What is the life of a rooftop solar system?
A rooftop solar system typically lasts 25-30 years.
+
Do Solar Rooftop projects have a high maintenance cost?
No, solar projects have minimal maintenance costs.
A rooftop solar system converts sunlight into electricity using
photovoltaic (PV) panels and an inverter.
Grid-tied systems shut down during outages for safety. However,
systems with batteries can provide backup power.
Yes, solar energy is highly reliable with consistent performance and
minimal disruption.
Yes, solar panels still generate power on cloudy days, though with
reduced efficiency.
Yes, depending on your energy consumption and system size, you can
run your entire house on solar.
Yes, you can scale up your solar system if you have enough roof
space and inverter capacity.
+
Do I need to clean my Solar plant?
Yes, periodic cleaning improves efficiency.
+
Can Solar projects damage my roof?
No, when installed correctly, they do not damage the roof.
+
How often should I clean my solar panels?
Cleaning once every 3 to 6 months is usually sufficient, depending
on dust and bird droppings in your area.
+
Do I need professional help for maintenance?
Basic cleaning can be done by homeowners, but annual inspections
by professionals are recommended.
+
What if one solar panel stops working?
The system will continue working, but output may drop. A
technician should inspect and replace faulty panels.
+
Are inverters and batteries also maintained?
Yes, inverters need ventilation and battery systems may need
periodic checks depending on type.
+
Will cleaning my panels void the warranty?
No, as long as you follow proper guidelines. Avoid harsh chemicals
and abrasive tools.
+
Can birds damage the solar system?
Bird droppings can reduce efficiency and nesting can damage
wiring. Protective netting is a good solution.
+
Is solar power cost-effective?
Yes, solar power reduces electricity bills and offers long-term
savings.
+
What is the payback period for a solar installation?
The payback period typically ranges from 4 to 7 years.
+
How much can I save with solar?
Savings vary by location and usage but can be up to 80% on
electricity bills.
+
Are there government subsidies for solar systems?
Yes, the government offers subsidies up to 40% for residential
rooftop solar systems under various schemes.
+
Do solar panels increase home value?
Yes, properties with solar systems often have higher resale value
and appeal to eco-conscious buyers.
+
Is solar financing available?
Many banks and NBFCs offer solar loans at affordable interest
rates with flexible repayment terms.
+
What are net metering benefits?
Net metering lets you sell excess power back to the grid, reducing
your electricity bill even further.
+
Is solar energy cheaper than grid electricity?
Over the long term, yes. After the initial investment, solar
energy becomes significantly cheaper.
