- Eligibility of your terrace: First and foremost ask these questions to yourself:
-Can my roof take the extra load of the solar system?
-Are there any big obstructions that are leaving their shadow on my roof for a big part of the day?
-What about wind load? And can it withstand all seasons? - Research carefully about your needs: A solar power installation is a purchase of a lifetime. It is both an asset as well as a clean energy resource. Find out what kind of product and which developer suits you the best.
- Investigate your energy efficiency: Owners must investigate their energy use and consider potential efficiency upgrades. Before starting the process of powering your business with solar energy, make site energy audits like how much power you use for machinery or appliances, lighting, heating or cooling.
- Warranty management: A solar system consists of various components. Typically, solar panels have a product warranty that covers manufacturing defects for a period of 10 years. It also has a performance warranty that the manufacturer provides which guarantees a certain power generation for a period of about 25 years.
- Subsidy offered by the government: The government is really trying to get people interested in investing in solar energy. Therefore Central & State governments offer subsidies for installation of commercial solar panels.
