Question 1

Is solar worth it in Kerala?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Kerala receives 4.5–6 kWh/m² of solar radiation daily, making it one of the best states in India for solar power. With high electricity tariffs, most homeowners recover their investment within 3–5 years.

Question 2

Do solar panels work during Kerala’s monsoon season?

Absolutely. Even during monsoons, solar panels generate power from diffused sunlight. While efficiency may drop by 20–30%, annual production balances out because Kerala has over 250 sunny days a year.

Question 3
