Monsoons in India last for about 3 months from the end of June to the middle of September. This is a time when the entire country receives substantial rainfall and this is equally the best time to get started with solar panel installation.  You must be wondering how in the world monsoon would be the right time for adopting solar panel installation. Isn’t it a time when most of the time across the day would be cloudy with partial sunlight? In reality, installing solar panels in rainy season makes perfect sense with a series of advantages and smart savings. Without further ado, allow us to debunk all the queries surrounding monsoon solar panel installation and explain to you how it works.

5 Reasons Why to Go Solar

Here are the 5 reasons why you should adopt solar in the monsoons:

Perfect Testing Stage

Solar panel installation in the monsoon offers the best testing stage for observing and analysing the performance. This is because, during the monsoons, the weather keeps changing from coming with intense sunlight to occasionally turning cloudy/ dark and sometimes raining profoundly. The variety of weather conditions enables installers to analyse the solar panel during the rainy season and come up with a number of evaluations, which helps them to optimise the solar system performance.

Rainfall Cleans the Panels

Solar energy during the rainy season remains consistent thanks to the panels getting washed frequently with the help of rainwaters. As solar panels are always installed in open space that provides scope for direct sunlight, rainwater helps to clean dirt and debris off the surface of the panel. As it stands, frequent removal of dirt and debris is a recommended practice that’s advisable for any solar panel, and with rainwater, the process of dirt removal is inexpensive and hassle free.

Helping Concrete Stabilise Foundation

The surface of the solar panel system is always made using concrete. Therefore, with the occurrence of rain almost being assured, this helps the concrete structure to cure and become stable. Water is an essential curing component and rainwater is a natural alternative that stabilises the foundation to the next level. An estimation states the structure base gains a huge strength, which is more than artificially curated foundations. In the end, a sound foundation of the surface allows the panels to withstand without moving an inch for years to come by.

Affordable Pricing

Pricing of a solar panel depends largely on the availability of several components associated. Not just the panel and the mounting, there are other smaller components whose price varies according to the demand. Additionally, with the myth circulating on monsoon solar panel installation not being an effective way still a large reason, the demand remains lowest across the year. In addition to setting up a strong foundation and getting a better price deal, the overall expenditure is way lesser during the monsoons.

Strong Mounts Withstand Rain Impact

Solar panel installation comes with a great built-in water resistance feature. Since all these solar mounting structures are made using rust-proof materials like aluminium, galvanised steel and zinc coated structures, the probability of getting affected by rust corrosion is lowered. Additionally, all these mounts are designed in a way that enables them to withstand harsh weather conditions that enables the structure to perform in optimum conditions and remain on its ground even during heavy cyclonic and rainy conditions. Therefore, with a strong weatherproof mount, you are assured of a stable solar panel system.

Conclusion

Solar panel installation during the monsoons is a game changer. This is the perfect time to maximise the reduced price of solar panels and install a strong concrete foundation, which is curated thanks to natural rain water to improve its stability. Residents can save a ton of money at this time and use government subsidies like Pradhan Mantri Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana to further reduce their initial expenditure.
