Solar panel price Kerala

Public sentiment in solar energy has changed a lot from the last decade due to the decline in solar panel price in kerala. The downward trend in rooftop solar panel prices in Kerala came to an end in 2021 mainly due to the GST rate hike from 5% to 12% since October. Solar panel price is expected to increase again in 2022 since there is a plan to levy 25% to 40% customs duty on components for solar panel manufacturing

How to reduce your electricity bill ?

1, Switch to energy-efficient appliances

Using LED lights for the home lighting system, BLDC fans, replacing your old refrigerator, inverter batteries, water pump, water heater, air conditioner, etc. with new power-saving models can help a lot. You should also inspect wiring and switch boxes for power efficiency

2, Generate electricity

Solar panels can overcome consumers limitation in saving electricity by producing electricity

Solar power plants are the best renewable energy source for domestic consumers nowadays, thanks to the new technologies and government subsidies. There are mainly three categories of a solar system for domestic consumers those are off-grid, on-grid types, and hybrid solar systems

Despite the better efficiency and performance offered by the imported brands, many Keralites prefer to go for Indian made panels due to the slightly discounted price along with the service and support they expected to get during the 25 years of warranty 

Leading Indian manufacturers of solar panels are Waree,  Vikram, TATA Power, Adani, etc., since basic materials required for manufacture are imported mainly from China, international brands like Panasonic, Canadian Solar, Trina, Jinko, etc., have been able to sell their panels close to the price of locally made panels.

polycrystalline panels have been used for various KSEB solar projects in Kerala, advanced version of monocrystalline solar panel, mono-perc solar panels are getting the most preferred type for rooftop PV solar installations in Kerala nowadays.

Types of solar installations for your home in Kerala

3 types of solar systems are mainly used in rooftop solar plants in Kerala

Off grid solar power system

In an off-grid PV system, power output from solar panels is stored in batteries, making it more expensive, system size depends mainly on the power rating of appliances how long you run them

On grid solar system

Since the power output is connected to the grid without battery storage, grid-connected solar PV systems are more popular now due to the low maintenance and installation cost. On-grid PV solar system size to be decided based on your annual power consumption and future demand

Hybrid solar system

A hybrid system is similar to an on-grid system with solar energy storage. The hybrid inverter has a DC power output to charge the storage batteries, since grid-connected system does not produce energy during KSEB power failures as a safety precaution, the hybrid solar system generates power and recharges the batteries during such a scenario
