How Do I Measure Power Generated by Rooftop Solar Installation

Image
There are two main types of solar PV system. Grid tied solar PV system & off grid solar PV system. These system can have inverters such as string inverter, central inverter, micro inverter,off grid inverter,etc. Many of such inverters have  the facility of online data monitoring . For this you need to connect the inverter with internet using LAN or wi-fi. Some inverters also come with the GSM facility where you can put the sim card to get real time solar generation data. The other way to monitor generation data is to get readings from the inverter display or the energy meter display. Click here for Solar Power Company in India -  https://agnisolar.com/

How Expensive is Maintenance On a Solar Power System

Image
There are Two Types of Solar Power Systems: 1) Grid Tied Solar PV System:   The main components of  grid tied system are solar inverter, solar panels , module mounting structure, ACDB, DCDB, etc. The solar inverters comes with the warranty ogf 5 years which can be extended to 25 years at addition cost. Also the performance warranty of solar panels is for 25 years. So the home solar sytem needs very less maintenance. The only regular maintenance is to clean solar panels once or twice in a month using water. 2) Off Grid Solar PV System:  The main components of off grid system are solar inverter, solar panels ,battery, module mounting structure, ACDB, DCDB, etc. As it requires battery it needs some maintenance. This can be avoided by using lithium ion battery ot by using gel type battery.

Solar Rooftop to MSEDCL Through Net Metering

Image
As per MSEDL commercial circular 258, following are the rules to install rooftop solar PV system under net metering: 1) The capacity of the Rooftop Solar PV system to be connected at the eligible consumer premises shall not exceed his contract Demand (in KVA) or Sanctioned load (in KW).  2) The maximum Roof-top Solar PV system capacity to be installed at eligible consumer's premises shall not exceed the cumulative capacity of the Relevant DTC which has already been utilized. 3) The variation in the capacity of the solar PV system shall be allowed within a range of 5%.  4) The capacity limits for the connectivity of the Rooftop Solar systems to the Distribution network of MSEDCL shall be as specified in MERC (Standard of performance, Period of giving supply and Determination of Compensation) Regulations, 2014 as under • Less than 8KW for single phase system • Less than 80KW for three phase system having supply voltage level of 415V • Above 80 KW to 1 MW for the supply vo...
