    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.

    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.

    Team of Solar Faqs | Answer on July 9, 2024 at 10:09 am

    It depends on the total capacity of solar panels and your electricity meter capacity. In most states the maximum capacity of rooftop solar a person can install in upto the total capacity of your power connection (meter). As per the MNRE benchmark price, the total cost for a 3Kw system is Rs 1.45 lakRead more

    It depends on the total capacity of solar panels and your electricity meter capacity. In most states the maximum capacity of rooftop solar a person can install in upto the total capacity of your power connection (meter). As per the MNRE benchmark price, the total cost for a 3Kw system is Rs 1.45 lakh. However, the final cost of the project is mutually decided by the consumer and solar vendor. So despite the MNRE benchmark price which is not mandatory, the solar project vendors install a 3 Kw system often at higher price ranging from Rs 1.5 lakh to Rs 3 lakh based on the technology, reputation of the vendor, services it is providing and other parameters.

    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.

How do I calculate my solar bill for my house?

  • Manish Kumar
    Manish Kumar
    Deputy Editor at Saur Energy International | Answer on May 23, 2024 at 3:19 pm

    Solar bill can be calculated using the daily electricity usage for the house minus the electricity generated by the solar panels. The result is multiplied by the electricity rates in your area. A negative result means that you have energy credit.

    To calculate your solar ROI, first, subtract what you spent initially from how much you'll save over the lifetime of your solar system. Then, divide this by your initial investment, and multiply by 100 to get the percentage. Keep in mind that grid power costs might continue to rise, enhancing your RRead more
