Technical FAQs 4

What is a rooftop solar photovoltaic system?

A rooftop solar photovoltaic (PV) system uses solar panels mounted on the roof of a building to convert sunlight into electricity. Rooftop solar systems rely on the photovoltaic effect, where cells generate electricity in response to sunlight.

How does a rooftop solar PV system work?

rts solar energy into electricity. This can be used to meet the building’s own energy consumption requirements or, in certain situations, fed back into the electrical grid.Rooftop solar PV systems are distributed electricity generation options, which help to meet a building’s energy needs, or provide electricity withi

Can solar panels be installed on a roof?

By placing panels on a rooftop, solar panels are optimally exposed to sunlight and produce enough electricity to power homes and buildings. First, a group of solar panels is installed on a roof, typically at an angle to absorb maximum sunlight.

Are rooftop solar systems a good investment?

Rooftop solar systems entitle owners to many financial benefits, like saving money on electricity bills, increasing the value of the property, and receiving tax credits. Rooftop solar systems enable property owners to be partially or fully ‘energy independent,’ switch to renewable energy, and reduce carbon emissions.
