General Solar Questions

What is rooftop solar?

Rooftop solar is a power generation system installed on the roof of a building that converts sunlight into electricity using solar panels. The generated power can be used directly or exported to the grid.

How much rooftop space is required?

Typically, 1 kW of solar capacity requires about 80–100 sq. ft. of shadow-free rooftop area, depending on panel efficiency.

What is the lifespan of a solar system?

Solar panels generally last 25 years or more. Inverters may require replacement after 8–12 years depending on usage.

System Types

What is the difference between on-grid and off-grid solar?

On-grid systems are connected to the electricity grid and do not use batteries, while off-grid systems operate independently using battery storage for backup.

Can solar work during power cuts?

On-grid systems shut down during power cuts for safety reasons. Off-grid and hybrid systems can provide backup power during outages.

Pricing & Subsidy

How much does a rooftop solar system cost?

The cost depends on system capacity, type, and components used. Residential systems generally start from small capacities and scale as per energy requirement.

Is government subsidy available?

Yes, government subsidy is available for residential on-grid rooftop solar systems, subject to eligibility and policy guidelines.

How long does it take to recover the investment?

Most residential solar systems recover their cost within 4–6 years, while commercial and industrial systems recover faster.

Installation & Maintenance

How long does installation take?

Installation typically takes 3–7 days after approvals, depending on system size and site conditions.

Is maintenance required?

Solar systems require minimal maintenance, mainly panel cleaning and periodic inspection to ensure optimal performance.

What happens if a component fails?

Most components are covered under manufacturer warranty. Our service team assists with troubleshooting and warranty support.
