Q. Do solar panels need maintenance?
The only maintenance a solar panel requires is cleaning with a damp cloth from time to time, no other maintenance is needed. However, if lead acid batteries are used the acid levels need to be checked every six months and topped up if necessary.
Q. How do I measure the size of equipment required?
Quite simply: you work out your average comsumption per day: Add that to the specified power of an appliance (watts) and multiply it with the daily running hours.

Q. How does solar equipment work?
The solar panels turn day and sunlight into electricity. The absorption of light in the solar cells builds up electric voltage (volts), as solar cells do not store any electricity all energy gained is fed through a regulator to the battery and stored there.
Q. How long do solar modules last?
Life expectancy is around 20 years depending on the type. All parts are designed for outside use, even seawater, hail and storms can't damage a Solara panel.
Q. Are blocking diodes fitted in the solar panels?
Blocking diodes are only supplied in the Uni-Solar range, all Solar modules require regulators fitted in the system for complete protection.
Q. How they work?
Solar Photovoltaic
The increase energy needs and rapidly depleting fossil fuel scenario has rightly shifted the emphasis from conventional energy to non-conversional energy sources. Solar photovoltaic is one of the sources which convert sunlight into DC electricity instantaneously. Solar Photovoltaic System is the best mean to meet your electricity requirement in an environment friendly. The Solar Photovoltaic market continues to boom having sustained growth rates of 30% - 40% per year till 2008-09, but during last financial year the world market is likely to boom by 65% and even more.
Solar Photovoltaic and its Advantages
In remote locations, where grid electricity is not available and it is very much uneconomical and unreliable to think about the other centrally generated electricity and its distribution except SPV Systems. SPV Electricity may turn out to be an ideal solution in these areas. This is due to the fact that the fuel, for the electricity production, i.e. the sunlight, is available at the place of use. No doubt the future of the Solar Photovoltaic business is bright, even there is tough competition in the existing market where production cost of the SPV system is very high and the paying capacity of our customer in domestic market is low. Till now the Indian market was mostly operated by the Govt. Agencies under subsidy scheme and there was no reliable reliable program of awareness in the market. As the demand of SPV System increased in the world market since last two years which causes the shortage of Si, in international market, which is the basic raw material and hence hike in the price on the SPV Systems. As the demand relates the production, so in the passion the world producer in the market have plznned to increase their capacity & more and more producers came in the market.But fulfilling the gap among the production-demand-cost will take about two year more time and later our domestic market will boom very high and will increase the business opportunity.
