What to keep in mind when purchasing Solar Panel

Hello Friends, in this article today, we are going to talk about the solar system and solar panels, and also we will tell you some main points today, which if you ever go to buy a solar panel.

What is solar energy?

Solar energy means energy from the sun. When we collect energy from the sun's rays in one place, this process is called solar energy.

The special thing about solar energy is that it is never-ending energy.

What are solar systems and a solar panel?

Solar System - The set of all the equipment that is needed to generate electricity with the help of solar energy is called a solar system.

Generally, there are many devices inside a solar system, such as inverter, battery, solar panels, solar charger, etc.

Solar Panel - There are many small cells inside the solar panel, on which if the sun's rays fall, these cells convert that solar energy into electricity.

The solar panel gives us electricity in DC(Direct Current) by not giving electricity in AC(Alternating Current) used in our house. So now we need an inverter to convert this DC into AC.

And with this, if you also want to backup electricity at your house, that means if we can use our device even after the electricity is cut off, then we also have to install a battery.

When we go to take all these devices from the market, then we see a lot of solar companies in front of us and many questions related to these companies come between us.

For example, which is the company that gives us all the equipment used in the solar system.

If you know the luminous company better then this company provides us all types of solar solutions as well as many electrical home devices. But right now we only talk about their solar products, it gives us all solar products like monocrystalline and polycrystalline solar panels, Solar UPS, Solar Inverter, Solar charger & controller, batteries. You can see all these products by visiting their website luminous.

If you are ever confused about which size solar system you want to install, then for this you can easily go to their website and take the help of Solar Calculator for free.

Solar Panel Buying Tips

Things to keep in mind when purchasing Solar Panel-

1. Type of Packaging - You should see whether the packaging is properly to handle the transport of the solar panel you are going to buy.

Here Luminous comes to know that their solar panels is given the protection of 5 Ply layering. And the panel is also given corner protection.

2. Warranty on Panel- Be sure to check the warranty of the solar panel you are going to get. The same if you take the LUMINOUS Solar panel, this company gives us 5 years in solar panels below 300 watts and 12 years product warranty in panels above 300 watts and a performance warranty of up to 25 years.

This means that you can remain tension-free about the performance of the panel for 25 years.

3. BIS Sticker- Before you buy any solar panel, you must check this BIS certification sticker, this BIS Sticker tells us that this solar panel has gone through many different types of testing and it is a best-class solar panel.

4. Anti-PID technology- This anti-PID technology is largely ignored, but it is a very important point inside a solar panel.

PID resistance Technology

PID stands for potential-induced degradation. Caused by‚ stray currents triggered by certain climate conditions; the phenomenon can cause substantial power loss but with PID Resistance Technology.

If you understand that if you do not have anti-PID technology on your solar panel, then a lot of the output power of your solar panel will go into loss. So if you want your solar panel to give you more power in the output, then you must check this anti-PID technology while buying the solar panel.

And if we talk about the LUMINOUS panel back then we get to see both anti-PID technology and BIS certification.

4. AAA Back Sheet Class- All types of solar panels are placed on top of one type of sheet, it is very important to have a back sheet, as it helps to strengthen the panel to provide the back sheet itself.

In all the solar panels of LUMINOUS, you get to see AAA Back Sheet Class, which is very helpful in increasing the life and efficiency of the panel.

5. Superior EVA encapsulation- EVA is the full name of Ethylene Vinyl Acetate, eliminating the losses between the solar cell and the tempered glass and providing better strength and protection. This EVA layer also plays a very important role in the panel, so you must also see this point with the new solar panel.

6. High-Quality Anti-reflective Glass-Agar

If your solar panel is of a good company like luminous or loom solar, then the glass of your solar panel must have anti-reflective film. This improves the transmission of the panel by reducing the reflectivity on the glass surface.

7. Aluminum Frame Sealing- A good company's solar panel comes with an aluminum frame that is sealed with the help of a sealant so that the solar panel can avoid air bubbles, dust, and moisture. And at the same time, the aluminum frame maintains the robustness of the solar module.

8. Grade A solar cells- You must see the solar cells in your panel whether they are Grade A cells or not. Grade A cell is the latest technology with the help of which your solar generates up to 5% more power.

9. IP 67 rated solar panel- This point tells you the solar panel's IP rating, whether your solar panel is waterproof or not. It is also important to have an IP rating 67 for your solar panel.

10. Junction Box- The junction box is the part of the solar panel where the solar connection is connected. Therefore Junction Box should be waterproof and completely sealed like solar panels, meaning Junction Box should also be with IP 67.

11. Premium MC4 connectors - If you want a good and secure connection, then your solar panel should already have MC4 connectors. Luminous and loom solar already gives MC4 connectors and 1 meter DC wire in its panel.

12. Large Drainage Holes- Apart from this, on a good solar panel, you are also given big holes to drain the water.

13. Technical Details on Sticker behind the panel- After looking at all these 13 points, you have to see the technical sticker on the back sheet of the panel. On this sticker, we get to see the technical details of the panel like Vmp, Voc, Isc, Imp, Voltage, Wattage Rating, etc.

14. Test Report behind the panel- With this technical sticker, a good solar company always employs a performance report. With the help of this performance report, you can monitor how the panel performs over time.

15. Excellent Low Light Performance- Here one thing about LUMINOUS solar panel is that it gives you all these 14 features as well as a high-quality glass on the solar panel, which is designed in this way. That solar panel can give you better performance and efficiency even under low light conditions.
