Solar panel is a device that uses photovoltaic effect to convert solar energy to electrical energy. It uses photons from sunlight to generate electric current. The two basic types of solar panels based on cell type are
1. Monocrystalline solar panels
2. Polycrystalline solar panels
Based on technology we can categorize solar panels into
1. Mono PERC solar panels
2. Half-cut solar panels

Polycrystalline solar panels are those that have multiple crystals of silicon in a solar cell. They are blue in color and are more economical than other types of solar panels in market. Best for large scale solar projects

Mono PERC solar panels are advanced form of monocrystalline solar panels and are higher in effeciency than conventional monocrystalline solar PV modules. The passivation layer at the back surface of PERC cell allows these panels absorb more sun light particles (photons), that otherwise would have passed through the silicon cell without being absorbed. This increases electric current leading to more power generation and increased effeciency.

Polycrystalline solar panels are built with multiple crystals of silicon whereas Mono PERC solar panels are made up of single crystal of silicon.
Polycryalliine solar panels are blue colored and monocrystalline solar panels are black colored.
Monocrystalline solar PV modules are more efficient than polycrystalline PV modules whereas polycrystalline solar pamels are more economical than Monocrystalline PERC pv modules.

Monocrystalline solar panel is better than polycrystalline in terms of effeciency where as polycrystalline solar panel is better in cost. So mono crystalline solar panels are better for places where space is limited as they will generate more electricity in smaller area. Mono crystalline solar panels have good heat tolerance, so they are also most suitable for extreme hot temperatures. Polycrystalline have similar lifespan and durability as that of Monocrystallne that too at lower cost.

Half-cut Mono PERC Solar Panels and Bi-Facial Solar Panels are most efficient solar panels available.

Advantages of solar panels can be summarized as follows:
1. You can generate your own power.
2. It saves your expense on electricity.
3. Reduce dependency on thermal power, reduce pollution
4. Almost zero maintainance cost

Though there are no specific disadvantages of using solar energy. But indirect disadvantages could be as follows:
1. High cost of installation
2. Non-availabilty of sufficient space.
3. Requires clear sunny sky for optimum power output
4. Low energy conversion rate

Solar panels generally last long for 25 years or even more

The rating in the manufacturer’s specification is actually the output that a Solar Panel will generate in the optimum conditions which can only be practiced in a lab. In actual environmental conditions, the solar power plant doesn't give the same performance. Generally, the actual watt rating of a Solar Panel is 15-20% lesser than its watt (peak) rating. So whenever you plan to buy a solar panel then you must buy a bit higher capacity than you actually need.

1KWh or 1 unit of solar energy may cost you anywhere between Rs.2.10 - Rs.2.50 per unit. It may vary from state to state.

No, solar panels are not sold for free.

Solar panels are designed to harness the energy of the sun to generate electricity. When photons from sunlight knock out the silicon electrons leading to free movement of charges thus generating electricity. This movement of electrons inside of photovoltaic cells (PV cells) generates a flow of electricity.

During the day, your solar system makes more than what your house needs to function at that time, The excess goes back into the grid. During nighttime when solar panels are not generating power, you will get power from the grid. It is also possible to go off the grid with a solar energy system that includes battery storage, so during the daytime energy will get stored in batteries which will provide you power at night.

Yes, solar panels work on cloudy days but generate less power due to low light availability. To get power during cloudy days you can connect batteries with your solar power system. It will offer you power at night.

A grid-connected solar power system will shut off in blackout. This is meant to protect the utility repair person from electric shock when your solar panels are sending back power to the Grid. To avoid this situation you can connect the battery to your system to store and use power during night or blackout.

Yes, solar panels work in rain.

No, snow can cause shading on solar panel. So it must be cleared on time.

No, It doesn't work in moon light

Yes, solar panels work in the shade, but it must be avoided as it reduces power output

Yes, solar panels work in winter. It perform even better in colder temperature provided it is getting clear sunlight

How many solar panels you need depends on the appliances you want to run on that and your sanction load. E.g.You want to run 3 LED bulbs of 10W each, 3 ceiling fans, 1 LED TV, i.e. 310W and also want to charge 2 batteries of 150Ah. Then you need to buy 2 solar panels of minimum 250W Mono PERC to fulfill your needs

The number of solar panels needed to power your house depends on your power consumption and your sanction load on electricity bill

1Kw of solar panels can generate 4-5 unit of energy in a day

It depends on the solar panel wattage you choose based on your 12V or 24V inverter battery setup. E.g. If you have 24 Volt inverter battery system with 2 batteries of 150Ah and you choose to buy 300W solar panel. Then you will need atleast 4 solar panels of 300 Watt to generate atleast 1KWh of energy

1KW solar system can generate atleast 4 units of electric energy per day

On 1KW solar panel setup you can run 6 LED bulbs of 20W each, 1 40' LED TV, 4 Fans and a 0.5HP motor

Depends on your power consumption needs

A 12V solar panel should be paired with a 12V battery and a 24V solar panel should be used with a 24V Battery. It must be noted that a 24-volt battery is not available in the market, so you need to connect two 12 volt batteries in a series to get 12 volts.

Yes you can run, But you may need atleast 3KW of solar power system to run just 1 AC of 1.5 Ton.

Yes you can charge mobile phones and power banks using solar panels . But you need to use a solar charge controller for that. Solar charge controllers are available with different sizes and capacities. So you can choose whichever suits you along with the solar panel.

Solar power saves you money by reducing the amount of electricity that you have to buy from DISCOM. By doing this you’re purchasing your very own little power station. With solar energy you can generate your own power for your home and save more money by installing an on-grid solar power plant on your roof and selling excess power generated to DISCOM

You are advised to install solar panels with the help of an installer if you are not a technican yourself

Solar panels should be mounted at an angle ranging between 15 Degeree to 35 Degree, facing the south direction

If you are living in an area where power cut is high or an area where there is no grid power then you need battery for power storage purposes.

Then solar panels will not perform well in low sunlight or shade.

It is very important to choose the right solar inverter or PCU for your solar power system to work properly. Its major function is to convert DC current from panels to AC current to be used by home appliances. In the case of off-grid installation, you should consider installing 40% more than the total power of solar panels. Suppose you are planning to install solar panels of 600Wp, then your solar inverter should be min 1.5kva or1500VA

You need batteries to store the extra solar energy you generate which can be used later (in the absence of the Sun). The size of the battery is determined by how much power you need to draw and whats the backup time. Battery capacity should be at least 160% of the energy consumption. Suppose your load is 1500Wh. So you need a minimum of 1500×160% = 2400 Wh capacity. Means 12V/200Ah or 24V/100Ah battery.

It depends on you power consumption requirement, solar panel selection, other components used and total capacity to be installed. Solar panel installation cost in 2023 is a follows
- 1 KW solar system installation cost: Rs. 45,000 to Rs. 80,000 – 2 KW solar system installation cost: Rs. 95,000 to Rs. 1,45,000
– 3 KW solar system installation cost: Rs. 1,34,000 to Rs. 2,20,000
– 4 KW solar system installation cost: Rs. 1,90,000 to Rs. 2,85,000
– 5 KW solar system installation cost: Rs. 2,30,000 to Rs. 3,55,000
– 10 KW solar system installation cost: Rs. 4,55,000 to Rs. 7,10,000

On-Grid system refers to the solar power system that is connected to the utility grid. Whereas off-grid solar power plant are not connected to the grid and need battery for power storage purpose.
