Solar energy works by converting sunlight into electricity using photovoltaic (PV) cells installed in solar panels. When sunlight hits these cells, it creates an electric current through the photovoltaic effect. This electricity is then converted from DC to AC using an inverter so it can power your home or business. Any excess electricity can be stored in batteries or sent back to the grid through net metering.

Yes, solar energy is highly suitable for homes. Residential solar systems can significantly reduce or even eliminate electricity bills. They also increase property value and provide protection against rising electricity costs. With government subsidies and net metering benefits, solar has become affordable for most households.

Solar systems require very minimal maintenance. Occasional cleaning of panels every few months is usually sufficient to maintain efficiency. There are no moving parts, so wear and tear is minimal. Inverters may require inspection after several years, but overall maintenance costs are very low.

High-quality solar panels typically last 25 to 30 years or more. Even after this period, panels continue producing electricity at a slightly reduced efficiency. Most manufacturers provide a 25-year performance warranty, ensuring long-term reliability and savings.

Yes, solar panels work even during cloudy or rainy days. Although electricity generation may be lower compared to bright sunny days, panels still capture diffused sunlight. Over the year, solar systems are designed to balance production and provide reliable energy savings.

Net metering allows you to export excess electricity generated by your solar system back to the electricity grid. In return, you receive credits that are adjusted against your electricity bill. This ensures you fully utilize the energy produced by your system and maximize savings.

Yes, the government provides subsidies for residential solar installations under approved schemes. Subsidies reduce the initial cost of installation, making solar more affordable. Eligibility and subsidy amounts depend on system capacity and government policies.

Typically, around 100 square feet of shadow-free roof space is required for every 1kW of solar capacity. The exact requirement may vary based on panel efficiency and installation layout. Our team conducts a site survey to optimize space usage.

Yes, solar systems can easily run air conditioners, refrigerators, washing machines, and other heavy appliances. Proper system sizing and inverter selection are important to ensure smooth operation.

An on-grid solar system is connected to the main electricity grid. It does not use batteries and relies on net metering to export excess power. This system is cost-effective and ideal for locations with reliable grid supply.

An off-grid solar system operates independently without any connection to the electricity grid. It uses solar panels to generate electricity and stores the energy in batteries for use during night time or power outages. Off-grid systems are ideal for remote areas, villages, farms, and locations where grid electricity is unreliable or unavailable. Although the initial cost is higher due to batteries, it provides complete energy independence.

Solar installation usually takes between 2 to 5 working days depending on the system size, roof structure, wiring requirements, and approval process. Small residential systems can be installed quickly, while larger commercial systems may take slightly longer. Our team ensures a smooth, safe, and professional installation with minimal disruption.

Yes, solar installations are completely safe for rooftops when installed professionally. The mounting structures are lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and designed to withstand strong winds, rain, and extreme weather conditions. Proper waterproofing is done during installation to ensure there is no roof leakage or structural damage.

During power cuts, on-grid solar systems automatically shut down for safety reasons. However, if your system includes battery backup or is off-grid, it will continue to supply electricity during outages. Battery-backed systems are especially useful for running essential appliances like lights, fans, refrigerators, and Wi-Fi routers.

Solar energy can significantly reduce or even eliminate your electricity bill depending on your consumption and system size. Many homeowners experience savings of 80% to 100%. With net metering, excess electricity exported to the grid further reduces monthly bills, making solar a highly cost-effective solution.

Yes, solar energy is one of the most environmentally friendly power sources available. It produces clean electricity without emitting harmful greenhouse gases or pollutants. By switching to solar, you help reduce carbon emissions, conserve natural resources, and contribute to a cleaner and greener planet for future generations.

Most high-quality solar panels come with a performance warranty of up to 25 years, ensuring consistent energy output over time. In addition, product warranties usually range from 10 to 12 years covering manufacturing defects. Inverters and other components also come with separate warranties.

Yes, solar is an excellent long-term investment. Most systems recover their cost within 4 to 6 years through electricity savings. After payback, the electricity generated is essentially free for decades, providing high returns and protection against rising power tariffs.

Yes, most solar systems are designed to be scalable. You can add more panels, batteries, or upgrade the inverter in the future as your electricity needs increase. Planning expansion during the initial installation helps make future upgrades smoother and cost-effective.
