A solar power system converts sunlight into electricity using solar panels, inverters, and other components.

Solar panels absorb sunlight and convert it into DC electricity, which is then converted to AC electricity using an inverter.

•  On-grid (connected to the utility grid)
• Off-grid (independent with battery storage)
• Hybrid (combination of on-grid and battery backup)

Yes, but efficiency is reduced since solar panels rely on sunlight to generate power.

No, but you can use battery storage or rely on the grid for power at night.

On average, 100 sq. ft. is needed per 1 kW of solar panels.

A typical residential system takes 2-5 days for installation.

Most solar panels last 25-30 years, with efficiency gradually decreasing over time.

Cleaning every 3-6 months is recommended to remove dust and dirt.

Yes, high-quality panels are designed to endure heavy rain, wind, and heat.

The cost varies, but a 3 kW system costs around ₹1.3-2 lakhs after subsidies.

A 5 kW system can reduce electricity bills by up to ₹6,000-₹8,000 per month.

Yes, under PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana, subsidies are available for residential installations.

Payback periods range from 4 to 7 years depending on electricity usage.

Yes, through net metering, you can sell surplus electricity and earn credits.

On-grid systems don't require batteries, but off-grid and hybrid systems do for backup power.

Lithium-ion batteries last 8-15 years, while lead-acid batteries last 3-5 years.

Yes, a battery backup system can supply power during outages.

Most panels have 15-22% efficiency, with premium models reaching higher percentages.

Usually, a 25-year performance warranty and a 12-year product warranty.

If electricity usage increases, you may need to add more panels or upgrade components.

Yes, on-grid systems require 25-year performance warranty and a 12-year product warranty.

Solar products have 12% GST, but government subsidies reduce costs.

Yes, Shifting Possible. But relocation costs and permissions need to be considered.
