Rooftop Solar
Rooftop solar is photo voltaic system that includes solar panel mounted on the rooftop of the residential or commercial or structure. Solar panel consist of the solar cells to harness the energy of the sun and convert it into electricity. These solar cells are small, square shaped semiconductor made from conductive material such as silicon. When sunlight strikes the solar cells, it induces chemical reactions that release the electrons, thus generating electric current. Energy generated is clean, Eco friendly, means it doesn’t produce any type of pollution or harmful gases.
Roof top solar system includes various other components like Inverter, mounting systems/structure, cables, and other electrical accessories.
Solar rooftops have an expected life of 25 years which make them worth the investment.
With solar on your roof, your power bills will be massively reduced because you will need less electricity from the grid. The cost of electricity from the grid is expected to rise in the coming years, so your cost savings should also rise! And with a linear power warranty of 25 years, you can expect long-term cost savings from avoiding the cost of expensive electricity from the grid.
Under roof top we offer following business models.
Benefits of Rooftop solar
1. Protect Environment by reducing carbon footprint
Solar rooftops need only sunlight to generate electricity, making it a cleaner source of energy. Equipments/material used in solar plant doesn’t generate carbon dioxide or other harmful emission like nitrogen oxides, sulphur dioxides, and mercury. So, setup of solar plant is to minimize global warming.
2. Economic benefits
Solar plant setup is one time investment and return of investment is proven to be 3-4 years. Hence, energy generated by solar plant is cost effective solution compare to other source of energy generation (grid electricity, diesel generated energy etc). Switching to solar energy is huge cut in electricity monthly bill and hence saving lot of money for life terms of installed solar plant. Also, sale of excess energy generation to DISOCM will increase revenue for owner.
3. Secure Investment
Electricity prices keep on fluctuating from time to time. So, it is difficult to calculate the expenditure on electricity for a certain period of time in future. However, in case of solar rooftops, the price of power generated can be calculated easily for next 25 years.
4. Indian Government encouragement
In order to encourage people to adopt solar energy, Government is providing subsidy for rooftop solar setup.
5. Suitable for Indian climate
India geographical location is ideal for receiving ample amount of sunlight. With almost 300 sunny days with clear skies, help in generate more solar energy.
6. Low maintenance cost
Rooftop solar panels require very less maintenance. They come with a service life of over 25 years if maintained properly.
7. It increases access to energy
There are many places in the rural and urban areas, where electricity is improper, unstable and unreliable. Hence, peoples in these areas are forced to rely on alternatives source of energy like diesel generators. These alternatives source of energy pose harmful effects on the health, environment and they are volatile in terms of their operating costs. In such a scenario, solar energy serves as an affordable source of electricity.
