Each step, from determining how much energy you consume and where to place the solar power system to the final commissioning process, is very important.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><ul style=\"--awb-margin-top:20px;--awb-margin-bottom:20px;--awb-item-padding-top:0px;--awb-item-padding-left:25px;--awb-iconcolor:var(--awb-color4);--awb-line-height:27.2px;--awb-icon-width:27.2px;--awb-icon-height:27.2px;--awb-icon-margin:11.2px;--awb-content-margin:38.4px;--awb-circlecolor:hsla(var(--awb-color4-h),var(--awb-color4-s),var(--awb-color4-l),calc(var(--awb-color4-a) - 90%));--awb-circle-yes-font-size:14.08px;\" class=\"fusion-checklist fusion-checklist-2 type-icons\"><li class=\"fusion-li-item\" style=\"\"><span class=\"icon-wrapper circle-yes\"><i class=\"fusion-li-icon awb-magazine-angle-right-solid\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/span><div class=\"fusion-li-item-content\"><b>Step 1: Planning and Site Assessment: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Any good installation starts with analyzing how much electricity you consume and how much space you have. In one instance, a household that consumes about 300 units of electricity monthly may need 2 to 3 kilowatts of system capacity. On the other hand, households that consume more will require 5 kilowatts or above. This step will help us know how feasible the installation is and whether we can use the roof to achieve it.<\/span><\/div><\/li><li class=\"fusion-li-item\" style=\"\"><span class=\"icon-wrapper circle-yes\"><i class=\"fusion-li-icon awb-magazine-angle-right-solid\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/span><div class=\"fusion-li-item-content\"><b>Step 2: Opting for the Correct Solar Panels: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The correct solar panels need to be chosen based on their efficiency and longevity. The monocrystalline panels are recommended for spaces where there is less roof space due to high efficiency, whereas polycrystalline panels are cheaper when large spaces are available. In certain scenarios, bifacial panels are installed to harness reflected light from surfaces to increase energy generation. The solar panels must adhere to BIS norms and MNRE guidelines.<\/span><\/div><\/li><li class=\"fusion-li-item\" style=\"\"><span class=\"icon-wrapper circle-yes\"><i class=\"fusion-li-icon awb-magazine-angle-right-solid\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/span><div class=\"fusion-li-item-content\"><b>Step 3: Selecting the Configuration of Solar Systems: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Depending upon the energy requirements and geographic locations, one can select whether an on-grid, off-grid, or hybrid system suits them better. The on-grid solar system operates along with the utility grid and is perfect for places with a good electricity supply. The off-grid solar system operates independently and includes a battery bank.<\/span><\/div><\/li><li class=\"fusion-li-item\" style=\"\"><span class=\"icon-wrapper circle-yes\"><i class=\"fusion-li-icon awb-magazine-angle-right-solid\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/span><div class=\"fusion-li-item-content\">\n<p><b>Step 4: Approvals and Documentation: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before installation, approvals need to be sought from the relevant local electricity distribution utility. Information about the system needs to be supplied and an application for net metering needs to be submitted. Other government initiatives that promote residential solar power use include the PM Surya Ghar program.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/li><li class=\"fusion-li-item\" style=\"\"><span class=\"icon-wrapper circle-yes\"><i class=\"fusion-li-icon awb-magazine-angle-right-solid\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/span><div class=\"fusion-li-item-content\"><b>Step 5: Installing the Mounting Structure: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The mounting structure needs to be installed either on the roof or the ground. The structure will be firmly fixed to handle weather changes. The optimal tilt and orientation angles should be fixed to maximize exposure to sunlight throughout the year. This structure forms the base of the whole setup.<\/span><\/div><\/li><li class=\"fusion-li-item\" style=\"\"><span class=\"icon-wrapper circle-yes\"><i class=\"fusion-li-icon awb-magazine-angle-right-solid\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/span><div class=\"fusion-li-item-content\"><b>Step 6: Mounting Solar Panels: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finally, the solar panels need to be mounted on the mounting structure.
