Frequently asked questions
Straightforward answers to the questions we hear most from homeowners and businesses considering solar.
Costs vary by system size, roof type and component quality, typically ranging from about ₹50,000-₹60,000 per kW for residential systems before subsidy. We provide a detailed, itemized quote after a free site survey.
Under the central PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana, residential rooftop solar (up to 3kW) is eligible for central subsidy, with additional state-level benefits in some cases. We assist with the full subsidy application process.
A typical residential system is installed within 3-7 days once materials are on site. Commercial and industrial systems take longer depending on scale, usually 2-6 weeks including structural work.
Net metering allows surplus solar power you generate to be exported to the grid in exchange for credits, which offset the power you draw at night. We handle the complete net-metering application with your DISCOM.
As a general rule, 1kW of solar requires approximately 80-100 sq. ft. of shadow-free roof area, though this varies with panel efficiency and mounting structure.
Most residential systems pay back within 4-6 years, while commercial and industrial systems with higher daytime consumption often see payback in 3-5 years, after which generation is essentially free for the remaining system life.
Solar panels typically carry a 10-12 year product warranty and a 25-year linear performance warranty. Inverters are usually warrantied for 5-10 years depending on brand and type.
Yes, panels continue generating power on cloudy days, though at reduced output (typically 10-25% of peak capacity). Annual generation estimates already account for Gujarat's seasonal weather patterns.
Solar systems are low-maintenance. We recommend periodic panel cleaning (monthly to quarterly depending on dust) and an annual inverter and wiring health check, which we offer through our O&M contracts.
Standard grid-tied systems shut down during a grid outage for safety (anti-islanding), unless paired with a hybrid inverter and battery backup, which we can also design for you.
Solar can be installed on RCC, metal sheet, and most industrial shed roofs with appropriate mounting structures. Our site survey assesses your specific roof type, orientation and shading before finalizing the design.
Alongside government subsidies, several banks and NBFCs offer solar loans at competitive rates. We can guide you toward financing partners suited to residential or commercial projects.
We size your system based on your average monthly electricity bill, available roof area, and future consumption plans, aiming to maximize self-consumption and payback.
We provide remote generation monitoring, warranty claim assistance, and optional annual maintenance contracts to ensure your system performs at peak efficiency for its full lifespan.
