Technical FAQs 4

What is a rooftop solar photovoltaic system?

A rooftop solar photovoltaic (PV) system uses solar panels mounted on the roof of a building to convert sunlight into electricity. Rooftop solar systems rely on the photovoltaic effect, where cells generate electricity in response to sunlight.

What are the different types of rooftop solar PV systems?

The three main types of rooftop solar PV systems are off-grid rooftop solar systems, on-grid rooftop solar systems and hybrid solar systems (grid-tied with battery). Off-grid rooftop solar systems include a solar battery to store excess energy, so owners have backup power during periods of low sun.

Are rooftop solar panels sustainable?

Everyone can utilise the idle rooftops to harness the energy from the sun as a replacement for electricity. Also, it is cost-effective, and sustainable and will contribute to India’s Sustainable Development Goals. Rooftop solar panels can be broadly categorised into four main types: monocrystalline, polycrystalline, thin-film and PERC solar panels.

Are rooftop solar systems high maintenance?

No, rooftop solar systems are not high maintenance because they only need to be cleaned twice a year. Most debris on roof-mounted solar panels slides off naturally or is washed off by rainfall. Is it worth it to install Rooftop Solar PV Systems?
