Unlike fossil fuels, which we use daily to generate energy, solar power could be used to generate sustainable, clean energy that is environmentally benign.

Because fossil fuels are non-renewable, they will eventually run out.

As a result, humanity must pool its resources to be ready for the day when non-renewable energy sources run out — that will only occur if solar power is used.

We shall discuss why solar power is vital for individuals, nations, and the entire ecosystem in this article.

1. Generating Solar Power is Easy

Have you ever wondered what would happen if we ran out of natural gas and oil?

Daily, why should anyone be able to function?

Almost everything would be lost, including electricity, transportation, the internet, as well as other amenities. That is where solar energy fits in: it can be produced using sunshine. We can easily create power because we have plenty of sunlight. This is accomplished by the use of solar panels, which capture the sun's light and convert it to energy. That energy can be utilised to produce electricity, among other things. We would never run out of sunlight, unlike the other sources of energy. As a result, solar electricity will be available and simple to utilise for a long time.

2. Solar Power Is Clean and Safe

Fossil fuels and other sources of energy can be difficult to manage, and tragic accidents can occur, putting lives at risk. Furthermore, incidents using fossil fuels might result in damage bills totalling millions of dollars. Solar electricity, on either hand, is both easy and safe to use. Solar power is linked to a limited number of (perhaps non-existent) mishaps. Solar electricity is a natural and environmentally benign source because it is generated by sunshine. In the long run, relying on fossil fuels for energy can be harmful to the environment, as gas emissions contribute to the greenhouse effect, which would be a worldwide concern for many countries. Fossil fuel emissions have an impact on the quality of our water, air, and food. The more we burn, the more other resources get polluted, and our health is jeopardised. According to estimates, as pollution worsens, our world will continue to lose animal and plant species. If pollution proceeds, humanity will have lost more species in the next 60 million years than we have in the previous 60 million.

3. Solar Power Will Cut Down on Your Bills

With the advancement of technology and the growth of consumer culture, many individuals are finding it difficult to pay their electrical and utility bills, which may be rather large at times. Individuals can reduce their electric bills and save money by using solar power. "But what if it rains or snows?" may be a common sceptic's question. "What if the sun doesn't shine?" Numerous solar panels are now constructed and classified according to performance, size, and other variables. Larger solar panels can capture a greater amount of sunshine, which will almost always result in an energy excess. This solar panel would be able to produce more energy than the individual's home consumes, with the remainder being conserved for rainy, dreary days. Your utility bills would remain unpredictable with electricity because it is entirely dependent upon your consumption rate. Using solar power and solar panels, however, you will not only be able to fully eliminate energy expenses, but you will also be able to foresee any bills that you may have to pay. It's time to use solar energy to reduce your utility bills.

4. Can Be Used for A Variety of Tasks

Solar energy and Rooftop solar panels are well-known for their versatility. You can use photovoltaic solar panels to generate electricity or thermal solar panels to heat your home or business. Solar panels, unlike electricity, do not give access to the power grid. Solar energy can help poor countries and country regions clean water, provide heat, and other services. A large number of individuals who do not have access to energy or clean water can now be helped thanks to the various applications of solar panels. Another unexpected benefit of solar power and panels is that they might increase the value of your home. This may appear unusual at first, but because solar-powered homes have no utility expenditures, they are appealing to purchasers. Solar-powered homes appear to purchasers and leasing agents to be comparable to homes with reduced property taxes. Finally, having solar panels placed in your home may increase the cost of your home. Get install solar panels from the best company in India. 

5. Low Maintenance

Solar power and solar panels, unlike electricity cables and other items, require little to no upkeep and the little hassle there can be further minimised with MYSUN Assure - 25 yr service support from MYSUN. You only need to clean them on a routine basis to keep them in good shape. If you don't like cleaning or are concerned about damaging your solar panel, then you hire a cleaning service. Cleansing and housekeeping is a business that is developing at a quicker rate than it has ever been. As a result, finding someone to wash your solar panels and you for a nominal price isn't difficult. Furthermore, the majority of solar panel manufacturers include a lifetime warranty (20 - 30 years). There will be no parts to replace, so there isn't much opportunity for error. It's possible that only one part has to be replaced (every ten years). This section is in charge of transforming energy into electricity. Apart from that, there isn't much that can be modified. Again, finding organisations that provide services at reasonable pricing isn't difficult.

To summarise, solar energy benefits not just the environment, and also individuals, small and large businesses, and governments. Solar energy can provide numerous benefits, like reduced carbon footprint, lower expenses, and much more.

 

While the environmental benefits of going solar are well documented, and it is widely considered to be a viable solution to help us overcome the rising problem of climate change, one often overlooked advantage of going solar is the financial benefits it brings. When you are producing your own electricity using your rooftop solar system, you are inherently not dependent on the local electricity supply helping you save up to 80%* on your electricity bill monthly. Using net-metering, you can potentially also export the excessive power that you may have produced and further import it at the night time when your system is not producing the energy. 

Another point to note is that for a rooftop solar system, the tariff for the next 25 years is decided at the time you sign the PPA (Power Purchase Agreement). This potentially insulates you from inflation and shocking rise in price of electricity due to external factors like the coal crisis the country is going through helping you to plan your expenses. Most of the solar systems, depending on their size and capacity have a payback period of about 3-4 years. This means, for all practical purposes, you are going to be producing your own power and consuming it for free. 

Let’s try and understand the financial benefits of going solar through our in-house developed tool, which is the MYSUN Solar Calculator and give you a quick snapshot of your solar savings potential within ten seconds. All you need to do is input your location, electricity bill amount and the category of your establishment and you have all the information you need to make an informed decision about going solar. 

We will take an example of a residential home in New Delhi at Vasant Kunj, which is spending about INR 6,000 every month on an average on their electricity bill. This amount but obviously will be higher in summers, owing to the ACs that will be operating and slightly lower in the times of winter when the power utilization is lower. On that note, you would be interested to note that your solar system is perfectly capable of handling all the loads of your property, provided the capacity of the system while designing is appropriate. This is why at MYSUN, our engineering team spends a lot of time analysing your electricity bill and personalising a solution that gives you most economical yet, highest possible returns on your investment making your journey towards solarization comfortable and rewarding.

 

Let’s get back to the example we were talking about. For the bill amount of INR 6,000 a month, the solar calculator recommends a system of 6.3kW, which will allow you to save almost 82% on your monthly electricity expenses. Your system will pay itself back in less than 5 years. In fact, you can utilise this link to be able to go through our findings. 

Not only this, you can avail a variety of financial offerings that MYSUN has to make your journey even more affordable on your pocket.

So, there you have it, you stand to save Lakhs and Lakhs of Rupees over the 25 years lifetime period of your solar system. So go ahead, and give your MYSUN Solar Advisor a call and get started on this journey of mega savings.

Sun is an incredible, alternative, and renewable source of energy-giving fuel to life on earth with clean and sustainable energy. The sun’s energy is convertible into Solar Energy through solar photovoltaic modules. This source is fast picking up as more and more people are finding the truth about solar energy and getting rooftop solar systems installed at their homes and workplaces. The system is very cost-effective and can save up to 80% of your power utility bills every month.

However, there are many misconceptions about solar energy and the beliefs that is expensive, complicated, unreliable, etc. Knocking the bottom out, many disprove major persistent myths about solar energy.

Myth # 1: Solar panels work under sunshine only.

The most common myth is that solar panels don’t work in odd weather conditions and need bright sunny days for solar to make sense. That’s not true, in fact, some places with extreme cold and cloudy conditions, like Germany, are one of the world leaders in solar energy power systems, producing more solar power than the United States.

The reason is solar panels need sunlight but not the heat of it to absorb energy and produce electricity. Solar Systems are efficient enough to work even in cold or monsoon conditions. As long as some sunlight reaches the earth, solar technology can be leveraged thoroughly, whether it’s raining or snowy days. So even if you live in the coldest areas in the country and you want to use a sustainable source and save a healthy amount of money every month, Go Solar without being shadowed with any myth.

Myth # 2: It is expensive.

No, it is not the truth, in fact over the last couple of years, the price of solar panels has dropped considerably. More and more homeowners and commercial establishments are choosing solar energy and as the demand is increasing, the competition among the solar system companies is increasing which finally leads to low prices for the customer. Also, the centre and state governments have various lease options now to let homeowners go solar with zero up-front costs and savings on their energy bills every month. Needless to mention many buy-back options result in financial savings in the long run. So it saves you a lot in the longer run.

Myth # 3: Solar Panels are not enough power efficient.

There is a perception that solar panels are not efficient enough to power major utilities in the house or heavy pieces of equipment being used in the industry Again, we can burst this myth by giving showing you some of the major commercial houses in India being dependent upon solar energy for powering all their production needs. The experts engaged in solar power energy systems have quoted that the efficiency of the solar cell even under normal sunlight is good enough to make any heavy machines work with the utmost capability. Additionally, to mention, the U.S. military is one of the largest users of solar, relying on the technology for dependable energy to power their bases both home and abroad.

Myth # 4: The Solar Panel system is durable.

Unlikely, as with no moving parts to wear out, solar panels are very reliable. Most panels produce electricity for many years and at MYSUN, we offer a 25-year long period warranty. Actually, in many western countries first, solar systems installed in the late ’70s are still producing power today. So now you can imagine how reliable solar energy could be.

Myth # 5: Installation is complicated.

The installation is not the case. Once you show interest in getting rooftop solar installed, A dependable Solar company like us would be more than happy to help and make solar installation a seamless experience for you. At MYSUN, you can book your consultation and site visit through your mobile phone with just a few clicks. A complete comprehensive techno-commercial proposal is submitted. We take up every project on a turnkey basis taking care of various governmental compliances, permits, inspections, and related paperwork. This saves a lot of botheration and money for the customer. Therefore, you just need to take the first step of making your mind, for the rest, we are here to take care of you throughout your whole Solar Journey.

The Union Ministry of Power has released the long-awaited net metering policy for rooftop solar installation rules under the Rights of Consumers Rules 2020. The new rules allow prosumers to get net metering for up to 500 kW or the sanctioned load, whichever is less, and gross metering for loads over 500 kW. The commission has implemented time-of-day tariffs to encourage consumers to install energy storage. They can use the stored solar energy or feed it into the grid at peak hours.

With the use of net metering, net-billing, or net feed-in, the distribution licensee may install a solar energy meter to measure the gross solar energy generated by the grid-connected rooftop solar system for the purpose of renewable energy purchase obligation (RPO) credit, if any. The commissions may also allow gross metering for prosumers who choose to sell all of their generated solar energy to the distribution licensee rather than using net metering, net billing, or net feed-in. The commission will determine the feed-in tariff for gross metering in accordance with tariff laws.

Net metering for rooftop solar installations was previously limited to one megawatt (MW) until the government considered further reducing it to 10 kW in December 2020.

Several industry experts argued that prohibiting net-metering above 10 kW would be detrimental to micro, small, and medium-sized businesses operating in the rooftop segment.

The Top 5 states with the highest number of installed rooftop solar capacities in India are Rajasthan, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, and Gujarat, making close to 50% of India’s total solar capacity. Know more about each state’s solar policy.

The arrangements for net-metering, gross-metering, net-billing or net feed-in shall be in accordance with the regulations made by the State Commission, from time to time.

MYSUN’s Take

At MYSUN, we believe that amendment in the rooftop solar installation policy has a very crucial role to play when it comes to building a sustainable and prosperous nation. A progressive and clear solar policy will fast-track the decision-making process for potential consumers. Net-metering is a crucial benefit and a regressive policy posed a massive danger, especially for larger rooftops, which actually stand to benefit the most when deciding to go solar. We look forward to the positive effect that this step will bring forward.

The recent announcement by the energy minister of Maharashtra, Nitin Raut, focuses more on renewable sources of energy. The state is set to “go green” by generating 17,385MW from solar projects in the next five years.

Earlier, It was estimated that Maharashtra can generate 25,000 MW from solar projects but with this announcement coming from the energy minister, the energy department has developed a new ambitious renewable energy policy (REP) to generate 17,385MW from solar projects in the next five years.

The renewable energy policy will attract Rs 75,000 crore investment in the energy sector and other related businesses.

Also, Maharashtra electricity regulatory commission has set an ambitious target for the state to meet 25% of its demands from renewable sources over the next five years.

Based on these recent developments in Maharashtra, now is the right time to go solar and contribute our part towards a sustainable environment. Solar systems can be a great addition to offices or industrial plants as it helps in cutting down electricity bills by 80% which leads to higher savings.

MYSUN has made it easy for people to switch to solar by their different financing options.

MYSUN DPA - Defer the Cost of Solar in Easy Instalments

In this financing method, you can own the entire solar system by paying a 25 to 30 % down payment and paying the rest over 3 to 5 years based on the financing plan you choose. This enables you to enjoy the benefits of solar with reduced electricity expenditure and accelerated depreciation. In the DPA model, MYSUN has designed the plan in such a way that the amount saved monthly on the electricity bill is greater than the installments.

PPA (Power Purchase Agreement) - Pay Nothing for the Solar System

In this model, you don’t have to pay any upfront cost for the solar system. You will have to sign an agreement called Power Purchase Agreement(PPA) with your solar installer or the third party company to buy the electricity generated from the solar system. The agreement fixes a tariff for the next 15 to 25 years.

The benefits of adopting solar energy by homeowners are well documented. From saving up to 80% on monthly electricity bills to promoting a sustainable society, going solar has proven to be a wonderful investment for homeowners across the country. Mr Sushil Sharma, a homeowner who decided to go solar with MYSUN in Greater Noida, shared his experience in a video here:

It is for the wide availability of solar energy that the installation of PV rooftop solar systems has grown at an impressive rate in the country, increasing from a capacity of 5 MW in 2010~11, to over 5000 MW in 2019~20.

If you are a homeowner you must have already evaluated the benefits of going solar. Being an expensive purchase decision that you will have to live with for 25-years, it is prudent to do a thorough research before making a move. With this blog post, we will bring forth the answers to 11 crucial questions which you must know before installing solar panels on your residential property. We are sure these answers will make your solar journey easy.

1. Can you meet 100% of your residential power requirement with Solar Energy?

Yes, with a well-engineered solar system, you can generate enough electricity required to meet the complete power requirement of your house. However, there are certain factors that may influence your energy generation capacity otherwise. Factors such as your available shadow-free roof area, your sanctioned load, your power consumption, and the solar policy of your state. Here’s how:

• If the shadow-free area available at your rooftop is less than the area required to install the number of panels needed to meet all your energy needs, then you might have to go for a low capacity solar system. In such a scenario, the electricity generated by your solar system might fall short of your total household requirement.
• Solar policies of most India states confine the installation of residential solar systems to be less than or equal to the sanctioned load, especially in the case of on-grid solar systems. In such a case, if your power requirement is more than your sanctioned load then again with the solar system you install, you might not be able to meet all your energy requirements. The good news is that you can apply for an increment of your sanctioned load with your DISCOM and thereafter install a system size as per your requirement.
• If your household energy consumption increases drastically after you have installed a solar system of a particular size, then again the energy generated by your solar system might fall short. In order to tackle this, you can later increase the size of your solar system keeping a note of your shadow-free roof area, your sanctioned load and your state’s solar policy.

2. How much can solar save you on your residential electricity bills?

For residential power consumers, the monthly savings from solar can be as high as 80% and in some cases even more. However, before you order your solar system you should try to determine your savings in absolute values by as much as possible. The reason being - the savings from solar is relative to the unique energy profile of your home. You can estimate your savings my running the MYSUN Solar calculator and taking a site survey from MYSUN Solar Engineers.

3. Is your house eligible for availing net-metering? If yes, when should you apply for it?

Net-metering is a crucial functionality that increases savings from solar if you go solar with an on-grid or hybrid solar system. It helps you export the surplus electricity generated by your solar system to the grid in exchange for compensation.

Currently, the facility is available for homeowners across all states in India. However, the benefits from it may differ depending on the tariffs laid down by the respective states.

You can apply for net metering both before and after your solar PV system installation. However, for convenience, we suggest you apply for net-metering before the system installation.

4. How much will it cost to install your residential rooftop solar system?

The cost of solar systems has fallen dramatically over the past 10 years. To put it in perspective, a typical 1 KW Solar system which was available for approximately INR 145/Wp in the year 2000 is today available for approximately INR 35/Wp. The final cost however varies depending on the quality of components, the expertise of the solar installer and the scale of the project. Since residential solar systems are smaller in size, the per KW cost tends to be higher compared to commercial/industrial solar systems, given the lower scale of operations. The key here is to not compromise on the quality of the components and the expertise of your installer. Benefits from solar are reaped in 25 years, and you don’t want to have any unpleasant experience for a short term gain. To know the estimated cost of your optimum residential solar system, you can run the MYSUN Solar Calculator here.

5. Is there a way to make the cost of your residential solar system more affordable?

Yes, you have the option to make this cost of solar systems more affordable with the MYSUN Residential Solar Financing Option - The MYSUN Flexi Pay. When you go solar with MYSUN, you can defer the cost of solar in easy monthly instalments. If you would like, you even get to choose a solar loan from numerous MYSUN partner banks at attractive interest rates.

6. How soon will your solar system break even?

With a well-configured residential solar system, you can expect your break-even period to be achieved within 3~4 years. The breakeven period is however dependent on the system size and the DISCOM tariff rate of your state. The point to note here is that since the returns from solar are in the form of savings, the returns are assured. To know your estimated return on investment and payback period you can run the MYSUN Solar Calculator.

7. Is your home rooftop a good candidate for installing solar panels?

Checking the durability of your rooftop is extremely important. Your rooftop should be equipped to withstand the weight of the panels and the mounting structures. If your rooftop is not firm, don’t consider going solar until you have repaired it well. Also, since most houses in India are built too close to each other, it is imperative to check that your rooftop is free from any shadows being cast by nearby buildings/objects.

8. Will you be eligible to claim tax benefits on your residential solar investment?

Currently, there are no tax benefits available for residential power consumers. However, the savings on electricity bills themselves are so significant that the investment is worth going for.

9. Can you shift your residential solar system to a different location?

Yes, you can always uninstall and reinstall your solar system in a new location. However, the attempt made should be a careful one so that no damages are caused. Do check the way to go ahead in detail with your solar installer.

10. Who should you choose to buy your residential solar system from?

Your solar installer will be your partner in crime throughout the 25 years of your solar journey. It is therefore extremely important to choose the right solar installer in whom you can have faith in times of need. The best way to start is by identifying their local and national presence, followed by the expertise of their team, the projects they have commissioned and the reputation they enjoy among their stakeholders. Talk to other homeowners who have gone solar with them. At MYSUN, our team has helped numerous homeowners realize their true potential of solar. And it is this invaluable effort from our team which has garnered great reviews from our customer on platforms like Google and Facebook.

11. How can you ensure the good health of your residential solar system for 25 years?

Ensuring regular service and maintenance is the key. Residential solar systems are considerably smaller in size and can therefore be maintenance by oneself. However, it is suggested to opt for a service and maintenance package as it eliminates the risk involved in the job and ensures timely action. Some other ways to ensure the good health of your solar system is to go for premium quality modules as they are more durable than the regular ones and to opt for solar insurance as it safeguards your system against events like fire, theft and burglary. With MYSUN’s exhaustive operations and maintenance package - the MYSUN Care, homeowners get an option to avail 25-year assured service solution at a minimum payable amount. You can opt for it and lead a worry-free solar journey by leaving the maintenance of your solar system at the hands of our operations and maintenance team.

New Features of the MYSUN Solar Calculator

In addition to the already existing functionality which fetches you your solar savings, optimum system size, required investment, and return on investment, the new features added to the upgraded version of the MYSUN Solar Calculator can be grouped broadly in these three categories:

1.Complete New Interface for a Better User Experience

2. Exclusive Financing Fold for clear comparison of your Financing / Ownership Options

3. A Complementary detailed report for more flexible assessment

1. Complete New UI for a Better User Experience

User experience is critical for gaining affinity towards any product that we use. The upgraded MYSUN Solar Calculator therefore has an improved experience at the core of its build. The new MYSUN Solar Calculator brings several advanced personalization options giving the users a complete control of their solarization requirement. The upgraded version provides you a one-stop destination for all your solar calculations. The neat design groups and divides the features into separate folds making it easy for you to navigate through both - the technical and financial aspects of the output.

First Fold with Basic Features of the MYSUN Solar Calculator

While the first fold displays an easy to comprehend basic assessment of your solar potential, the second fold displays the advanced customizable features, making it easy for you to input the values as per their unique architectural requirement and check the impact of these adjustments on your energy generation, savings and returns from solar. For example, if your rooftop structure is sloping instead of flat, with the new calculator you can now check its impact on your system’s energy generation capacity and thereby your returns from solar. Based on this you can determine if you need to opt for a higher system size to meet your power requirements, given you have sufficient roof area and flexibility to increase the system size as per your sanctioned load and your state’s solar policy.

You can also check your precise solar potential by adjusting the sanctioned load, connection type i.e low tension/ high tension, net-metering preference, available roof area, solar energy consumption and shadow casting objects as per your specific requirement. You can even check your savings from solar as per the orientation of solar modules i.e. east, west, north or south facing. The new MYSUN solar calculator thus, gives you the ability to access your benefits from solar more accurately than before.

Second Fold with Advanced Features of the MYSUN Solar Calculator

2. An Exclusive Financing Fold for Solar Financing Comparisons

The improved MYSUN Solar calculator now carries an exclusive Financing fold to demonstrate the various financing options which you can opt for while going solar. In a well demonstrated comparison between CAPEX(Capital Expenditure), DPA(Deferred Payment Agreement) and PPA(Power Purchase Agreement) models of financing/buying solar, the financing fold illustrates the financial gains that you can be reaping or missing out on by choosing a particular solar financing option.

For example, if you are a commercial category power consumer from Delhi with an average monthly electricity bill of INR 1 Lakh, the calculator shows how your savings from solar will be the highest if you went solar under CAPEX model of buying solar than the DPA or PPA.

The financing fold also shows you the Payback period and the Equity IRR of your solar investment, thereby helping you compare and find your optimum solar financing/buying model as per your financial need/situation. For example, as shown by the calculator below, a commercial business unit from Delhi with an average electricity bill of INR 1 Lakh can expect to earn the payback from its solar investment in 1.9 years in case of CAPEX and 2.2 years in case of DPA. Post this timeframe, the business can enjoy electricity from solar virtually for free.

In addition to these, the financing fold also brings forth what often gets overlooked when choosing an optimum solar buying model, i.e the Levelized Cost of Power to you - the average per unit cost of energy which you will incur in each of these solar financing/buying models in the next 25 years of your solar journey. In the case of the above example, the levelized cost of power for a commercial set up in Delhi with INR 1 Lakh monthly power bill will be the lowest in case of CAPEX followed by DPA, PPA and then the grid electricity:

3. The Complimentary Detailed Report to give you more flexibility
