    No. The Approved List of Models and Manufacturers (ALMM) for solar cells, issued by MNRE, does not fully reflect the entire Indian solar cell manufacturing landscape. The list covers only those facilities that have applied for inclusion and undergone MNRE inspections. As a result, newly operational factories or manufacturers that have not applied for verification may be missing. For instance, in the first ALMM list for solar cells, several notable manufacturers were absent due to such procedural gaps.

    Currently, in India, two types of modules are used in solar projects: DCR (Domestic Content Requirement) modules and non-DCR modules. As per government mandates, most government-backed projects are required to use DCR modules. DCR modules are those manufactured using solar cells produced domesticallRead more

    Currently, in India, two types of modules are used in solar projects: DCR (Domestic Content Requirement) modules and non-DCR modules. As per government mandates, most government-backed projects are required to use DCR modules.

    DCR modules are those manufactured using solar cells produced domestically. This means that any solar module made using solar cells manufactured within India qualifies as a DCR module.

    Team of Solar Faqs | Answer on October 16, 2025 at 3:44 pm

    For hybrid rooftop solar connections, both lithium-ion and lead-acid batteries are available. Lead-acid batteries come at a lower price than their lithium counterparts. However, lead-acid batteries have a shorter lifespan and typically come with lower warranty periods compared to lithium-ion batteriRead more

    For hybrid rooftop solar connections, both lithium-ion and lead-acid batteries are available. Lead-acid batteries come at a lower price than their lithium counterparts. However, lead-acid batteries have a shorter lifespan and typically come with lower warranty periods compared to lithium-ion batteries. In India, due to their lower cost, lead-acid batteries remain in demand.

    While solar panels have a 25-year warranty, poor structures can fail within 5–7 years. A quality structure should ideally match the panel’s lifespan.

    This usually happens due to: Use of substandard or uncertified mounting structures Lack of audits post-installation Low-cost shortcuts taken by untrained installers

    Choose a nationally registered or certified company. Ask about their design standards, safety protocols, post-installation audits, and structure warranty.

    Team of Solar Faqs | Answer on July 7, 2025 at 6:37 pm

    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.

    Get pre-monsoon inspections done every year. These should include checking: Mounting bolts for looseness Waterproofing around roof penetrations Electrical connections for corrosion Proper drainage and grounding

    Ask if your structure is designed to withstand wind speeds of at least 150 kmph, especially in high-risk areas like North India.
