☀️ India's Trusted Solar Partner

Delivering renewable energy solutions across residential, commercial & industrial sectors

1. Getting Started

Learn the basics of solar energy and how to get started.

Most homes with a roof (flat or sloped) and adequate sunlight exposure are suitable. We offer FREE site assessments where our experts evaluate your roof space, shading, structural strength, and electricity consumption to design the perfect system.

System size depends on your monthly electricity consumption. For example: 2kW for ₹2,000-3,000 bills, 3kW for ₹3,000-5,000 bills, 5kW for ₹5,000-8,000 bills. Our team analyzes your past bills to recommend the optimal size.

Residential installations (1-5kW) typically take 2-3 days. Commercial installations (10kW+) take 1-2 weeks. This includes mounting, wiring, inverter setup, and net metering application assistance.

2. Costs & Savings

Understand the costs, savings, and return on investment.

Residential systems: ₹50,000-60,000 per kW before subsidy. A 3kW system costs ~₹1,80,000 gross. After ₹78,000 PM Surya Ghar subsidy, net cost is ₹1,02,000. Commercial rates are lower due to scale.

PM Surya Ghar Yojana offers: ₹30,000 for 1-2kW, ₹60,000 for 2-3kW, ₹78,000 for 3kW+. Subsidy is a direct bank transfer after installation and inspection. Only available for residential systems.

With subsidy, typical payback is 3-4 years. For a 5kW system saving ₹6,000/month, you recover your ₹2,22,000 net investment in ~37 months. After that, enjoy 20+ years of FREE electricity!

Yes! We partner with banks offering solar loans at 9-12% interest. Many customers opt for EMIs lower than their current electricity bills. Commercial clients can choose CAPEX, OPEX, or PPA models.

3. Technology & Performance

Learn about solar technology, performance, and what to expect.

In India, 1kW generates ~4-5 units/day (120-150 units/month). A 3kW system produces 360-450 units/month, a 5kW produces 600-750 units/month. Actual output varies by season, location, and shading.

Panels still generate 10-25% output on cloudy days. Grid-tied systems pull from the grid when needed. Battery backup systems store excess power for nighttime use. Annual generation remains 85-90% of rated capacity.

Grid-tied systems shut off during power cuts for safety (anti-islanding protection). If you need backup, opt for a hybrid system with batteries or an off-grid system with battery storage.

Net metering allows you to export excess solar power to the grid and get credited. Your meter runs backward when generating surplus. You only pay for NET consumption (grid units - solar units).

4. Installation & Maintenance

Everything about installation process and ongoing maintenance.

No! Professional installation uses weatherproof mounting systems that don't compromise roof integrity. We seal all penetrations and use ballast mounts for flat roofs. Our installations come with 5-year workmanship warranty.

In urban areas, monthly cleaning is recommended. In rural areas, quarterly is sufficient. Dust accumulation can reduce output by 15-30%. Our AMC plans include regular cleaning and inspections.

Solar systems are low-maintenance. Annual tasks: panel cleaning, connection checks, inverter inspection. Panels have 25-year warranties, inverters 5-10 years. We offer comprehensive AMC plans starting ₹5,000/year.

All components come with manufacturer warranties (panels: 25 years, inverters: 5-10 years). We handle all warranty claims and provide replacement support. Our AMC customers get priority service.

5. Regulations & Approvals

Understand the regulatory requirements and approval process.

For grid-tied systems with net metering, yes. We handle all paperwork including UPPCL/DVVNL applications, technical approvals, and meter installation coordination. Process takes 4-8 weeks.

Typically not for rooftop installations up to 10kW. Ground-mounted or larger systems may need municipal approvals. We guide you through all local requirements.

Yes, but you need written permission from the property owner. Subsidy eligibility requires ownership proof. We recommend portable systems or agreement terms for transferring the system if needed.
