General Questions

1. Q: What is solar energy?
A: Solar energy is the energy generated from the sun's rays, either directly or indirectly.

2. Q: How does solar energy work?
A: Solar energy works by converting sunlight into electricity using photovoltaic (PV) cells or solar panels.

3. Q: What are the benefits of solar energy?
A: Solar energy is renewable, sustainable, and reduces greenhouse gas emissions, energy bills, and reliance on fossil fuels.

Solar Panel Questions

1. Q: How long do solar panels last?
A: Solar panels typically last for 25 years or more, with a guaranteed minimum efficiency of 80% after 25 years. But Now a Days Solar Panels are available for 30 years also.

2. Q: How much do solar panels cost?
A: The cost of solar panels varies depending on the quality, brand, and Installation Company,

3. Q: How many solar panels do I need?
A: The number of solar panels needed depends on your energy consumption, roof size, and sunlight exposure.

Installation and Maintenance Questions

1. Q: How is solar panel installation done?
A: Solar panel installation involves assessing your site, designing the system, installing the panels, and connecting them to the grid.

2. Q: Do I need to clean my solar panels?
A: Yes, cleaning your solar panels regularly can improve their efficiency and energy output.

3. Q: What kind of maintenance is required for solar panels?
A: Solar panels require minimal maintenance, but regular inspections and cleaning can ensure optimal performance.

Financial and Incentives Questions

1. Q: Are there any government incentives for solar energy?
A: Yes, many governments offer tax credits, rebates, and grants for solar energy system installations.

2. Q: Can I sell excess energy back to the grid?
A: Yes, with net metering, you can sell excess energy back to the grid and offset your energy bills.

3. Q: What is the payback period for solar energy systems?
A: The payback period for solar energy systems varies and also depends on many criteria’s, but it's typically between 2-5 years.

Technical Questions

1. Q: What is the difference between monocrystalline and polycrystalline solar panels?
A: Monocrystalline solar panels are more efficient and expensive, while polycrystalline solar panels are less efficient and cheaper.

2. Q: What is the role of an inverter in a solar energy system?
A: An inverter converts DC power from the solar panels to AC power, making it usable for homes and businesses.

3. Q: Can I use solar energy during power outages?
A: Yes, with a battery backup system, you can use solar energy during power outages (i.e. Off Grid Solar Power System) but in On Grid or Grid connected the Solar Power Systems also shuts during power outages.
