Question 1

How much does a solar system cost in Himachal Pradesh?

Accepted Answer

A typical residential solar system costs ₹40,000-50,000 per kW after government subsidies. For example, a 3kW system costs approximately ₹1.8-2.1 lakh after PM Surya Ghar subsidy of up to ₹78,000.

Question 2

How much subsidy can I get for rooftop solar?

Accepted Answer

Under PM Surya Ghar scheme, you can get up to ₹78,000 in subsidies: ₹30,000 per kW for systems up to 2kW, and ₹60,000 for first 2kW + ₹18,000 for additional capacity up to 3kW. Maximum subsidy is capped at ₹78,000.

Question 3

How long does solar installation take?

Accepted Answer

Residential solar installation typically takes 2-3 days for the physical installation. The entire process including paperwork, net metering approval, and grid connection takes 2-4 weeks depending on DISCOM processing times.

Question 4

Will solar panels work during winter in Himachal Pradesh?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Solar panels actually perform better in cooler temperatures. Himachal Pradesh receives good sunshine even in winter. While generation may be slightly lower due to shorter days, annual generation easily meets projections.

Question 5

What is net metering and how does it work?

Accepted Answer

Net metering allows you to export excess solar electricity to the grid and receive credits on your bill. When your panels generate more than you consume, the excess goes to the grid. You get compensated for this electricity, reducing your overall bill.

Question 6

How much maintenance do solar panels require?

Accepted Answer

Solar panels require minimal maintenance. Clean panels 2-3 times yearly to remove dust and debris. Annual professional inspection is recommended. Panels have 25-year warranties and inverters typically have 5-10 year warranties.

Question 7

What is the lifespan of a solar system?

Accepted Answer

Quality solar panels last 25-30 years with minimal degradation (typically 0.5% per year). Inverters last 10-15 years and may need replacement once during the system life. Overall system lifespan is 25+ years.

Question 8

Can I install solar if I have limited roof space?

Accepted Answer

Yes! We offer high-efficiency monocrystalline panels that generate more power per square foot. Even with limited space, we can design a system that significantly reduces your electricity bills. A site visit helps determine exact capacity.
