  • Solar Panel

  • What is Solar Panel?

    Solar Panels also are known as Photovoltaic Solar Panels are made of silicon cells which convert sunlight into electricity. Two types of Solar panels available in the market: polycrystalline solar panel and monocrystalline solar panel.

  • How does solar panel work?

    Solar panels absorb solar energy (sunlight) throughout the day and convert it into electricity (DC). Most homes and businesses run on alternating current (AC) electricity, so the DC electricity is then passed through an inverter to convert it to usable AC electricity. At that point, you either use the electricity in your house or send it back to the electric grid.

  • Types of Solar Panels?

    Solar Panels are classified as Monocrystalline Solar Panels and Polycrystalline Solar Panels:

    • Monocrystalline Solar Panels:
    • Monocrystalline Solar Panels are made of mono (single) silicon crystal which of extremely high purity. They are more efficient in converting solar energy into electricity per square meter area but is also the most expensive one. Thus the space required for the same amount of wattage is less in monocrystalline PV panel. Monocrystalline solar panels are suitable if you have limited space where you can install the panels or if the price is not an issue to your budget. With Monocrystalline panels you will get the most electricity output per panels used.

    • Polycrystalline Solar Panels:
    • Polycrystalline solar panels are made up of poly (multiple) silicon crystals. Polycrystalline cells contains less silicon which makes the panels bit less efficient, but also less expensive, than monocrystalline solar panels. Since polycrystalline panels are less efficient, you need to install larger number of panels to generate electricity required to meet your consumption needs. Polycrystalline solar panels are the most commonly used type since they offer a good balance between price and efficiency.

  • What are the warranties offered on Solar Panels?

    The Solar Panels is trouble-free option as long as you have chosen the right quality solar panels. Most of manufacturers guarantee smooth solar panels performance over 10yrs.

  • What are the regular maintenance required for solar panels?

  • How does Solar Power System Work?

    The photovoltaic panels or solar panels convert sunlight into current using the photovoltaic effect. When solar panels exposed to sunlight they start generating electricity. This electrical energy can be used instantaneously. If the solar power system installed with appropriate sized battery for energy storage, the generated electricity can be used whenever required.

  • What are the different types of Solar Power Systems?

    Solar Power Systems are classified as On-Grid Solar Power System, off-Grid Solar Power System and Hybrid Solar Power System:

    • Grid-tied or On-Grid Solar Power System
    • A Grid-tied or On-Grid Solar Power System is solar power system that is connected to the home and traditional electricity utility grid. The Grid-tied power system does not include any battery to store power. The solar power generated by On-Grid solar power system can only be use instantaneously by the electrical appliances. If the solar power system generates more power than the appliances consuming, the access power can be sold to utility company under the scheme called net-metering. When the solar power system does not produce sufficient power, the required power drawn from the utility grid.

    • Standalone or Off-Grid Solar Power System
    • Off-Grid Solar Power System is an independent solar power system with a battery storage. It does not connected with the main utility grid. The solar panels are the only source of energy in Off-Grid power system. The energy generated by Off-Grid power system is either utilize by appliances, or stored in battery for future use. The Off-Grid solar power system is the best option for the areas where other power sources are unavailable. Off-Grid power system can be of two type AC and DC-based. The AC-based power system include an inverter that converts the energy stored in battery into AC power, uses by AC appliances. The DC-based power system is cheaper as it doesn’t need an inverter. But DC-based power system can only provide energy to DC appliances.

    • Hybrid Solar Power System
    • A Hybrid Solar Power System also called as grid-hybrid solar power system. It is similar to On-Grid solar power system but also stores energy for later uses. The Hybrid solar power system provides back-up power as it uses storage battery to store energy for future. In case of excess energy production than utilization, the excess solar energy utilized to charge batteries. Hybrid solar power system provides you dual benefits. The back-up power during a power outage and reducing your electricity bills, by reducing your dependence on grid power. A hybrid solar power system also utilizes grid power to charge the batteries, so that you always have the back-up power during power outages.

  • What are the advantages of Solar Power System Installation?

    There are many benefits of installing a Solar Power System from saying goodbye to electricity bills to protect environment. Solar energy helps you reduce electricity bills one of the biggest reason to go solar. Investing in solar power for your home makes great financial sense. You will get more in return.

The solar power system only requires a routine cleaning of solar panels to ensure appropriate energy generation.

  • Which type of solar power system is best Off-grid or On-grid?

    The decision is based on your requirement. Before installing a solar system, you need to decide whether you should opt for solar system with storage battery or without storage battery. Both Off-grid and On-grid solar system have their own benefits. In Hybrid Solar Power System, electricity bill savings depends on grid power consumption. It provides the back-up during power outage. You don’t have to take any approvals from Distribution Company for installing hybrid solar power system. A well-designed solar hybrid system ensures the solar capacity; inverter capacity & the battery storage capacity are optimized to ensure maximum utilization of the energy generated by the solar panels. In Grid-tied solar power system, electricity bill savings depends on the extent of the solar units exported to the grid and you are only charged for the net units consumed from the grid. In case of a grid-tied solar power system, if there is a power cut during sunshine hours, the energy would be un-utilized as the gird-tied inverter shuts off the solar system resulting in a lower return on your investment in the solar panels.

  • Solar Water Heater

  • What is Solar Water Heater?

    A Solar Water Heater is a device which provides hot water for bathing, washing, cleaning etc. using solar energy. It is generally installed at the terrace or where sunlight is available. Sunlight heats water during day time which is stored in an insulated storage water tank for use when required.

  • How does a Solar Water Heater Work?

    Solar water heater is a device used to heat water by trapping sunlight in it. Solar water consists of an insulated box that is painted black from inside. The copper pipes or tubes are fitted in this box in the form of a coil. The copper's pipes painted black from outside. The box is covered with a glass lid to prevent the loss of sunlight or heat due to convection and radiation. The ends of the tubes are connected to the storage tank. The cold water enters the storage tank from the bottom and flows into the tubes. The sun rays fall on the heating system and get trapped inside the box. As a result water inside the tubes starts getting heat up and becomes lighter. The heavier cold water from a storage tank which is at relatively lower temperature flows down into the tubes. And the hot water that is lighter flows into the storage tank. The circulation of water continues. The process by which the water gets heated is called a thermal siphon effect thus we get hot water by trapping solar energy.

  • What are types of Solar Water Heater?

    Solar Water Heaters are classified as Flat Plate Collectors (FPC) and Evacuated Tube Collectors (ETC) Solar Water Heater:

The absorber absorbs the solar radiation and transfers the heat to the flowing water. The FPC solar water heaters have better performance in hot climatic conditions. The FPC type solar water heater can withstand higher pressure. FPC heaters have highest durability. They can last for more than 15 years without maintenance.

    • Evacuated Tube Collectors (ETC) Solar Water Heater:
    • The evacuated tube collector of Evacuated Tube Collectors (ETC) Solar Water Heater is made of double layer borosilicate glass tubes evacuated for providing insulation. The outer wall of the inner tube is coated with selective absorbing material. This helps absorption of solar radiation and transfers the heat to the water which flows through the inner tube. The ETC solar water heaters have better performance in cold climatic conditions. ETC type solar water heater can perform well even in cloudy days. ETC heaters have lower heat loss at night as the vacuum inside the tubes offers better insulation. ETC heaters have highest durability. They can last for more than 5 years without maintenance. Corrosion is not an issue in case of ETC as it is made of glass.

  • What are benefits of installing Solar Water Heater in home?

    Electricity is expensive and is not available due to limited power resources in many areas when required for heating water.
