    Is it just the panels? What does INR 45K get you? Please elaborate the break-up, services, costs, installation, and other aspects.

    Guide Why you should install a solar rooftop system

    There is a fair bit of physical work and manual labor in the setup - True, but that doesn't justify nearly double the price of Panels and Inverters. Existing scaffolding, unless at the right solar angle will still need some work - The previous installation should have this factored in. The cost...

    Guide Why you should install a solar rooftop system

    That could be the most likely case. The "Subsidy" amount NEVER reaches or benefits the actual end consumer. The Prices are "adjusted" to ensure the end consumer pays the FULL amount (without subsidy) to the "Agency". The EXTRA Amount (over and above the cost of the actual hardware/equipment) is...

    FS: Laptop Acer Aspire 7 ( i5 12th Gen 12450H) - (32 GB/512 GB + 1 TB SSD/4 GB Graphics/NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2050) A715-76G-59WG Gaming Laptop 15.6 Inch

    So essentially, if the sticker is torn, it is at the sole discretion of the Service Center personnel whether to honor the Warranty or not. Additionally, consumer shouldn't break anything inside if they wish to claim warranty. This seems like an ambiguous and risky situation, where consumer is...

    Can anyone confirm if the Warranty will be honored even of the "Warranty void if Seal is Removed" sticker is punctured or torn?

    Amplifier for PC, Is AIYIMA A04 considered a good Budget Amplifier?

    This is an interesting topic. Use cases for PC are way different than home theatre. A Minimalist Amplifier connected to the PC via a 3.5mm jack and to the Passive Speakers would work great. Traditionally, PC users have opted for 2.1, 4.1, or 5.1 Sound Systems that included the Satellite Passive...

    Guide Why you should install a solar rooftop system

    Anyone interested in figuring out the Solar Plant necessary, must look at their Electricity Bill. The Units consumed is clearly mentioned. If Bill is monthly then divide Units by 30 to get daily consumption. If Bill is bi-monthly then divide by 60. 1KW Solar Plant produces around 4 to 6 Units...

    IoT Geysers? Racold or Havells

    This might be a N00B question: Why opt for a Storage Water heater over Instant Water Heaters, especially in an apartment or for a small family (3-6 people)? Instant Water Heaters are quick to heat water and allow dynamic mixing with cold water for ideal bath temperature. Yes, scheduling is a...

    Guide Why you should install a solar rooftop system

    In Maharashtra, the Unit Cost is more than Rs. 15 Per Unit. It is insanely expensive. Regardless of Unit Price, Solar is a worthy investment especially because the panels can last for VERY LONG time. And there's no major downside to installing solar inside a gated house.

    Guide Why you should install a solar rooftop system

    This is really a great Quote, but is it AFTER factoring-in the Subsidy? Also, wherever possible go for the Raised (high-rise) structure. This is important if you have buildings/houses nearby. If installing on a house that's isolated, or if you reside in a windy area, go for the Standard 4-Feet...

    Guide Why you should install a solar rooftop system

    This is absurd. MSEB or MSEDCL or Mahadiscom or Mahavitaran, which are Maharashtra's Electricity Generation and Distribution Companies, have ALWAYS been Anti-Solar. ALL their policies have contradicted the Go-Green Initiatives. Right from the "Proposal" Stage to Implementation. And from Bill...
