FAQ’s
The cost of a solar PV rooftop setup is determined by a variety of factors, including the connected load, the type and quality of components utilized in the system, the total available roof area, and so on. A grid-connected solar PV system with Grade A manufacturer's components costs approximately Rs. 1 lakh per KW, while a battery-connected system costs approximately Rs. 1.25 lakh per KW.
If the electricity in the grid goes off, a conventional Solar PV System is designed to shut down. This is done to prevent any maintenance staff from becoming electrocuted as a result of the power provided to the grid by the Solar PV System. However, systems can be constructed to shift electricity from the grid to a battery backup system in the event of a power outage on the grid.
Yes, there are various schemes from the Central and State Governments of India that offer refunds to owners in order to promote the usage of Solar Power in India. Accelerated Depreciation is a provision in the Income Tax Act that allows a corporation to save the tax value on a rooftop PV system, lowering its net cost. MNRE (Ministry of New and Renewable Energy) additionally provides 15% capital expenditure subsidies to residential homes and 30% to educational, health, and non-governmental organisations (NGOs) as well as those wishing to install a rooftop solar PV system. Aside from that, the State Government offers a variety of incentives and rebates that are unique to each state.
A solar PV system is a static system, which means it does not have any rotating or moving parts. As a result, it is not susceptible to damage produced by friction between moving parts or any other mechanical event that causes harm to a generator or motor. A Solar PV System can easily last 20 to 25 years and can even work for a longer period if properly maintained.
An off-grid rooftop kit generates enough electricity to charge the battery, which is then used as a backup throughout the night. In an on-grid system, the electricity generated is transferred to the main grid, and power is drawn from the grid for consumption at night.
A Solar PV System takes very little upkeep from the owner and is very simple to maintain. Regular cleaning of the Solar Arrays is required to guarantee that the system operates at peak efficiency, and periodic examinations should be performed to verify that there is no shade over the Solar Array due to any blockage. Except for the Solar Arrays, all system components must be kept in a shaded area. These minor changes can result in a healthier and longer-lasting Solar PV System.
