About
The climate in Varanasi, characterized by distinct seasonal variations and high solar irradiance potential, makes rooftop solar installations a viable energy solution for both residential and commercial properties. Customers in this area often benefit from solar power due to the consistent daytime energy demand across various sectors. When assessing a potential installation site, a thorough site survey is necessary to evaluate the roof's structural integrity and orientation. Furthermore, a detailed shading analysis is critical, as nearby structures or foliage can significantly reduce the energy yield of the array. Based on these assessments, the system's maximum achievable capacity, measured in kilowatts (kW), is determined to ensure the design aligns with the available, unshaded roof area. For optimal performance, the final system size recommendation must account for the specific roof dimensions and the prevailing shading patterns observed during the year.
