1. How much does a solar system for home cost in Chennai?

3.How long does installation take?
Most residential installations are completed within 5–10 days after site survey and approval.
4. How does a home solar system work?
A solar system converts sunlight into electricity using solar panels. The electricity flows to an inverter, which changes it into usable power for your home. Any excess can be stored in batteries (off-grid/hybrid) or exported to the grid (on-grid/hybrid).
5. What types of solar systems are available?
- On-Grid: Connected to the EB grid (no batteries).
- Off-Grid: Works with batteries, independent of EB supply.
- Hybrid: A mix of both, with battery backup and grid connection.
6.How much space is needed for solar panels?
On average, 100 sq. ft. per kW of shadow-free rooftop space is required.
7. How much does a solar system cost?
The cost depends on the system type, size (in kW), and components (panels, inverter, batteries). Subsidy and GST benefits can further reduce costs.
8. Is subsidy available for home solar?
Yes, residential rooftop solar is eligible for government subsidy under the National Solar Rooftop Scheme. The process is now simpler and faster.
9.Will solar work during power cuts?
- On-Grid: No, it shuts down during EB failure.
- Off-Grid/Hybrid: Yes, solar + battery backup provides power during outages.
10.How much will I save on my electricity bill?
Savings depend on your usage and system size. Most homes can reduce 70–90% of their EB bill with solar.
11. How long do solar panels last?
Solar panels typically last 25+ years with minimal maintenance. Inverters and batteries may need replacement earlier (8–12 years).
12. What maintenance is required?
Solar systems require very little maintenance — mainly cleaning panels once or twice a month and occasional service checks.
