Frequently Asked Questions

Photovoltaic modules absorb sunlight and produce direct current (DC) electricity, which is converted to alternating current (AC) by an inverter. This is then wired into your main service panel where it feeds your internal power grid.

Solar modules and inverters are the main components, constituting around 70% of total project cost. Other components include mounting structures, cabling, net meters and monitoring systems.

1 kWp solar system requires approximately 10 sq. m (100 sq. ft) of shadow-free area.

Yes — solar panels do not require clear skies. UV light is all that's needed. Panels produce significant energy even on overcast days and actually work more efficiently in cooler temperatures since heat can reduce output voltage.

Good-quality panels last 25+ years if maintained properly. Panels have a performance warranty of 25–30 years, inverters typically last 8–10 years, and our workmanship warranty covers 7 years.

You can get up to ₹78,000 directly credited to your bank account for rooftop installations under PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana.

You can apply through pmsuryaghar.gov.in or let us do the paperwork for you during onboarding. We handle all subsidy-related documentation.

After installation and DISCOM inspection, the subsidy is credited directly to your bank account in 2–3 weeks. You'll receive an SMS from the PM Surya Ghar portal once DISCOM approves your system.

You can get on average up to 360 units/month free under the government scheme. If your usage is higher, you'll only pay for the extra units consumed.

Typically 4–5 years for residential and 3–4 years for commercial installations, depending on your system size and electricity usage.

No. We provide transparent pricing that includes panels, installation, net metering, 7-year comprehensive warranty and lifetime service support.

You'll need an electricity bill, Aadhaar card and bank account details. We guide you through every step of the loan application process.

Solar PV panels have no moving parts and require minimal maintenance — mainly monthly module cleaning with water. We also recommend annual professional inspection of panels, mounting, wiring and the inverter (which we handle).

Yes. Your system switches seamlessly between solar and grid power according to your energy needs at any given moment.

Yes, at approximately 0.8% per year. In the 30th year your solar system will still produce a minimum of 80% of the energy generated in Year 1.

In a net-metered system without batteries, solar panels automatically shut down during outages for safety — to prevent electricity from flowing back to the grid. A hybrid system with battery storage continues to power your home.

Solar panels are mounted on high-quality aluminium structures fixed onto the roof sheets. Drilling is necessary but all precautions are taken to prevent leakage.

Yes. We design to IS standards for your specific location. In general, installed solar systems can withstand winds up to 150 km/h.

A PPA is a Power Purchase Agreement between Enroute (power producer) and your organisation (power purchaser), to supply electricity at a mutually agreed tariff, tenure and capacity.

Usually 10 years, depending on the agreed tariff and project specifics.

Our pre-agreed tariff is always lower than DISCOM rates. You can expect anywhere between 15–25% reduction on your electricity bills.

No. The pre-agreed tariff remains the same throughout the entire tenure, irrespective of DISCOM rate increases. That fixed rate is precisely the main reason to go solar with a PPA today.
