WHAT IS ROOFTOP SOLAR?

A solar rooftop system is a combination of many components that convert sunlight into usable electricity. The components of a rooftop solar include the following -

• Solar panels with PV cells

• Solar inverter

• Solar panel mounting structures

• AC and DC cables

• AC combiner box

• DC combiner box

• Earthing cables

• MC4 connectors

How does a solar rooftop system work?

A solar rooftop system works on the concept of conversion of
sunlight into electricity. The phenomenon is known as the photovoltaic effect.

When sunlight falls on the PV cells in a solar panel, the sunlight is converted into electricity. The generated power is DC current. An AC combiner box is used to convert that DC power into usable AC power.

The generated AC electricity is fed into a bidirectional meter that supplies power to the house. It also exports excess power to the

DISCOM (grid) and imports power from the grid if electricity generated by the rooftop solar system is not enough to cover the daily requirement

Why should I go solar?

If you want to save money from the sun, Solar is the best investment for you. Solar allows you to save on your monthly electric bills plus it also allows you to save the planet by going green. Solar energy is a true form of renewable clean energy which leads to zero pollution(air, noise, land) and emits no greenhouse gases mitigating climate change.

Is solar power safe?

Yes. The electricity produced by a solar power system is no different than the electricity you get from your electricity distribution company. The only difference is the source. Moreover, it is among the safest source of electricity consumption because it is neither hazardous nor does it release any toxic or harmful gases during production.

What are the different types of Solar systems?

There are 3 types of Solar systems depending on whether the plant is linked to the power grid or battery systems for storage.

• On-grid solar systems use common solar inverters and are connected to the public electricity grid. Any excess solar power that you generate is exported to the electricity grid and one usually get paid a feed-in-tariff or credits for the energy you export. The policy for getting credits for energy exported to the credit is termed as “Net-Metering Policy” and is available currently in most states of India.

• Off-grid solar systems are not connected to the electricity grid and therefore requires battery storage. An off-grid solar system must be designed appropriately so that it will generate enough power throughout the year and have enough battery capacity to meet the home’s requirements, even in the depths of winter when there is less sunlight.

• Hybrid solar systems combines solar and battery storage in one and are now available in many different forms and configurations. This means being able to store solar energy that is generated during the day and using it at night. When the stored energy is depleted, the grid is there as backup, allowing consumers to have the best of both worlds.You can explore other sections of this website, such as the "About Us" page or our blog, to learn more about our company, mission, and team.

What do I need to install a rooftop solar system?

All you need to qualify for a solar system is - empty space on your roof and access to your rooftop. Just fill the project enquiry form on our website and our team will contact you to discuss your requirement. Once the project is finalised, we will take care of your entire plant design, installation and maintenance.

Do solar panels generate electricity even during monsoon and winter?

Yes, Solar panels do produce electricity in cloudy or rainy weather albeit with reduced efficiency. This fall in production is considered inthe unit generation estimates provided for every project.

Does a rooftop solar PV generate power during a power failure?

No, rooftop solar PV does not function or generate electricity during a blackout due to safety reasons. Since blackouts occur when the electricity grid is damaged. If a solar inverter was still feeding electricity into a damaged grid it would risk the safety of the people repairing the fault in the network. Solar Square Energy provides the option of using a Li-ion storage battery with Solar power plants for areas which suffer from frequent power failures. This battery unit can store the excess electricity produced during the day and acts as a backup for any electricity requirement during night or in the event of a power failure.

How much electricity does a solar plant produce?

The production level of a solar plant depends on multiple factors like radiation levels, amount of sunlight received, plant design and quality of components. On an average, 1 kW solar plant produces 4 units of electricity per day.

What kind of appliances can I use on Solar Power?

Solar Power plants are used to power all types of heavy machinery in industrial plants as well as household electrical and electronic appliances. Since the electricity produced from the plant is fed in sync with your grid/diesel generator, there are no voltage fluctuations irrespective of the number of appliances you use.

How do I decide what size of plant I need?

The size of your Solar plant depends on the following factors

• Your electricity consumption pattern

• Available shadow free area

• Solar irradiation in your area
  
  Once you enlist your interest in a solar project, Krishna Solarconducts a scientific mapping of the appropriate project size for you.
