Looking after your plant
- Clean regularly. Every couple of weeks in dry, dusty months; less in the monsoon. Soft water, early morning or evening, no detergents or pressure jets.
- Watch the app. A sudden drop on a clear day usually means a tripped breaker or a dirty array, not a failed panel.
- Do not walk on modules. Use the walkways.
- Annual check. Earthing resistance, connection torque and protection devices — included in our first-year maintenance.

MYTHRooftop solar keeps running during a power cut.
FACTOn-grid plants switch off for safety. Backup needs a hybrid system with a battery.
MYTHDCR panels are better quality than Non-DCR.
FACTDCR is about where the cell was made. It decides subsidy eligibility, not quality.
