Frequently Asked Questions
A rooftop solar system is a solar power setup installed on the roof of a home, office, factory, or commercial building to generate electricity from sunlight.
Solar panels absorb sunlight and convert it into DC electricity. An inverter then converts it into AC electricity, which can be used to power appliances and equipment.
The main types are on-grid, off-grid, and hybrid solar systems. Each system is designed for different energy requirements and usage conditions.
Yes, rooftop solar systems are ideal for homes and can help homeowners reduce electricity bills while using clean energy.
Yes, commercial and industrial buildings can install rooftop solar systems to reduce operational electricity costs and improve long-term savings.
Typically, a 1kW rooftop solar system requires around 80–100 sq. ft. of shadow-free roof space.
The price of rooftop solar systems in India generally ranges from ₹50,000 to ₹90,000 per kW depending on technology, installation, and system type.
On-grid systems shut down during power cuts for safety reasons, while hybrid and off-grid systems with batteries can provide backup power.
Rooftop solar helps lower electricity bills, reduces dependence on grid power, supports green energy, and offers long-term savings.
Yes, homes and commercial buildings with solar installations are often considered more energy-efficient and valuable.
Most quality rooftop solar panels come with performance warranties of up to 25 years or more.
Yes, eligible residential consumers can avail government subsidies under rooftop solar schemes in India.
Net metering allows users to send excess electricity back to the grid and receive credits on their electricity bills.
On-grid rooftop solar systems are commonly preferred for homes because they are affordable and require less maintenance.
Yes, professionally installed rooftop solar systems are designed with proper safety standards and certified components.
Rooftop solar systems need minimal maintenance, mainly regular cleaning and periodic inspection for optimal performance.
Yes, solar panels can still generate electricity during cloudy weather, though energy production may be slightly reduced.
