FAQs

A standard inverter converts DC (from panels) into AC (used in homes). A grid-tied inverter does this while also syncing your system with the power grid, allowing energy export.

Key components include:

• Solar PV panels

• Inverter

• Mounting structure

• Bi-directional meter

• Wiring & protection devices

It’s a solar system connected to the electricity grid. You use solar power first, and any extra is exported to the grid for credit (via net metering).

Yes! A rooftop solar system can power your home’s lights, fans, appliances, and more. You can reduce or eliminate your monthly electricity bill.

Solar rooftop plants typically last 25 years or more with minimal maintenance.

Roughly 100 sq. ft. is needed per kW. For example, a 3kW system needs about 300 sq. ft. of shadow-free area.

A 1 kW system typically generates 4–5 units per day or about 1,500–1,800 units per year, depending on location and sunlight.

Generally, PPAs are signed for 20 to 25 years, ensuring stable income or savings from solar energy.

Yes, most residential, commercial, and industrial consumers can apply for rooftop solar and avail of net metering, subject to BESCOM or local DISCOM rules.

Yes, most state electricity boards BESCOM or DISCOMs have an online or offline form for solar net/gross metering applications.

Yes, if your apartment association permits and allocates roof space, you can install solar individually or as a community.

Yes, if each has a separate meter and sanction load, you can apply for SRTPV systems under net metering individually.

Yes, the Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) is usually transferrable to the new owner of the property.

You can generally install up to 100% of your sanctioned load, subject to BESCOM or DISCOM approval.

Yes, you can upgrade, but check with BESCOM or with your DISCOM and ensure it doesn’t exceed your sanctioned capacity.

If you revise the load after PPA execution, you must inform BESCOM or your DISCOM. Tariff eligibility will depend on their regulations.

Policy changes may not allow switching after PPA execution. Please check with BESCOM or your DISCOM for current rules.

You’ll need to revalidate your application or re-sign PPA depending on DISCOM policy. Contact them for the process.

Usually, it should be completed within 180 days from the date of PPA signing or approval.
