A solar power plant is a facility that converts sunlight directly into electricity using photovoltaic (PV) panels. These panels contain solar cells made of semiconductor materials that generate electric current when exposed to sunlight. Solar power plants can range from small rooftop installations to large utility-scale facilities.
The savings depend on several factors including your current electricity consumption, system size, location, and local electricity rates. On average, households in India can save 50-90% on their electricity bills. With net metering, excess power generated can be exported to the grid for credits, further increasing savings.
Modern solar panels are designed to last 25-30 years or more. Most manufacturers provide a 25-year performance warranty guaranteeing that the panels will produce at least 80% of their rated output. With proper maintenance, panels can continue to produce electricity beyond their warranty period.
Solar panels require minimal maintenance. Regular cleaning to remove dust, dirt, and debris is recommended, especially during dry seasons. It's also advisable to have an annual inspection by a professional to check electrical connections and overall system performance. We offer comprehensive AMC (Annual Maintenance Contract) services.
The Indian government offers various subsidies through MNRE (Ministry of New and Renewable Energy) and state-level agencies. Residential rooftop solar systems up to 3 kW can get up to 40% subsidy, while systems between 3-10 kW get 20% subsidy. Commercial and industrial installations may also qualify for accelerated depreciation benefits. Contact us for the latest subsidy information in your state.
For residential rooftop systems, installation typically takes 1-3 days depending on the system size. Commercial installations may take 1-2 weeks. Ground-mounted power plants can take several weeks to months depending on capacity. The entire process from site survey to commissioning usually takes 2-4 weeks for residential systems.
Net metering is a billing mechanism that allows solar system owners to export excess electricity to the grid and receive credits on their electricity bills. When your solar system produces more power than you consume, the extra units are fed into the grid. These exported units are adjusted against your consumption, reducing your overall electricity bill.
Yes, solar panels work on cloudy days, though at reduced efficiency. They generate electricity from daylight, not direct sunlight. On overcast days, panels typically produce 10-25% of their rated capacity. During monsoon, while generation decreases, the rain helps clean the panels naturally, improving their efficiency once the sun returns.
We offer comprehensive warranties on all our installations: 25-year performance warranty on solar panels, 5-10 year warranty on inverters, and 5-year workmanship warranty on installation. We also offer extended warranty and AMC packages for complete peace of mind.
