If you are troubled by the huge electricity bills every month and there is no way to reduce your electricity expenses, then there is a great news for you. Now even people living in flats can produce electricity by installing solar panels in their balconies and get rid of expensive electricity bills.
What are Balcony Solar Panels?
Balcony Solar Panels is a system that you can install in the balcony of your flat and generate electricity. After China, this technology is now becoming increasingly popular in India as well. Rajasthan Solar Association has started preparations to install it in some flats as a pilot project. Under this technology, you can use your empty space and generate electricity for yourself.
How will Balcony Solar Panel work?
A 1kW solar panel will give you three units of electricity per day. The capacity of the panel will be half to 2 kW, for which you need only 18 square feet of space. The balcony will generate 25% less electricity than the roof because the balcony receives less sunlight. The panels installed on the roof generate 4 units of electricity from 1 kW, while in the balcony this figure will remain at three units.
