Solar Panel convert sunlight into electricity. The panels made up of solar cells,which,when,hit by the sun's rays,genertae direct current(DC) electricity through a process called"the photovoltaic effect". Most home appliances don’t run on DC electricity,so devices called inverters convert it to alternating current (AC) electricity. Once converted,the electricity flows into your home, powering everything from your lights to your fridge to your cell phone charger.If your panels produce more electricity than you need, the execess goes to the grid (which is where net metering comes in )or a battery,if you have once installed.

The ideal size of your solar energy system depends on your electricity usage and how much sun your roof gets,among other things.
Look at your past electric bills and compare offers from licensed,pre-screened solar installers to determine the best system size for your needs. And,if you are considering future electrical upgrades,like heat pumps,an induction cooktop,or an EV charger,make sure to tell your installer so they can size your system to meet your future needs.

On a technical level, there are four main types of solar panels: Monocrystalline,Polycrystalline,Bi-facial and thin-film. A solar panel is a device that coverts sunlight into electricity by using photovoltaic (PV) cells. PV cells are made up of Semiconductor materials like silicon that produce excited electrons when exposed to light. These electrons flow through circuit and produce direct current (DC) electricity, which can be used to power various devices or be stored in batteries. Solar panels are also known as solar cell panels,solar electric panels or PV Modules.

Your Installer will conduct a site visit to access your property.Once you accept a quote on Windsun, your installer will file the paperwork necessary to aprove your system. The solar panel system installation usually only takes a few days to complete,but the entire installation process from site assesment to commissioning can take anymore from 2 weeks and if there is load extention then it will take 10-12 weeks due to scheduling constrints around permitting,installation,inspection,utility interconnection and more.

No, as long as you are connected to the grid,your solar panel system doesn’t necessarily need a battery.

Your excess power will flow back to the grid, and you can draw from the grid if you need more electricity than your panel generate.

If you want backup power during outages, you will need a battery.And,if you don’t have access to one-to-one net metering, batteries can significantly increase your savings with solar,making them very worthwhile.

Yes, solar panels can still work when the sun isn't shining, but their effiency is reduced.

In Cloudy or Rainy Weather they generate 10-30% of normal output depending on cloud density.

High -efficiency panels and MPPT ( Maximum Power Point Tracking) Inverters help optimize performance in low sunlight conditions.

At Night Solar panels do not produce electricity beacause they rely on sunlight. However,if you have a battery storage system,you can use stored solar power at night.

Also Grid-Tied systems allow you to draw power from the grid when solar generation is low.

For maximum output, you will want a roof that’s roughly south-facing, has minimal shading,and is tilted between 15 to 40 degrees.

But even if your roof doesn’t have an ideal layout,solar is often still worth it. East or west-facing systems will produce plenty of power. And, you can always add racking equipment to change the angle of your solar panels relative to your roof.

It depends, solar energy system can last for 25 to 35 years. If you need to replace your roof within that time frame,removing and reinstalling your solar panels won't be cheap.

So if you know your roof needs maintenance soon,we recommend getting it done before going solar.

There are four main ways to finance your solar panel system; you can purchase it with cash,take out a loan,sign a solar lease or sign a power purchase agreement (PPA).

Central Government (MNRE Subsidy) :

Up to 40% subsidy for residential installations (below 3 KW)

Up to 20% for installations above 3KW

State-specific subsidies may apply in some states.

PM-KUSUM Yojana :

For farmers,providing financial support to install solar pumps and solar sysytems.

Tax Benefits

Accelerated Depreciation 40% under Section 32 of the Income Tax Act for commercial installations.

Net Metering

Allows homeowners to sell excess power back to the grid,earning credits for future consumption.
