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.

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 usRead more
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.

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.

For example if your meter has a capacity of 3 KW, you are allowed to install rooftop solar only upto 3 Kw. In case you want to install a 4 KW rooftop solar, you first need to increase your electricity meter capacity upto 4 KW before applying for rooftop solar.

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.
