A solar system is a system that captures sunlight and converts it into electricity or heat. In the context of solar panels, it usually means photovoltaic (PV) panels that generate electricity from sunlight.
The main types of solar systems in India are: Grid-Tied Systems: Connected to the local electricity grid and can feed excess power back to the grid. Off-Grid Systems: Independent of the grid and rely on battery storage to supply power. Hybrid Systems: Combine grid-tied and off-grid features, using batteries for storage and the grid for backup.
Solar panels capture sunlight and convert it into direct current (DC) electricity. An inverter then converts this DC electricity into alternating current (AC) electricity used to power your home or business.
For a 1kW solar system, you typically need around 8-10 square meters of space. This can vary depending on the type and efficiency of the solar panels.
A 1kW solar system can generate approximately 4-5 kWh (kilowatt-hours) of electricity per day, depending on sunlight availability and weather conditions.
In a grid-tied system without battery storage, your solar system will not work during a power outage to avoid back-feeding electricity into the grid. Off-grid and hybrid systems with batteries can continue to provide power during outages.
The cost of installing a solar system in India typically ranges from ₹40,000 to ₹70,000 per kW, depending on the quality of panels and other system components.
The installation of a solar system usually takes between 7 to 15 days, depending on the size of the system and site conditions.
The solar installation company usually handles all Discom-related work, such as grid connection and approvals, and can assist with applying for government subsidies.
Operational and maintenance costs are generally low. Regular maintenance might include cleaning the panels and checking the system. Annual costs typically range from ₹2,000 to ₹5,000.
While a solar system can significantly reduce your electricity bill, it may not be zero, especially if you have high energy consumption or if your system is not large enough to cover all your needs.
The return on investment for a solar system in India is typically between 5 to 7 years, depending on factors such as system size, energy savings, and incentives.
Opting for a subsidized project can reduce the initial investment. However, the decision may depend on factors like subsidy availability, the project’s feasibility, and long-term benefits.
Subsidies are available for residential and institutional consumers, but not for commercial and industrial users. The availability and amount can vary by state and are subject to government policies. Opting for a subsidized project can reduce the initial investment. However, the decision may depend on factors like subsidy availability, the project’s feasibility, and long-term benefits.
Yes, solar power plants are generally safe. They are designed with safety standards and regulations. Regular maintenance and proper installation are key to ensuring safety.
The capacity required depends on your electricity consumption. A solar consultant can perform an energy audit to determine the appropriate system size based on your usage patterns and available space.
The government provides subsidies ranging from 20% to 40% of the total cost of the solar system for residential users, depending on the size of the system and state policies.
A solar photovoltaic (PV) system is a technology that converts sunlight directly into electricity using solar panels made of semiconductor materials (usually silicon).
