Electricity prices continue to soar. Costly electricity production and its transportation have almost doubled the per unit price than it was 3 years back, resulting in a heavy load on the common public. There are several ways to combat this high-priced energy dependency, the primary of which is Solar Rooftops. Over the past few years, #solarrooftop has emerged as a great alternative to fossil fuel-based electricity and is providing proven benefits to its users. But as they say, with every good thing, there occurs something called ‘myth’ that people often associate with it.
In this blog, we will spread some light on common myths that revolve around #Solar and discuss how much of it is true.?
- Solar Rooftop is Only for the Rich: The most common myth that people tend to believe is that solar rooftop is only for the richer section of society with costs of installation going in lac. However the truth is that solar rooftop is for everyone, and one may get up to 40% subsidy from the state government for the successful installation of up to 03 KW and 20% subsidy on the successful installation of more than 03 KW till 10 KW.
- Solar Rooftops do not perform in Rainy Season: One more myth that people have in their mind is that solar rooftops do not perform well in the rainy season. But little do people know that solar rooftops work equally well in the rainy season as they would on sunny days. However, it depends on the manufacturing company and the quality of the solar panels that you’re installing.
- Solar Rooftops require a lot of maintenance: It becomes very easy to install and maintain solar rooftops, provided you’re installing them from a reputed solar installer. If so, all you have to do is clean & clear the dust and debris that might have got collected on the surface of the solar panels.
- Solar Panels damage the roof: One other lies that people believe about solar rooftops is that it damages the roof and might make it weak considering their weight. However, the reality is that solar rooftops actually preserve and protect the roof and are not directly attached to the roof. Instead, they are just mounted on the roof and can be easily shifted in case there is some issue with the roof.
- The capacity of solar panels depends on the consumption: The capacity of the solar rooftop that you want to install does not depend on your monthly consumption and you can install any amount of solar capacity considering your space and finances.
- You have to own the entire property to install Solar Rooftops: The fact is you can install a solar rooftop even if you don’t own the entire building. Say if you live in an apartment of around 20 houses, then you will need the permission of all the members and if they agree, you can install solar rooftops for common as well as individual use.
- Solar rooftops run even during a power outage: This depends on the type of solar rooftop that you have installed. In the case of an on-grid solar system, the solar rooftops won’t work. While in the off-grid solar system, it is not connected to the grid of your local electricity provider. Hence it will work according to the efficiency of your batteries that stores the electricity.
- Wind, Animals, and Birds damage the solar panels: Solar panels are durable to withstand any wind or storm provided they are properly mounted on your roof. Given the fact that they are made with high-quality glass to prevent easy breaking. This means that monkey sitting, standing, or laying on it won’t be a problem. Furthermore, bird droppings don’t cause any harm to generation if they are cleaned and maintained properly.
- Heavy electronic equipment like Air Conditioners and Refrigerators don’t work on Solar Rooftops: Electronic equipment like Air Conditioners and Refrigerators work well on solar rooftops if it is connected to a grid system as both share an equal load, ensuring a smooth run of all the electric items.
