- •Before installing solar panels, plan your budget and determine the appropriate kilowatt capacity for your home.
- •Choosing a spot with ample sunlight is crucial; incorrect placement can reduce electricity generation by 20-80%.
- •Install panels facing south or west with a slight tilt for optimal sunlight absorption and maximum efficiency in India.
- •Ensure the installation location is easily accessible for periodic cleaning and maintenance to prevent issues.
- •For older roofs, verify the roof's structural strength to support the solar panel weight before installation.
Key Questions Answered
If solar panels are not installed in the correct place and direction, electricity generation can drop significantly by 20 to 80 percent.
In India, solar panels should ideally face south or west and be installed at a slight tilt rather than completely flat to ensure they receive ample sunlight effectively.
If you are installing solar panels on a very old roof, you must first check if the roof is strong enough and has the bearing capacity to support the heavy weight of the panels.
