FAQ's
General Information
Panchami Global Projects, founded in 2023, specializes in providing solar panel design and installation for homes, businesses, and industries. Our mission is to lead the solar revolution by offering clean, sustainable energy to households, companies, and industries across India.
Solar energy is not only environmentally friendly but also cost-effective. Key benefits include:
● Lower electricity bills:
Generate your own power and reduce your reliance on the grid.
● Energy independence:
Decrease dependence on traditional power sources like coal and oil.
● Government incentives:
Take advantage of tax credits, subsidies, and rebates.
● Minimal maintenance:
Solar panels are durable and require little upkeep.
● Long-term financial savings:
Solar systems can pay for themselves over time, leading to substantial long-term savings.
A solar rooftop system consists of solar panels installed on the roof of a building to capture sunlight and convert it into electricity. This setup helps reduce electricity bills and contributes to a cleaner environment.
Technical Information
Solar panels convert sunlight into electricity using photovoltaic (PV) cells. The process works as follows:
● Sunlight hits the panels, exciting electrons within the PV cells.
● This generates direct current (DC) electricity.
● The DC is converted to alternating current (AC) via an inverter, which powers your home or business.
A typical solar energy system includes:
● Solar panels with photovoltaic (PV) cells
● Solar inverter
● Mounting structures for panels
● AC and DC cables
● AC/DC combiner boxes.
● Earthing cables and MC4 connectors
Yes, solar panels still generate electricity during cloudy or rainy days, though their efficiency may be slightly reduced. Modern panels are designed to capture diffused sunlight in varying weather conditions.
No, if installed by professionals, solar panels will not damage your roof. In fact, they often protect it from weather elements, potentially extending its lifespan.
Financial Information
Solar economics refers to the financial benefits of installing solar energy systems, including reduced electricity bills, long-term savings, and increased property value. Solar energy can be a financially sound investment due to government incentives and subsidies.
There are various subsidies and incentives available, including:
● Tax Credits:
Deduct a percentage of the cost of your solar system from your income taxes.
● Grants and Rebates:
Local or state governments may offer financial grants or rebates to reduce the upfront cost of installation.
● Net Metering:
Sell excess energy back to the grid to offset future energy bills.
The cost of a solar energy system varies, typically ranging from ₹40,000 to ₹60,000 per kW without subsidies. The final cost depends on factors such as capacity, brand, installation, and location.
There are several options available to finance your solar system:
● Solar Loans:
Offered by banks or financial institutions, allowing you to pay for the system over time.
● Leasing Options:
Pay a monthly fee to use the energy generated by solar panels without owning the system.
● Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs):
Pay for the electricity generated at a fixed rate, lower than traditional utility rates.
Maintenance and Support
Solar panels require minimal maintenance. Clean them a few times a year by removing dust, dirt, and debris with water and a soft brush. Regular inspections from professionals ensure optimal efficiency.
Standard solar systems connected to the grid typically do not work during a power outage. However, hybrid systems with battery storage can provide backup power during outages.
No, solar systems require minimal maintenance. Occasional cleaning and inspections are enough to keep the system running efficiently for many years.
Maintenance and Support
On average, a 1 kW solar system generates 4-5 units of electricity per day, depending on location and weather conditions.
To install a rooftop solar system, you’ll need:
● A shadow-free rooftop space.
● An analysis of your electricity consumption.
● Local electricity board approval (if net metering is required).
● A certified solar installer to handle the process.
To apply for a subsidy:
1. Visit the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) or your state’s renewable energy department website.
2. Ensure your installer is certified under government schemes.
3. Submit the necessary documents through your installer to receive the subsidy.
