The main components include solar panels (modules), inverters, mounting structures, and a solar monitoring system. Panels capture sunlight, inverters convert the generated DC electricity to AC, mounting structures support the panels, and monitoring systems track energy production.

Solar panels can be installed on various roof types, including RCC slab, metal, tile, and flat roofs. The suitability depends on factors such as roof orientation, structure, and shading.

– On-grid solar systems use common solar inverters and are connected to the public electricity grid. Any excess solar power that you generate is exported to the electricity grid and one usually get paid a feed-in-tariff or credits for the energy you export. The policy for getting credits for energy exported to the credit is termed as “Net-Metering Policy” and is available currently in most states of India. Off-grid solar systems are not connected to the electricity grid and therefore requires battery storage. Hybrid solar systems combines solar and battery storage in one and are now available in many different forms and configurations. This means being able to store solar energy that is generated during the day and using it at night. When the stored energy is depleted, the grid is there as backup, allowing consumers to have the best of both worlds.

The production level of a solar plant depends on multiple factors like radiation levels, amount of sunlight received, plant design and quality of components. On an average, 1 kW solar plant produces 4 units of electricity per day.

On average, a standard residential solar panel system requires approximately 100 Sq.ft (9 Sq.m) of roof space for every kilowatt (kW) of installed capacity.

Rooftop solar systems have relatively very low maintenance costs compared to their benefits. There are some maintenance tasks involved, the costs are generally low, and the benefits of energy savings and environmental impact far outweigh them. Additionally, Truwatt Solar provide first 2-Year Professional Maintenance Free.

Yes, periodic inspections by a qualified technician are recommended. They can identify potential issues such as loose connections, faulty wiring, or other technical problems that might affect the system's performance.

Many solar systems come with monitoring software that allows you to track energy production. Regularly check these metrics. If you notice a significant drop in production, contact your installer or a technician for further investigation.

Generally it’s advisable to leave more complex tasks to professionals. Technical issues should be addressed by a qualified professional to ensure safety and system efficiency.

The cost of a solar energy system can vary based on several factors, including the size of the system, the type of equipment /modules used, and your location.

Yes, financing options are available for solar installations. Many banks and financial institutions offer loans specifically for solar projects. These loans often come with attractive interest rates and flexible repayment terms.
