What is a rooftop solar system? A rooftop solar system is a setup where solar panels are installed on the roof of your home or building to generate electricity from sunlight. It helps reduce your electricity bill and your carbon footprint.
How much subsidy can I get on a rooftop solar system?Under the PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana, households can receive up to ₹78,000 subsidy for solar systems up to 3 kW. The exact subsidy depends on system size and eligibility.
Is there a benefit from DISCOM or the government for installing rooftop solar?Yes. You receive a central government subsidy, and some state DISCOMs offer net metering, allowing you to earn credit for excess electricity you generate.
How much space is needed for solar panels?On average, 100 sq. ft. per kW is required. A 3 kW system typically needs around 300 sq. ft. of shadow-free rooftop space.
How long does it take to install a rooftop solar system?Once permissions and net metering approvals are done, installation usually takes 3 to 7 days, depending on the system size.
What is net metering?Net metering allows you to send excess electricity back to the grid and receive credits on your bill. It helps reduce your electricity cost significantly.
Is solar power reliable during cloudy weather or at night?Solar panels work even in cloudy weather, though at reduced efficiency. At night, solar systems with batteries can supply power. Without batteries, you will draw power from the grid.
How long does a solar system last?Solar panels have a lifespan of 25 years or more. Inverters usually last 8–10 years, and routine maintenance ensures optimal performance.
