Rooftop solar systems are the preferred choice for urban and rural homes, these systems convert sun’s energy into electricity and reduce their dependence on grid electricity and lower their electricity bills and reduce greenhouse gas emissions and address climate change. Adoption of rooftops is increasing in the last five years due to advancements in technology and a decrease in solar Modules prices.
In the last 25 years, the number of rooftop solar systems with Websol solar modules in India and Europe’s residential segment is working excellently and leading to great savings for homeowners. Mono PERC technology has more than 70% global market share and continue to dominate in next 7 years because technology is matured and product quality is consistence , wafers and other required material is available so production scale up is easy .
Websol offers W5500-525-550 Bifacial solar Modules for Rooftop solar system , W5500 is made from 182mm Mono PERC cells . Mono PERC technology gives 20% plus module efficiency. These multi-busbar modules give low series resistance and improved current collection. These higher efficiency modules reduce BOS cost , LCOE , payback period and need less roof space.
W5500-525-550 is the best suited for rooftop installation due to its size(LXWXH) 2278mmx1134mm X34mm and weight 29Kg . Gallium doped silicon wafers are used to manufacture Mono PERC cells which are used in this module to reduce light induced degradation.
To promote Solar Rooftop installation government has implemented several policies through The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE ) providing subsidies on installation and net metering to allow consumers to sell excess electricity back to grid. Recently government launched The national Portal for Rooftop Solar .
The National Portal for Rooftop Solar is an online platform developed by the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) in India. The portal is aimed at promoting the use of rooftop solar energy in the country by providing a one-stop-shop for all the information related to rooftop solar systems.
