s direction. They can be used on really large commercial rooftops. Not on residential rooftops, as they would not be cost effective.

    Team of Solar Faqs | Answer on May 22, 2024 at 5:55 pm

    An average Indian house consumes around 900 kWh per month. A solar panel which generates 2kW can supply upwards of 8 kWh per day.

    In net metering the units of electricity generated are deducted from electricity consumed. Any excess consumption payable, or generation carried forward. It differs from Gross metering which has a fixed feed-in tariff rate for power produced and a retail rate for power used. Thus, net metering is usually more beneficial for a solar user. In India, most net metering across states comes with a limit of upto 1 MW.
