FAQ
  1. What are the benefits of using PV solar systems?
    By utilizing PV solar cells, home or business owners are able to generate electricity from sunlight, saving money and minimizing our carbon footprint on this planet hence doing their bit to saving the planet. This solar generated energy is used to offset or replace power that would normally be purchased from the utility.
  2. What is a grid-tied solar system?
    Most of the systems installed in the Urban areas are Grid Tie system, As the name suggests, with the help of an Inverter the electric load for the Owner’s premises is shared between the Solar PV system and the Grid. Power from the Grid is taken only if the power consumption for the house exceeds the PV system capacity.
  3. What is an off-grid solar system?
    An off-grid solar energy system is where there is no connection to the utility company power grid. This type of installation requires a charge-controller, a bank of batteries and in most cases an inverter, so that electric power requirements can be met at night or during cloudy conditions
  4. How much roof space does a PV system need?
    A typical solar panel of 200Wp will measure about 17 square feet. Depending on installation factors, the required square footage of roof space will be somewhat larger than simply the area of the panels. Based on your information, once our engineering department has determined the required angle, shading factors, etc. we can give you a more accurate number.
  5. How do I decide how large my PV solar system should be?
    Typically the best return on investment is when you target the average power in watts used during the month with the lowest electric bill.
  6. Are the solar PV panels fragile?
    Solar PV panels are very robust and can withstand the normal stresses subjected by nature.
  7. Can it be installed any where?
    It can be installed on: Roof tops, Building terraces, Open grounds, balconies facing south. There should be no shadowing.
  8. How much subsidy does the Government offer for a Solar PV plant for residential and Commercial buildings?
    The government offers: For residential places: 30% subsidy on the benchmark cost. For commercial (income generating) buildings: No subsidy.
