After all, the goal is to give you the confidence to embrace the green energy revolution and enjoy the many benefits of solar power. 

So, grab your sunglasses and some sunscreen, as we shed light on some interesting facts about solar panels.

 

Sustainable is attainable 

As the world faces pressing challenges like climate change and resource depletion, sustainability has become more critical than ever. Adopting renewable energy practices is essential to reduce our carbon footprint, protect and reduce dependency on natural resources, and ensure economic stability. As we look towards a more sustainable future, it propels us towards our environmental goals but also offers long-term energy security. 

 

Solar panels do not always have to be on the roof

Many a times, people wonder if it is mandatory to place a solar panel on the roof? When it comes to installing solar panels, finding the right spot with ample sunlight is the key to boosting their efficiency. For most consumers, the roof is the best choice due to limited space, but if you own a sprawling and sunny backyard, consider a ground installation for easier upkeep and potential expansion. Do make sure it is clear of any shadows cast by trees, buildings, or other tall structures. Tata Power Solar for instance, with 30+ years of experience offers custom solutions to install solar panels on your roof or ground.
