Foundation Guide to Solar Panels
Your simple, step-by-step guide to understanding the core components of a solar system in India. Make an informed decision for your home or business.
Mono vs Poly vs Thin-Film Panels
Monocrystalline
Made from a single silicon crystal, these are the most efficient panels. They perform better in low light and have a sleek, uniform black appearance.
Best For: Rooftops with limited space & premium aesthetics.Polycrystalline
Made from multiple silicon fragments melted together. They are slightly less efficient than mono panels but offer excellent value for money.
Best For: Budget-conscious buyers with ample rooftop space.Thin-Film
A newer technology that is lightweight and flexible. While less common for residential rooftops, they are great for unique applications and large-scale projects.
Best For: Commercial buildings or non-traditional surfaces.The 3 Core Components of Your System
Solar Panels
These capture sunlight and convert it into DC (Direct Current) electricity. They are the power generators of your system and are built to last over 25 years.
Inverter
The "brain" of the system. The inverter converts the DC electricity from the panels into AC (Alternating Current) electricity that your home appliances can use.
Batteries (Optional)
For hybrid or off-grid systems, batteries store excess solar energy. This gives you power during the night and protects you from power cuts in India.
