Does rooftop solar work during Delhi winter smog?

DRAFT — outline only. Do not publish until the figures below are verified. Keep this guide inactive until it is written.

Angle: Answer the anxiety directly: yes, but with a measurable seasonal dip.

This guide must answer: - How much does generation actually drop during peak smog months? - Why does it drop — reduced irradiance vs soiling? - Does more frequent cleaning help in winter? - How does this affect annual payback maths?

Writing rules: answer the question in the first two sentences, put a real number in the opening paragraph, name the specific city or DISCOM where the answer varies, and link to two related guides and the relevant category page.

Verify before publishing: Real generation-drop percentages for NCR winter; keep claims ranged, not precise, unless sourced.
