Solar energy is generated by converting sunlight into electricity using solar panels. These panels consist of photovoltaic cells that capture sunlight and convert it into usable electricity.
The cost of a solar panel system varies depending on factors like system size, quality of components, and installation complexity. On average, a residential solar system can cost between Rs10,000 to Rs30,000 before incentives.
Your energy consumption, available roof space, sunlight exposure, and budget are key factors in determining the size of the solar panel system required for your needs.
Switching to solar energy can lead to reduced electricity bills, decreased carbon footprint, energy independence, increased home value, and access to financial incentives and tax credits.
The installation process typically takes between one to three days for residential systems, depending on system size and complexity.
General Questions
Solar panels require minimal maintenance, usually limited to occasional cleaning to remove dirt and debris that may reduce efficiency. Inspections by professionals may also be recommended periodically.
Permit requirements vary by location. Generally, you may need permits from your local building department and approval from your homeowners’ association, if applicable.
While solar panels are most effective in direct sunlight, they can still generate electricity on cloudy or rainy days, albeit at reduced efficiency.
