A solar panel converts sunlight into electricity that can be used to power homes, offices, appliances, and other electrical systems. Solar panels help reduce electricity bills while providing clean and renewable energy.
Most solar panels for home and commercial use have a lifespan of around 25 years or more. Luminous solar panels come with up to 30 years of performance warranty to ensure reliable energy generation over time.
The best solar panels for residential use depend on your budget, roof space, and energy requirements. There are primarily three technologies of panels available in the market: Polycrystalline, Monocrystalline and TOPCon panels.
Luminous offers panels with capacities from 170 Wp to 635 Wp spread across different technologies like Polycrystalline, MonoPERC and TOPCon
These options are suitable for both residential and commercial applications.
Modern solar panels generally offer efficiency levels between 15% and 23%. Performance may reduce slightly due to heat, dust, or shading, but proper installation and regular cleaning help maintain optimal output in Indian weather conditions.
Yes. Solar panels for homes continue generating electricity during cloudy weather and winter seasons. Although output may be lower compared to bright sunny days, modern panels can still capture diffused sunlight effectively.
Standard on grid systems shut down during power cuts for safety reasons. However, hybrid or battery-backed systems can continue supplying electricity during outages using stored solar energy.
Typically, around 80 sq. ft of shadow-free roof space is needed per kW of solar capacity. For example, a 5 kW solar panel installation generally requires about 400 sq. ft of roof area.
PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana is a government initiative launched to encourage rooftop solar adoption by offering subsidies and promoting affordable solar energy for households across India.
