Solar energy is the energy from the sun that is converted into electricity or heat using solar panels or other technologies.
Solar panels contain photovoltaic (PV) cells that capture sunlight and convert it into direct current (DC) electricity. An inverter then converts the DC electricity into alternating current (AC) electricity for household or commercial use.
Reduces electricity bills
Environmentally friendly and reduces carbon footprint
Low maintenance costs
Increases property value
Government subsidies and tax incentives
On-Grid Systems: Connected to the power grid, allowing excess energy to be sold back to the grid.
Off-Grid Systems: Stand-alone systems that store energy in batteries for use in remote areas.
Hybrid Systems: Combine on-grid systems with battery storage.
Net metering is a system that credits solar system owners for the electricity they add to the grid. Excess energy generated by your solar panels can offset your electricity bill.
The cost varies based on the system size, location, and installation. For example, a 2 kW rooftop system typically ranges between ₹1,20,000 to ₹1,50,000 before subsidies.
Government subsidies for residential solar installations include:
Central Government: Up to ₹78,000 for a 3 kW system.
State Government: Additional subsidies of up to ₹30,000 (depending on the state). Subsidies are credited directly to the consumer’s bank account within 30-45 days after submission of documents.
Solar panels typically last 25–30 years, with warranties covering performance for that period.
Solar panels are low maintenance. They usually only need cleaning 6–10 times a year to remove dirt and debris.
Yes, solar panels still generate electricity during cloudy or rainy days but at reduced efficiency due to lower sunlight intensity.
A 1 kW solar system typically requires 10–12 square meters of shadow-free space.
On-grid systems: No, they require grid electricity to operate.
Off-grid or hybrid systems: Yes, they can function independently with battery backup.
Your home is suitable if:
There is sufficient shadow-free roof space.
The roof structure can support the weight of solar panels.
Your location receives good sunlight.

Bank details (for subsidy credits)
The installation process typically takes 7–10 days, depending on the system size and complexity.
In an on-grid system, excess energy is sent to the grid, and you receive credits through net metering.
Yes, solar systems can be upgraded by adding more panels or Inverter capacity.
Yes, most components of solar panels, such as glass and metal, can be recycled.
The payback period ranges from 3-4 years, depending on electricity savings and initial investment.

A UPS, or Uninterruptible Power Supply, is a backup power device that provides temporary power to your equipment during power outages. It also protects against voltage fluctuations to ensure the smooth operation of your devices.
A UPS continuously monitors the main power supply. If a power failure or fluctuation occurs, it instantly switches to its battery to provide uninterrupted power to the connected devices.
A UPS is essential for preventing data loss, equipment damage, and downtime caused by sudden power interruptions. It ensures continuity in operations for critical equipment and systems.
UPS systems are used in:
Homes: To power computers, Wi-Fi routers, and entertainment systems during outages.
Offices: To protect IT infrastructure, workstations, and servers.
Industries: To keep critical machinery running.
Hospitals: For powering life-support systems and other medical equipment.
Offline/Standby UPS: Suitable for small devices, provides backup during outages.
Line-Interactive UPS: Protects against minor voltage fluctuations and offers backup.
Online/Double-Conversion UPS: Offers continuous power and protection, ideal for sensitive equipment.
When selecting a UPS, consider:
Power Capacity: The total load your devices require (measured in VA or kVA).
Backup Time: How long you need the power to last during an outage.
Type of UPS: Based on your application and the sensitivity of your devices.
Additional Features: Like surge protection, LCD displays, or connectivity options.
A UPS battery typically lasts 3 to 5 years. Proper usage and regular maintenance can help extend its life.
Yes, most UPS systems are compatible with generators. However, ensure the generator provides stable output and meets the UPS's requirements.
Inverter: Provides backup power but may have a slight delay in switching from main power to battery.
Keep the UPS in a cool, dry place to prevent overheating.
Periodically simulate a power failure to test its functionality.
Clean vents and ensure the device remains dust-free.
Protects equipment from voltage surges and sags.
Ensures the smooth functioning of critical operations.
