Frequently Asked Questions About Solar
Will solar bring my electricity bill to zero?
Not necessarily. Solar reduces the units you buy from the grid, but fixed charges, grid usage at night and DISCOM rules still apply, so most bills fall rather than vanish.
How much roof space does a solar system need?
As a rough rule, about 10 square metres of shadow-free roof per kW. Our system size calculator gives an estimate for your usage.
What is the difference between on-grid, off-grid and hybrid systems?
On-grid systems work with the utility grid, off-grid systems run on batteries without the grid, and hybrid systems combine both with battery backup.
Is a solar subsidy available?
Central and state schemes exist for some categories, and rules change. Check the official PM Surya Ghar portal for current eligibility, and ask us for guidance.
Does solar work in hilly areas with snow and shade?
It can, but generation depends on orientation, shading and season. A site assessment is the only reliable way to judge a specific roof.
Are the calculator results a quotation?
No. They are illustrative estimates based on stated assumptions. A site visit is needed for an actual proposal.
Do solar panels need a lot of maintenance?
No. Periodic cleaning and an occasional inspection are usually enough, and our maintenance pages explain what to check.
What happens to the system at night?
Panels stop producing. An on-grid property draws from the grid, and a hybrid or off-grid property uses stored battery energy.
