It is a clean form of energy which reduces the carbon footprints in the atmosphere around your place. Many misconceptions are there in the market reality regarding the solar installation, but we are here to bust such myths with some scientific facts and research proofs.

Myth 1: Solar is only for rich people.

Fact: Majority of the people are in the impression that solar panel comes into the luxury segment. It isn’t true because according to the report in Economic Times, India is the cheapest producer of Solar Panels in the world. The Indian Government has realized the potential of solar panels and has already begun the production of solar panels in most of the states in India. 

Myth 2: Installing solar means cutting off from the power grid.

Fact: There is a convenience of installing an off-grid solar energy system. Usually, most of the solar panels are in the grid system. It allows a consumer to use solar energy produced by the solar panel in the day-time, and when the sun is down, the house can withdraw the energy from the grid. With the help of net metering policy in your respective state, you can use the electricity from the grid for your requirement and pay for what you use.

Myth 3: Solar panels require too much maintenance.

Fact: House solar panel can last a very long time – usually it works up to 30 years, and most of them are typically covered with long warranties. Maintaining a solar installation is not that hectic if you have a quality service provider. Dust and debris can degrade the solar efficiency up to 35 per cent; therefore, it is better to keep it maintained.

Myth 4: Solar energy system requires too much land.

Fact: Renewable energy like solar doesn’t move around. Its footprints are smaller as they are mostly mounted on rooftops.. Around 1KW of solar installation requires 100 square feet or lesser. 

Myth 5: Cloudy weather can be a problem.

Fact: Solar energy is all about energy from the sun. It can be accessible to everywhere the sunshine is reaching the earth’s surface. Sometimes bad weather can be a problem, but that doesn’t mean your house won’t get any power supply. As your home is a part of a grid, you get an uninterrupted power supply in case of failure. Solar energy works all around the year. It is a reliable source of energy for all electricity production. Indian weather is more of a humid where the sunshine is available all around the year.
