Costs & Savings
Residential systems run roughly ₹55,000–70,000 per kW before subsidy (a 3 kW system is about ₹1.7–2.1 lakh). Larger plants cost less per kW.
A well-sized on-grid system with net metering can cut your bill by up to 90%. Most homes save lakhs over the 25-year life.
Typically 4–5 years for homes after subsidy, and 3.5–5 years for commercial plants. After that, the power is effectively free.
Yes. Panels are warranted for 25 years, so once the system pays for itself you enjoy two decades of near-free electricity.
PM Surya Ghar Subsidy
The central scheme that subsidises residential rooftop solar to promote clean energy and free up to 300 units/month for households.
Up to ₹30,000 for 1 kW, ₹60,000 for 2 kW, ₹78,000 for 3 kW, and up to ₹1,38,000 for larger residential systems.
Indian homeowners with a valid connection in the household's name, a shadow-free roof, and a registered-vendor install via the national portal.
Credited directly to your bank account, usually within a few weeks of commissioning, net-meter installation and inspection.
Sizing & Technology
About 100 sq.ft. of shadow-free roof per kW. A typical 3 kW home system needs roughly 300 sq.ft.
Around 4 units (kWh) per kW per day — about 120 units a month, or 1,400–1,500 units a year per kW.
Tier-1 monocrystalline (Mono PERC / N-type TOPCon) panels for high efficiency and strong low-light performance.
Yes. Output dips on cloudy days but systems are sized around annual averages. India gets 300+ sunny days in most regions.
Installation & Process
Most projects go from survey to commissioning in 18–27 days. The physical installation usually takes just 1–3 days.
Site survey → 3D design & quote → subsidy paperwork → installation → net-meter & inspection → go-live & app onboarding.
Yes — net metering and DISCOM approvals are required. We handle the entire application and coordination for you.
No. With proper waterproofing and structures, panels actually shade and protect the roof beneath them.
Warranty & Service
A 25-year performance warranty on panels, a 10–12 year product warranty, and a 5–10 year inverter warranty, plus our service support.
25+ years of useful life. Many systems keep generating well beyond that at slightly reduced output.
Usually once a month, or more in dusty areas. Rain handles a lot of it. Cleaning keeps generation at its peak.
Our monitoring flags under-performance automatically and triggers a service check before losses add up — backed by an SLA.
Financing & Loans
Yes. We offer solar loans through partner institutions — often your EMI is lower than your electricity savings, so you're cash-positive from day one.
Yes. Systems can be designed hybrid-ready so you can add batteries or an EV charger later without replacing the core setup.
CAPEX means you own the system (lowest lifetime cost, tax benefits). OPEX/RESCO means we own it and you pay a discounted per-unit tariff — zero upfront.
For most homes and businesses, yes — abundant sunlight, rising tariffs, subsidies and 25-year life make it a safe long-term investment.
