Solar panel FAQ for Patna

Straight answers about kW, generation, subsidy, net metering, batteries and maintenance.

12expert answers
01How many units does 1 kW generate?

A preliminary Patna planning range is about 100–130 kWh per month, but shade, tilt, temperature, losses and downtime change actual energy.

02How do I size from my bill?

Use twelve months of kWh units and tariff, then model site generation. Bill amount alone mixes fixed charges, taxes and different rates.

03Does on-grid solar work during a power cut?

Normally no. Anti-islanding shuts a standard grid-tied inverter down. Backup requires a compatible hybrid/off-grid architecture and protected-load design.

04What roof area is needed?

Allow roughly 90–120 ft² per kW as an early check, then perform an actual module layout including shade, setbacks and access.

05What is DCR?

It is a domestic-content condition under specified programmes, not an efficiency grade. Verify exact cells/modules and current scheme rules.

06What is ALMM?

It is MNRE's approved list of PV module models and manufacturers under the applicable order. Match exact model and effective status.

07How much subsidy will I receive?

Check the live PM Surya Ghar portal for current eligibility and amount. Do not deduct an old chart or verbal promise from the purchase price.

08What is net metering?

An approved meter arrangement records import and export under the applicable Bihar regulations and DISCOM process.

09Monocrystalline, bifacial or TOPCon?

These describe different features. Compare certified performance, temperature coefficient, bifacial conditions, warranty, size and project economics.

10Do panels need cleaning?

Clean when soiling measurably affects output, using the manufacturer-approved safe method. Dust, tilt, rain and nearby construction affect frequency.

11How long do panels last?

Performance warranties are commonly long-term, but exact product and installation warranties differ. Inverters and other components have separate life and warranty.

12How do I verify quality?

Review make/model, BIS/ALMM/DCR evidence where applicable, inverter compliance, SLD, structure, earthing, test records, serials and warranties.

Still unsure which system fits?

Send your actual roof, bill, water and usage data for a preliminary review.
