Question 1

How much does a rooftop solar system cost?

Accepted Answer

Cost depends on system size, panel and inverter brand, roof type and structure. We give a written, itemised quote after a site survey. Be cautious of any price quoted without seeing your roof or bills.

Question 2

How do I know how much I will save?

Accepted Answer

We estimate generation from system size and location, then compare it with your tariff and consumption. Actual savings vary with weather, shading, cleaning and how much power you use during the day.

Question 3

Can I pay in stages?

Accepted Answer

Payment terms are agreed in your quote and usually follow project milestones. Ask us for the schedule that applies to your project.

Question 4

Is there a government subsidy for home solar?

Accepted Answer

Residential rooftop systems may be eligible under PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana. Subsidy amounts, eligibility and the application process are set by the central and state governments and change from time to time. We confirm the current rules for your property at the site survey.

Question 5

Do you help with the subsidy application?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We prepare the document checklist and guide you through the portal steps. Approval is decided by the authorities, not by us.

Question 6

Can businesses claim a subsidy?

Accepted Answer

Residential subsidy schemes generally don't apply to commercial or industrial rooftops. Other incentives, such as tax treatment of depreciation, may apply. Confirm with your accountant.

Question 7

What is net metering?

Accepted Answer

Net metering lets your system export surplus daytime power to the grid. Your BESCOM meter records imports and exports, and your bill is adjusted for the net units. Billing rules are set by KERC and can change.

Question 8

Do I need net metering to install solar?

Accepted Answer

A grid-connected system needs utility approval to operate. Net metering is what gives you credit for exported power. Requirements vary by consumer category and sanctioned load, so we check your case first.

Question 9

How long does approval take?

Accepted Answer

It depends on utility workload and how complete your documents are. We prepare the file carefully to avoid delays you can control.

Question 10

How long does installation take?

Accepted Answer

A typical home system takes a few days on site. Commercial projects run longer, depending on size. Approvals and the meter change add time after installation.

Question 11

Is my roof suitable?

Accepted Answer

Most RCC, tile and sheet roofs can work. We check shadow, orientation, usable area and structural condition during the site survey.

Question 12

Will installation damage my roof or cause leaks?

Accepted Answer

We mount on engineered structures and seal penetrations carefully. We also point out any existing waterproofing problems before work starts.

Question 13

Does solar need maintenance?

Accepted Answer

Very little, but not none. Panels need periodic cleaning, and the system benefits from a yearly electrical check.

Question 14

How often should I clean my panels?

Accepted Answer

It depends on dust, rain and your surroundings. We can advise from your location and generation data.

Question 15

What should I do if the inverter shows an error?

Accepted Answer

Note the fault code, take a photo of the display or app, and contact us. Please don't open the inverter or isolators yourself.

Question 16

What warranties will I get?

Accepted Answer

Warranties come from the equipment manufacturers: typically a product warranty and a longer performance warranty on panels, plus an inverter warranty. Exact terms depend on the brand, and your quote lists them.

Question 17

Who handles a warranty claim?

Accepted Answer

For systems we install, we coordinate claims with the manufacturers, and we tell you upfront if something isn't covered.

Question 18

What about workmanship?

Accepted Answer

Workmanship terms for installation are stated in your quote or agreement. Ask us for the period that applies to your project.

Question 19

Is commercial rooftop solar worth it?

Accepted Answer

Businesses with high daytime consumption often get the best match between generation and use. We model your load and tariff in a proposal so you can judge payback with your own numbers.

Question 20

Can solar go on a sheet or asbestos roof?

Accepted Answer

Sheet roofs are common for industrial rooftop solar, but the roof must be strong and in good condition. Asbestos roofs usually need a structural and safety assessment first. Our survey checks this.

Question 21

Do you handle utility approvals for factories?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We prepare the technical documents and coordinate with BESCOM based on your sanctioned load and tariff category.
