Question 1

Am I eligible for the government rooftop solar subsidy?

Accepted Answer

Eligibility under the government’s rooftop solar subsidy scheme depends on factors like your sanctioned electricity load, roof ownership, and whether you already have a solar system installed. Our team can assess your eligibility during the free site survey. Please verify current scheme rules on the official PM Surya Ghar Yojana portal before making a decision, as terms can change.

Question 2

How does net metering work?

Accepted Answer

A net meter records both the electricity you draw from the grid and the surplus solar power you export back to it. Your monthly bill reflects the net difference between the two, so any extra solar units you generate can offset future consumption, subject to your DISCOM’s policy.

Question 3

How long does installation take?

Accepted Answer

Most residential rooftop systems (3–5kW) are installed within 3–7 days of material delivery, once the site survey, design approval, and any structural preparation are complete. Subsidy and net-metering approvals from government bodies can take longer and are outside our direct control.

Question 4

What maintenance does a rooftop solar system need?

Accepted Answer

Rooftop systems are low-maintenance. We recommend periodic panel cleaning (especially after dust storms or monsoon), and an annual inspection of wiring, mounting structure, and inverter performance, which our optional AMC plans cover.

Question 5

What happens on cloudy or rainy days?

Accepted Answer

Panels still generate power on cloudy days, though at reduced output compared to full sun. Because your system stays connected to the grid, you continue drawing normal power from DISCOM whenever solar generation is lower than your consumption.

Question 6

Are financing or EMI options available?

Accepted Answer

We can connect you with financing partners and bank loan schemes commonly used for rooftop solar in India. Terms, interest rates, and eligibility are set by the respective lender, so we recommend comparing offers before committing.

Question 7

What warranty comes with the system?

Accepted Answer

Warranty periods follow each component manufacturer’s standard terms (panels, inverter, and structure each carry their own warranty duration). Ask our team for the specific warranty documentation for the brands included in your plan.

Question 8

Do you handle the government paperwork for me?

Accepted Answer

Yes — subsidy application, DISCOM liaison, and net-metering paperwork are included as part of our end-to-end service, so you’re not navigating multiple government portals on your own.
