Solar Panel

Introduction to Polycab Solar Panels

At Polycab, our goal is to make clean energy accessible to everyone. We harness the power of sunlight to offer smart, reliable, and affordable solar energy solutions. Our solar panels for the home are designed to help reduce electricity bills while supporting a greener planet. Though installing solar panels is an investment, it’s a meaningful first step toward a more sustainable lifestyle. 

What Are Solar Panels? Understanding How They Work

Solar panels convert sunlight into electricity. When the sunlight hits the panel, it captures the sunlight and converts it into usable electricity. Made out of semiconductor materials, solar panels release electrons when exposed to sunlight. This energy (DC) is converted into AC (alternating current) by an inverter, which then powers your lights, appliances, and devices—cleanly and quietly, straight from the sun.

Types of Solar Panels for Homes

We offer a diverse range of panels tailored to your needs: 

Polycrystalline Solar Panels

Our poly-crystalline solar systems are designed to provide cost-effective, clean energy. Our panel ranges from 315W to 335W with 72-cell configurations. With high-grade raw materials, we deliver a warranty that ensures performance even in low-light conditions. 

Monocrystalline Solar Panels

We also offer monocrystalline solar panel options with wattages ranging from 380W to 400W, ensuring superior performance. They are more durable and resistant to high temperatures. 

The Benefits of Solar Energy & Why Invest in Solar Panels for Your Home?

Investing in solar energy offers numerous advantages:

• Switching to alternative energy reduces the carbon footprint, helping the environment towards a cleaner and greener future.

• Residential rooftops equipped with solar panels see a significant increase in property values as buyers recognize the potential to save money on electricity bills.

• Once installed, there is minimal hassle, as the solar panels come with a 25-year performance warranty and are highly durable.

• Solar electricity is cost-effective, especially with increasing electricity rates in certain areas. 

How to Choose the Best Solar Panels for Your Home?

Select solar panels for your home based on these factors: 

• Look for panels made with high-grade materials for long-term reliability and durability.

• Review the wattage range to match your energy needs.

• Verify if the manufacturer offers a linear performance warranty (25 years is ideal).

• Choose panels with BIS/IEC certification to ensure quality and compliance with safety standards.

•  Evaluate the solar panel's price, performance, and longevity.

What You Need to Know Before Installing Solar Panels in Your Home?

Before proceeding with solar panel installation, it's essential to understand that it's a significant investment and requires careful planning. You must consider the following things:

Calculate the Energy Consumption

To install a solar panel system, it's necessary to analyze your monthly electricity bills and the patterns of electricity usage throughout different seasons. Understanding total consumption will help you determine the system's size effectively. 

Evaluate Roof Suitability

Secondly, to ensure Polycab's optimal performance in generating solar electricity, your roof should receive an ample amount of sunlight. You must ensure that the roof is in good condition, free from damage and leakages. Additionally, check for obstructions, such as through trees or other sources. 

Compare different Solar Panel Companies

Compare top solar panel companies, check warranties, and request quotes. Choose between polycrystalline (budget-friendly), monocrystalline PERC (high efficiency), or bi-facial panels (max output) based on your home's energy needs and space.

Budget Planning

Consider the full scope of your budget. At Polycab, we help you plan better. Compare solar plate prices and explore subsidies or EMI options to make solar energy for homes more accessible.

Installation Time

Proper planning and choosing a trusted installer can help you enjoy solar electricity at home faster. Evaluate multiple solar companies based on their post-installation support, availability of certified technicians, and overall service quality.  Our expert team at Polycab ensures fast, hassle-free solar panel installation. Start using clean, reliable solar electricity sooner with minimal disruption to your routine.

Battery Storage Options

To ensure an uninterrupted solar energy supply, especially during nighttime or cloudy days, consider investing in battery storage. It's a smart move to pair solar panels with a storage system to store excess energy for use at night or during power outages. 

Frequently Asked Questions - Solar Panels

Q. Do solar panels work during nighttime or monsoon?

A. Electricity is generated during the day, and with the help of energy-saving solutions, such as batteries, it can also provide electricity at night. Moreover, due to a lack of sunlight during the monsoons, the output of solar panels will be affected. The panel's efficiency is slightly reduced, but it doesn't mean it won't function well. 

Q.  What is a Polycrystalline solar panel?

A. The term "poly" means multiple, so polycrystalline means the solar panels are made from multiple silicone crystals instead of one, which is where it gets its blue-hued color. These panels are much more cost-effective because the manufacturing cost and process are less expensive, making them perfect for providing energy solutions for residential purposes. 

Q. What is a Mono PERC half-cut solar panel?

1. For these kinds of solar panels, two technologies are combined to improve the overall efficiency and output of the panel. The panels use monocrystalline and Passivated Emitter and Rear Cell technology to increase the durability of the panel, especially in low-light conditions. Ideal for rooftops with limited space options. 

Q. What do I need to look for when planning to install Solar panels?

A. When planning to install a solar panel system, here are some things to consider:

• It is essential to understand the type of solar panel suitable for your requirements. Choose a solar panel company that guides you in analyzing roof suitability, warranty details, solar panel price, and other factors. 

• As they are expensive to install, it is essential to use solar plates from reputable solar panel companies. You can consult with Polycab’s professional installers to get tailored solutions for your rooftops.
