FAQ

The numerous parts that make up a solar rooftop system work together to transform sunshine into electrical power that may be used.

The idea behind a solar rooftop system is to turn sunlight into electrical power. The photovoltaic effect is the name given to this phenomena.

Sunlight is transformed into energy when it strikes the photovoltaic cells of a solar panel. DC current is the power that is produced. That DC electricity is transformed into useful AC power using an AC combiner unit.

The house’s power is supplied by a bidirectional meter that receives the produced AC electricity. Additionally, in the event that the electricity produced by the rooftop solar system is insufficient to meet daily needs, it purchases power from the grid

The DBT system has greatly simplified the process of applying for subsidies. Here’s a detailed explanation:

• Go to the website of the National Portal for Rooftop Solar.
• Install the Sandes app after downloading it from the website.
• Open the Sandes app and register as a customer.
• A discom representative will visit your house after you’ve registered to determine its technical viability.

• Select SolarSquare as your solar installation provider once the official issues the No Objection Certificate (NOC).
• Together, we will go over the project’s specifics and sign an agreement.
• After payment has been received, we will go to work on the installation.
• on your behalf, we will request for a net meter installation and send a job completion report.
• After everything is finished, you will get a commissioning certificate.
• Upload a copy of a canceled check and provide details about your bank account via the National Portal for Rooftop Solar.
• Within 30 days of receiving your information, the fund handling agency will credit your bank account with the subsidy.
• You may successfully complete the procedure and take use of solar energy by following these instructions.

Our carefully selected list of solar panel prices for homes will be very helpful if you are intending to install solar panels for your residence or housing society. This is a reference on the price range of solar panels for homes in India that are not eligible for subsidies:

• ₹70,000 to ₹1,10,000 for a 1 kW Rooftop solar system
• ₹1,80,000 to ₹2,40,000 for a 3 kW Rooftop solar system
• ₹3,00,000 to ₹4,00,000 for a 5 kW rooftop solar system
• ₹1,40,000 to ₹1,80,000 for a 2 kW rooftop solar system
• ₹2,40,000 to ₹3,20,000 for a 4 kW rooftop solar system
• ₹6,00,000 to ₹8,00,000 for a 10 kW rooftop solar system

Solar is the ideal investment if you want to save money on energy. By turning green, solar energy not only helps you save money on your monthly electricity bills, but it also helps save the environment. Solar energy is a genuine renewable clean energy source that produces no greenhouse gases that contribute to climate change and produces no pollution of the air, noise, or land.

Indeed. There is no distinction between the electricity generated by a solar power system and the electricity provided by your electrical distribution provider. The source is the only thing that differs. Furthermore, because it doesn’t emit any poisonous or dangerous gasses during manufacturing, it is one of the safest sources of power consumption.

To be eligible for a solar system, all you need is access to your rooftop and some vacant space on your roof. Simply complete the online project enquiry form, and a member of our team will get in touch with you to go over your needs. We will handle all aspects of your plant’s design, installation, and maintenance when the project is completed.

Depending on whether the plant is connected to the electrical grid or uses battery systems for storage, there are three different kinds of solar systems.

• On-grid solar power systems are linked to the public electrical grid and run on standard solar inverters. Your surplus solar energy is exported to the electrical grid, where it is often compensated for with credits or a feed-in tariff. Currently offered in the majority of Indian states, the “Net-Metering Policy” allows for the acquisition of credits for energy exported to the credit.

• Because off-grid solar systems are not linked to the electrical grid, battery storage is necessary. Even in the dead of winter, when there is less sunshine, an off-grid solar system needs to be properly constructed in order to generate adequate electricity all year round and have enough battery capacity to satisfy the needs of the house. 

• These days, hybrid solar systems come in a wide range of shapes and sizes, combining solar and battery storage into one unit. This entails having the capacity to store solar energy produced during the day and utilize it at night. Customers may benefit from the best of both worlds since the grid is available as a backup when the stored energy is used up.

Yes, even if their efficiency is decreased, solar panels may still generate power during overcast or wet weather. Every project’s unit generation projections take this decrease in production into account.

For safety concerns, rooftop solar PV does not operate or produce power during a blackout. Considering that damage to the electrical system causes blackouts. A solar inverter that continued to supply power into a broken grid would put the safety of those fixing the network’s flaw at danger. For locations that experience regular power outages, SolarSquare Energy offers the opportunity to combine solar power plants with Li-ion storage batteries. This battery unit serves as a backup for any electrical needs at night or in the case of a power outage. It may store extra electricity generated during the day.

A solar plant’s output level is determined by a number of variables, including radiation levels, solar radiation levels, plant design, and component quality. Four units of power are produced daily on average by a 1 kW solar plant.

All kinds of heavy machinery in industrial facilities, as well as electrical and electronic gadgets in homes, are powered by solar power plants. No matter how many appliances you use, there are no voltage fluctuations since the power generated by the plant is fed in rhythm with your grid or diesel generator.

Your solar plant’s size is determined by the following:

• Your use habits of electricity
• Accessible shadow-free space
• The amount of sunlight in your region

When you express interest in a solar project, SolarSquare maps out the ideal project size for you using science.

Owners of solar energy are credited for the electricity they contribute to the grid through a mechanism called net metering. Excess electricity generated by solar panels is fed into the grid. Additionally, when the solar plants are not producing energy, as at night, this electricity may be “taken back.” The bi-directional electricity meter runs backwards when a unit of solar energy is “net metered.” Just the “net” amount of energy used is charged to customers.
