Why Solar

Solar PV cell is the basic building block of a PV system. It consists of semiconductor material that absorbs sunlight to generate electricity through a phenomenon called “photoelectric effect”. Only sunlight of a certain wavelength can effectively generate electricity. Although a solar PV can generate electricity on a cloudy day, but it is not as effective as it is on a sunny day.

A basic PV cell produces a very small amount of electricity and multiple of them are connected together to form a Solar PV module that can generate 10 W to 300 W output. If more electricity is required, the multiple such PV modules have to be installed in an array.

Multiple kinds of materials are used to create a solar cell and the efficiency of solar cell depends on the same. The efficiency of a solar cell is defined as its capability to convert a certain amount of sunlight into electricity. Solar cells available in the market are of various efficiencies: 4%, 8%, 12%, 14% and 16%. The size of a Solar PV module required will depend on output and efficiencies.

A solar PV system mounted on a rooftop of a building – residential or commercial is a mini power plant as opposed to large-scale power generation projects. It converts solar energy into electricity to meet the power requirement of the building and feed additional power generation into the grid. They fall under two brackets: commercial and residential.

Although anyone can install a rooftop solar system, the size of the installation varies significantly varies depending on the availability of space, amount of electricity consumed by the end user, and the ability or willingness of the owner to invest the capital required.

ON a theoretically basis a 1 kW plant can generate up to 4.5 units of electricity a day, enough to power three fans, seven tube lights and a cooler for four to five hours.

The government has set itself a target of 100 GW of solar power by 2022, of which 60 GW is to come from utilities and 40 GW from rooftop solar installations. While the 60 GW target seems achievable, the country is lagging behind on the target set for rooftop solar.

• First and foremost – by investing in a SolarPV Product now, you can hedge utility prices – fix electricity rate @ Rs. 2.20/- per kWh for 25 years. With a solar panel system, you’ll generate free power for your system’s entire 25+ year lifecycle. Even if you don’t produce 100 percent of the energy you consume, solar will reduce your utility bills and you’ll still save a lot of money.
• The cost of solar power generation is drastically reducing so will your electricity bills, as it is prepared after adjusting import and export of power.
• If you’re a in a business or homeowner with fluctuating cash flow, going solaralso helps you better forecast and manage your expenses.
• Improving the environment and cutting energy costs are the most common.
• Many people are aware that solar is a great home efficiency upgrade and are eager to reduce their carbon footprint while also improving property value.
• They provide a great return on your investment almost about 25 to 40 per cent for residential and 30 to 50 per cent depending on project size and geographical area.
• Almost zero maintenance, fuel-free and above all is Affordable and  reliable
• Easy to install and requires simple wiring system.
• MNRE, GOI provides 30% subsidy on installation of Rooftop solar power plants in domestic sector and non- profit making institutions as per government guidlines.
• Reduction in payback period after availing Generation Based Incentive (GBI).
