Over the past decade, solar technology has experienced rapid advancements. Today’s solar panels are more efficient than they were in the past. The cost of solar panels has fallen dramatically over the same time, making zero-cost solar possible for homeowners and businesses.
Your solar energy company can help you install a solar power plant. They will guarantee high efficiency, long-term benefits, and significant savings. If you’re a commercial or industrial customer, RESCO will install your solar energy plant at no cost to you. You only need to pay the monthly power costs and a signed PPA (power purchase arrangement) to cover the expenses. It is usual for buyers to want to know more about how a renewable energy system works and how it can help them make informed decisions.
Certain factors can affect the performance and efficiency of solar panels throughout the entire year. With a few tweaks, these factors will not impact the output of your Solar Plant.
Factors That Affect Solar Energy Production
Temperature
Many people believe that high temperatures equal high power generation. Solar panels operate at their maximum efficiency at 25°C. This drops by about 0.2% for each degree higher than 25°C. Being exposed to heat can cause the voltage between solar cells to drop, which reduces their maximum generation capacity. A 100Wp solar panel can produce electricity equivalent to 75Wp when the summer temperature is 45°C.
Shading
Any shaded area of your solar panels may result in a production drop equal to that of the sunlit room. This is false. However, the power loss can be even more significant. The solar cells are wired together in series and connected. The shaded cells block the current flow through all connected cells. Solar energy companies in India recommend not installing solar panels in areas with shading for a significant portion of the day.
Rooftop (terrace). Orientation
The best way to maximize sunlight exposure for solar panels is to position them in the most direct and optimal place. Solar panels should be adjusted frequently because the sun’s direction changes from morning to night. This will ensure that the sunlight hits the surface directly and maximizes the benefits of sunny hours. However, this is not possible by hand. Many technologies will allow your solar panels to follow the sun.
Solar Panels Cleanliness
Solar panels’ efficiency is also affected by pollution, rain, dust, and sandstorms. Routine cleaning will ensure that your solar panels are clean and dirt-free. This will allow you to generate maximum power. You will get more electricity generation if you clean your solar panels at least once per month.
Location
Indian weather is unique in that it varies widely from one region of India to the next. This affects solar insolation, the amount of solar energy that falls on each cm2/min. Consider annual solar radiation when considering a solar system to power your industrial or business facility.
Weather Effects on Solar Panels
Indian solar energy distributors offer high-quality panels resistant to heavy rains, storms, and other weather conditions for up to 25 years. The meetings are protected from surface heating by the exterior glass layer. Storm dust and rainwater can slip off the panels. A sudden voltage surge can cause damage to your boards and other components of the solar system. Solar panels can still generate electricity even in heavy rains and storms.
Even though the sun is less during winter, most parts of India still have enough sunlight to generate the highest quality electricity. You can also use solar power battery storage for electricity storage at night.
Importance and Annual Energy Production
Considering the annual energy production when installing a solar system in your industrial or business facility is essential. The year’s energy production changes. The result is that solar electricity can be twice as efficient in summer than it is on short winter days.
Therefore, it is important to consider the entire year’s solar energy production and not just one day. Your panels will work at maximum efficiency throughout the year, which will reduce your overall energy consumption. Solar is a great choice for green energy investments because of its annual production.
