General Questions
- 01
How do solar panels actually work?
Solar panels capture sunlight and convert it into electricity through photovoltaic (PV) cells. The electricity then passes through an inverter, which turns it into usable power for your home or business.
- 02
What’s included in a complete solar setup?
A standard setup includes solar panels, an inverter, a mounting structure, electrical wiring, and sometimes batteries (if you choose an off-grid or hybrid system).
- 03
Do I need to change my existing electrical wiring for solar?
In most cases, no. Your existing wiring can be used, but we’ll ensure it’s safe and compatible with the new solar system during our site inspection.
- 04
How much sunlight does my roof need for solar to work efficiently?
Ideally, your roof should get 4–6 hours of direct sunlight per day without shadows from trees, buildings, or other structures.
- 05
Can solar panels be installed on any type of roof?
Yes. We can install panels on concrete, metal, tile, and even tin roofs — we just use the right mounting structure for your roof type.
- 06
Will installing solar damage my roof?
No. When installed professionally, solar panels will not damage your roof. In fact, they can even protect the area beneath from weather exposure.
- 07
Will solar panels work during cloudy days or in the monsoon?
Yes, but output will be lower. Solar panels can still generate 10–25% of their usual output on cloudy days due to diffuse sunlight.
- 08
Do I need permission from the electricity board before installing solar?
For on-grid systems, yes — your local electricity board must approve the connection. We take care of all the paperwork for you.
- 09
What’s the difference between an on-grid, off-grid, and hybrid solar system?
On-grid: Connected to the electricity board, no batteries.
Off-grid: Independent from the grid, uses batteries.
Hybrid: Connected to the grid but also has batteries for backup.
- 10
Can I expand my solar system later if my electricity usage increases?
Yes, most systems are expandable. We design your system with future growth in mind.
- 11
What happens if my panels produce more electricity than I use?
With net metering, extra electricity is sent to the grid, and you get credit on your bill.
- 12
Is my home or business suitable for solar installation?
Most properties are suitable if there is enough shadow-free space and a structurally strong roof. We can confirm with a free site assessment.
- 13
Will solar panels work if there’s a power cut?
If you have an off-grid or hybrid system with batteries, yes. A standard on-grid system will shut down during outages for safety.
- 14
Can I monitor my solar power generation on my phone?
Yes. Many modern inverters come with apps that let you track your system’s performance in real time.
- 15
Do solar panels need special cleaning solutions or tools?
No. Usually, plain water and a soft cloth or sponge are enough. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the glass surface.
- 16
How long will it take to recover my investment (ROI) with solar?
For most homes, it takes 4–6 years to recover the cost through savings on electricity bills — sometimes even faster with subsidies.
