The amount of electricity produced by a solar power plant depends on various factors such as the size of the solar panels, the quality of the panels, the amount of sunlight received, the time of day, and the weather conditions. On average, a solar power plant can generate between 100 to 500 watts of electricity per square meter of solar panel surface area. A 1kW Solar Power Plant on a average produces 4 units of electricity per day.

Solar panels can generate electricity even during monsoon and winter, but the amount of power may vary depending on the quality of Solar Panels, weather conditions and the sunlight hours. Solar panels work more efficiently in cold conditions than in hot, but they may produce less power in the short days of winter. Solar panels can still absorb light on cloudy days, but not as much as on sunny days. Solar panels may not work well if they are covered by snow or heavy rain.

The kind of appliances that you can use on solar power depends on the size of your solar power system. A small solar system would be able to power small appliances while a larger solar system would be able to power larger appliances and even homes or businesses.
Here are some examples of appliances that can be powered by solar power:

• Lights - LED lights are a great choice for lighting up your home or outdoor space.
• Fans - Small and energy-efficient fans can be powered by solar panels.
• Refrigerators - Energy-efficient refrigerators can be powered by solar panels, but it requires a sizeable solar system.
• Televisions and radios - These devices consume less energy and can be used with a solar system
• Computers and laptops - These devices also consume less energy and can be powered by a solar system.
• Water pumps and heaters - Higher wattage appliances like water pumps and heaters require a large solar system with batteries installed for backup power.

It's important to calculate your energy needs and evaluate your options before investing in a solar power system. RS ENTERPRISES SOLAR can help you in determining a suitable system size for your needs.

The life of a rooftop solar system depends on various factors, including the quality of the equipment and installation, maintenance, and environmental factors such as weather and shading. Typically, a well-maintained solar system can last for 25-30 years or more. Solar panels usually come with a warranty of 25 years and are designed to withstand harsh weather conditions such as hail, rain, and extreme temperatures. Inverter warranties typically last for 5-12 years. Proper maintenance, such as keeping the panels clean and checking the electrical connections, can help maximize the lifespan of a rooftop solar system.

Keeping your solar panels clean is essential to maintain their efficiency and ensure that they produce the maximum amount of electricity. Dust, dirt, and bird droppings can accumulate on solar panels over time, reducing their ability to absorb sunlight and produce electricity. Even a thin layer of dirt can cause a significant decrease in energy output. This is because solar panels work by absorbing sunlight and converting it into electricity. When the surface of the solar panels is covered in dirt or debris, it acts as a barrier between the sunlight and the solar cells, making it harder for the sunlight to penetrate the panel. Regular cleaning of your solar panels can help ensure that they are working at their optimum level and producing the maximum amount of energy. Additionally, removing dirt and debris from solar panels can help prevent damage over time, as built-up dirt can lead to scratches and other forms of wear and tear. Ultimately, keeping your solar panels clean is an essential part of maintaining the overall health and longevity of your solar system.

The annual maintenance and recurring costs are almost negligible, since there are no moving parts and the input fuel (sunlight) is free. For optimum performance, the system only requires cleaning of modules and basic preventive and corrective maintenance. However, for off-grid systems where batteries are used, the maintenance costs are higher on account of battery replacement every 3-5 years. To ensure high generation and low maintenance cost, regular monitoring through data loggers is highly recommended. Typically, the maintenance costs for smaller Solar PV systems is about 2% of the initial system cost, and for larger systems is about 1% of the initial cost.
