The Use, Application, and Maintenance of Solar Panels – Debunked

Solar panels use sunlight and convert solar energy in order to generate electricity. In today’s
world, where global warming and climate change are consistently increasing, we are all told to install and use solar panels. But what are the importance and use of solar panels? How do we apply and maintain these solar panels?

This article aims to shed light on these specific questions. Let’s get right into it!

Usage and Importance of solar panels

Solar panels convert solar energy (heat and energy) from the sun into electricity. It is important to have solar panels for various reasons.

1. Using a solar power plant will help minimize energy consumption significantly.
2. Solar panels are 100% inexhaustible renewable and free energy.
3. You help the environment by not contributing to global warming and climate change
   because a solar panel doesn’t cause any air or water pollution.
4. Better for the ecosystem as there is no need to use scarce fossil fuels.

Things to do before solar panel installation

1. Cost calculations – Although in today’s world (with rising global warming threats) solar
   panels are much needed, they are not cost-effective. Solar panel installations can have
   high costs (up to 40k rupees to 50k rupees).
2. Equipment needed – One needs to make a plan before installing a solar panel about the
   equipment needed such as power Inverter, and battery.
3. Size of the panel – One needs to make proper calculations on how much space would
   the solar panel acquire and the electric wire and battery size needed.

Solar panel installation

1. Before installation, remove any obstructions that may block sunlight and also make sure that no objects are casting shadows over the panels.
   
2. With the help of mounts (such as pole mounts or roof-ground mounts or flush mounts),
   one can install the solar panels on your rooftop by tightening nuts and bolts. These
   mounts provide support and sturdiness to the solar panels.
   
3. Once the solar panels are installed, then electrical wiring needs to take place. To
   connect universal connectors with the solar panels 2 types of connection are used which are series connection and parallel connection.
   
4. The next step is to connect Solar Inverter to the solar panel which will then be
   connected to the solar battery and grid in order to produce electricity.
   
5. Once all the electric wiring and connections are done, then one can start the solar
   panels by switching on the solar inverters. Most of the Inverters have digital displays
   which show stats and usage of solar units.

Maintenance of solar panels
Steps to maintaining solar panels :

1. Regular and timely cleaning of solar panels
2. Maintenance of any thermal components
3. Servicing of side equipment on an annual basis.
4. Tests and diagnosis of maintaining low power production.
5. Managing warranties and system checks on a daily basis.
6. Monitoring of energy production consistently.

Conclusion
To sum up, it is important to not only have solar panels but also maintain them in order to
protect our environment. To know more about solar panels, check with the professional Alfa
