They are an array of multiple photovoltaic (PV) solar panels that convert sunlight into electricity. Multiple cells make up a solar panel, create an electric field, and multiple panels or modules can be wired together to form a solar array. The energy collected from these panels then goes to a solar inverter which converts it into a usable energy source. Where do we put these panels? Aren’t these for bigger industrial areas?Commercial Solar Panels are not only

Blog postAdvantage: Rooftop Solar
Highlights of Rooftop SolarRooftop solar systems require lesser water when compared to ground-mounted solar power plants (for cleaning purposes). Plus, additional land acquisition, which is always the bane of any project, is not an issue with rooftop solar solutions. Off grid rooftop solar solutions reduce the requirement for large-scale transmission infrastructure for grid connectivity. Another problem that is tackled by on grid rooftop solar systems is that of under-utilization of the solar plant where the cost of building infrastructure to connect to the grid is much lower given the proximity to the grid.Opting for ‘net metering’, while installing your rooftop
