Answer & Questions

  • DO SOLAR ROOFTOP PROJECTS HAVE A HIGH MAINTAINENCE COST?

    A Solar Rooftop system has very few moving parts, resulting in minimal maintenance requirements and low ongoing costs. To ensure a smooth and worry-free experience, GVPK PVT LTD offers 5 years of complimentary maintenance for all our clients.

  • WHAT IS THE LIFE OF A SOLAR ROOFTOP SYSTEM?

    The typical lifespan of a solar rooftop system is around 25 years. The two main components?solar panels and inverters?play key roles in its performance. Solar panels come with a 25-year warranty, ensuring reliable energy production for decades. Inverters, however, usually have a warranty of 5 to 12 years, after which they may need to be replaced to maintain optimal system efficiency. With proper maintenance, your solar system can continue to operate efficiently even beyond its warranty period.

  • WHAT IS A SOLAR ROOF TOP SYSTEM?

    A solar rooftop system is made up of several key components that work together to convert sunlight into usable electricity.

    The essential components of a rooftop solar system are:

    -Solar panels with photovoltaic (PV) cells

    -Solar inverter

    -Mounting structures for the solar panels

    -AC and DC wiring

    -AC and DC combiner boxes

    -Earthing cables for safety

    -MC4 connectors for secure panel connections

    -Each of these elements plays a crucial role in ensuring the system operates efficiently and safely.

  • HOW DOES A SOLAR ROOF TOP SYSTEM WORKS?

    A solar rooftop system operates by converting sunlight into electricity through a process called the photovoltaic effect.

    When sunlight hits the PV cells in the solar panels, it is converted into DC (Direct Current) electricity. To make this power usable, an AC combiner box is used to transform the DC power into AC (Alternating Current).

    The generated AC electricity is then directed to a bidirectional meter, which supplies power to the household. Any excess electricity is exported back to the DISCOM grid, while the system can import power from the grid if the solar energy produced doesn't meet the daily energy needs.

  • IS SOLAR SAFE?

    Yes, solar energy is completely safe. The electricity generated by a solar power system is just like the power supplied by your local electricity provider, with the only difference being the source. In fact, solar power is one of the safest forms of electricity generation as it does not involve any hazardous materials or release harmful gases during production. It?s a clean, safe, and eco-friendly way to meet your energy needs.

  • CAN A SOLAR ROOFTOP SYSTEM GENERATE POWER DURING A POWER OUTAGE?

    A solar rooftop system can generate power during a power outage, but it depends on the setup. If your system is connected to the grid without a battery backup, it will not supply power during a power failure for safety reasons, as it would be hazardous to utility workers. However, if you have a solar battery storage system or an off-grid setup, your solar system can continue to generate and store power for use during outages.

  • WHAT KIND OF APPLIANCES CAN I USE ON SOLAR POWER?

    Solar power plants can efficiently power both industrial machinery and household electrical and electronic appliances. By generating clean energy, they provide a reliable and sustainable alternative to traditional power sources. When connected to your existing grid or diesel generator, the electricity produced by the solar system is synchronized to ensure a smooth, continuous flow of power. This integration eliminates voltage fluctuations, even when running multiple appliances simultaneously. With a solar system, you can enjoy consistent power, reduced energy bills, and a reliable energy source without the worry of spikes or drops in voltage, making it an ideal solution for both home and industrial use.

  • WHAT IS NET METERING

    Net Metering is a system that allows solar power users to feed excess electricity generated by their solar rooftop system back into the grid. When your solar panels produce more electricity than your home or business consumes, the surplus is sent to the grid, and you receive credits for it. These credits can be used to offset your electricity bill when your solar system isn?t producing enough power (e.g., at night or on cloudy days). Essentially, you only pay for the "net" electricity you consume ? the difference between the power you use and the power you send back to the grid.

    Net metering makes solar energy more cost-effective by allowing you to maximize the benefits of your solar investment and reduce your overall energy costs.

  • WHAT DO I NEED TO INSTALL SOLAR ROOFTOP SYSTEM?

    To get started with a solar system, all you need is empty space on your roof and easy access to it. Simply fill out the project enquiry form on our website, and our team will reach out to discuss your needs. Once everything is finalized, we?ll handle the design, installation, and maintenance of your solar plant. It?s that simple!

  • WHAT HAPPENS IF NO ONE IS HOME DURING THE DAY TO USE SOLAR ENERGY? IS IT WASTED?

    No, solar energy is not wasted if no one is at home during the day. The excess electricity generated by your solar system is sent to the grid through net metering. This allows you to earn credits for the surplus power, which can be used later when your system isn't producing enough energy, like at night or during cloudy days. So, even when you're not home, you're still benefiting from the energy your system generates!

  • HOW CAN I DETERMINE THE SIZE OF THE SOLAR SYSTEM I NEED FOR MY HOME?

    To determine the right size of the solar system for your needs, you need to consider factors like your average monthly electricity consumption, the amount of sunlight your area receives, and the efficiency of the solar panels. A solar energy expert can analyze your electricity bills, assess your roof space, and calculate the optimal system size to meet your requirements. Generally, the more electricity you consume, the larger the system you?ll need to power your home.
