What is maintenance cost of solar panel in India?

What is maintenance cost of solar panel in India 

Faults in solar power plants can catch building fire. This does not mean solar systems are unsafe. Solar systems are safe and secure .  
Junction Box
But if a building catches fire because of a solar power plant  then it is difficult to control. If you think you will switch off the inverter and it will be controlled then you are totally wrong. If a person has total knowledge then only he  controls it. 
In a solar energy power plant DC is higher risk than ac at the same voltage. 
Because ac will tend towards zero and dc will remain as it is  as long as sun is available there.
Australia weekly 200 cases of solar fire happen and many people don't register their claims or complaints. 
In India also started casula and  small accidents happen regularly and it may increase as installation increases.. I heard two big cases from Karnataka and Maharashtra.
High Voltage 

Solar systems are safe and secure if maintained properly and on a regular basis.Solar maintenance and repairing on a regular basis can minimise risk of solar accidents. This will also help and ensure all parts of the system are working properly. 
Regular solar repair and maintenance will minimize risk of fire and accident . Solar pv system properly installed would require little maintenance.
System installation market  in India increases day by day but as installation increases the possibility of risk also increases.
 As compared to other countries Indian people do not take too much attention to it . 
Repairing and maintaining the solar power system is very risky work . Installer, trader, contractor consultant, states that  panel cleaning is maintenance. This statement is totally wrong .
Very few people know there are quite 37 numbers of test in single power station
In India there's standard practice of testing check string voltage and hook up with inverter
Dirty panels produce less energy compared to clean panels. Panel cleaning and maintenance are different things.  
  Regular solar service easily controlled this issue  for that proper solar expert like solar expert needed. 
Mind well washing of solar panels is not solar panel maintenance  and solar monitoring also not same .
Solar Module Cleaning  

 As per government guideline solar energy system purses warranty to customers for stipulated five years.
And all suppliers give same to their customer
But
If the customer has an AMC contract then their representative will attend the site and wash the module. Actually this may only increase efficiency which is suffering from dust.
This is not maintenance. In the solar panel system total check up and testing at least in year is maintenance.
Now most inverter companies have remote monitoring facilities this intimate you remotely if the system isn't working . It is easy to attend repair service of solar modules or panels.
Many people charge for panel washing and also charge solar repairing cost of a specific item has limited guarantee.
In solar power plants or in solar industry warranty depends on three things: the first serial number of the product..  The second reason behind fault or failure,  and the third bill of the system. 
 If a service person opens an inverter without original manufacturers permission as far as the problem in inverter then original manufacturer. Send their service person for validation there does not depend on the dealer , distributor or supplier. 
Next week we will publish another article on tips to purchase and service solar system
