Solar Rooftop System

Overview of rooftop solar panels

India is the tropical goldmine of solar power generation since it receives almost 300 days of uninterrupted sunlight.

The electricity for which the DISCOM charges up to Rs. 8/unit when generated by a solar panel for the home is free. That’s because sunlight doesn’t cost a penny.

We at Solarus offer rooftop panel systems ranging from 2 KW to 10 KW and higher for homes and housing societies.

As the Nagpur’sone of the largest solar installer with hands-on experience installing 90 MW solar panels on roofs, we believe that every residential rooftop – whether an RCC roof or a metal sheet roof – has the scope to go Solar.

Even if you consume 500 units of electricity/month, with a 4 KW solar plant for home installed on your residential rooftop, you can easily save up to Rs. 44,000 every year on your electricity bills (assuming that the electricity tariff in your state is Rs. 8/unit).

Solar installation requirements

Other than the fact that your rooftop should be easily accessible, there are a couple of mandatory installation requirements if you want to install a solar panel for your home correctly.

#1. A mandatory rooftop inspection by experts

Did you know that if your rooftop is covered with shadows from surrounding trees or towers between 9 AM to 4 PM, your solar system for home won’t be able to generate as much electricity from solar power as it should because the solar panels will be shaded?

Our expert solar consultants can figure out which spot on the roof will receive the maximum sunlight, what should the ideal height of the mounting structures be to avoid shadows, and which type of solar panel for your home would be the best for you according to the type of roof you have.

Solar experts also confirm that your roof is strong enough and wide enough to support the chemical anchoring of the heavy solar mounting structures.

#2. Determining the correct tilt angle for the solar panel for home

Ideally, India receives the maximum Sunlight in the Southwards direction. Since it’s not a standardized construction parameter, all residential rooftop buildings do not face South by default.

Hence, the mounting angle has to be such that the solar panel for your home on your rooftop receives maximum sunlight. The ideal tilt angle for a rooftop panel in central India is 10 degrees. In North India, the tilt angle for solar panels should be more than 20 degrees.

Working on a solar plant for home

A solar system carefully arranges many solar panels connected in series. As soon as the sunlight finds the PV cells in the solar module (rooftop panel), it converts into DC power.

A solar inverter is then used to convert the DC power into alternating current (AC) to supply electricity to run home appliances and meet other energy requirements.

The solar-supplied electricity is fed into a bidirectional meter because:

• The solar panel for your home on your rooftop could generate more power than you’re consuming.
• The bidirectional meter will supply excessive power to the DISCOM.
• The net metering system will keep a record of the electricity that was supplied to DISCOM.

At the end of every month, you’ll be paid by DISCOM for the power you supplied them with (that is, if the power generated was more than the power you consumed).

Solar panel for home price in India

Everybody wants to know the details about ‘solar panel for home price’ in the country. We will walk you through the price range. But first things first – why is there a variation in the ‘solar panels for home cost’? Here are some reasons for cost variations that you might encounter:

• Types of solar panels are different.
• Different solar panels have different efficiency rates.
• Different installation companies offer different quality services.
• Different consumers buy different value-added services.

All these factors combined affect the solar panel for home prices in India. Let’s walk you through the ‘solar panels for home cost range’.

Every 1 KW solar system can cost between Rs. 45,000 to Rs. 70,000. Following simple math, here’s a range of solar panels for home price on a per-kW-basis:

• 1 KW = Rs. 45,000 to Rs. 70,000
• 2 KW = Rs. 90,000 to Rs. 1,40,000
• 3 KW = Rs. 1,35,000 to Rs. 2,10,000
• 4 KW = Rs. 1,80,000 to Rs. 2,80,000
• 5 KW = Rs. 2,25,000 to Rs. 3,50,000

Top 10 Benefits of using solar energy for home

As a company that has already aided 400+ customers to save up to Rs. 2000 monthly on their electricity bills, we can say with absolute surety that solar energy is the future of the face of Earth.

Here are some staggering benefits of installing solar panels for home:

1. Since solar energy is free, you don’t have to pay electricity tariffs as high as Rs. 8/unit.
2. You might generate revenue if the solar panel for a home on your residential rooftop produces more power than what’s consumed.
3. You’ll no longer be responsible for global warming.
4. You will be the boss of your electricity requirements since solar energy alone will meet most energy needs.
5. With yearly savings of up to Rs. 44,000 on your electricity bills, you’ll be able to recover the upfront installation cost of solar panels for your home within 3 to 4 years.
6. You can avail of government subsidies on a solar system for your home.
7. The standard subsidy for a 1-3KW solar plant for a home is 40% of L1 rates.
8. For solar systems between 3 to 10 KW, you can avail of a subsidy of 20% on L1 rates.
9. For certain states like the Northeastern states, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, and J & K, the government offers a subsidy of up to 70% on L1 rates.
10. For housing societies, you get a 20% subsidy on L1 rates for rooftop panel systems up to 500 KW.
