Solar panels are installed on rooftops, typically facing south at an optimal angle to capture maximum sunlight. These panels produce DC power, which is converted to AC power by an inverter to match utility requirements. Excess electricity not used onsite is fed into the grid through a net meter provided by the DISCOM, which tracks power supplied and received.

The Solar Rooftop System acts as a compact power plant installed on the roofs of residential, commercial, or industrial buildings. Invented by an American scientist in 1954, this system comes in two types.
A grid-connected solar system operates without storing power; electricity generated is consumed onsite, with any surplus supplied to the grid.
This solar system allows direct use of generated power, storing any excess in batteries for use when grid power is unavailable, while also supplying surplus energy to the grid. Typically installed in areas with unreliable grid power or frequent outages, it incurs higher costs due to battery expenses compared to grid-connected systems.
Net meters, supplied by DISCOM, track the electricity sent to and received from the grid by a solar system. At the end of each billing period, the system accounts for this exchange: excess power generated earns credits, while additional power used incurs charges accordingly.
A Solar Rooftop system typically generates between 4 to 5 units per day per KW, depending on sunlight availability and local weather conditions. Annually, this translates to approximately 1450-1800 units per year per KW.
Indeed, solar power is generated by light rather than heat. It's expected that less power will be produced on cloudy days when sunlight is less available.
Central Government Subsidy
1. Residential households - Rs. 30,000/- per kW up to 2 kW, Rs. 18,000/- per kW for additional capacity up to 3 kW, Total Subsidy for systems larger than 3 kW capped at Rs 78,000.
2. Group Housing Society/ Resident Welfare Association (GHS/RWA) - Rs. 18,000 per kW for common facilities, including EV charging, up to 500 kW capacity (@3 kW per house) with the upper limit being inclusive of individual rooftop plants installed by individual residents in the GHS/RWA.

Bank loans for solar rooftop systems are readily available with flexible repayment terms. Commercial and industrial institutions benefit greatly from a 40% depreciation in the first year and 20% for the following three years.
The primary and most expensive component of a Solar Rooftop System is the solar panels, which typically come with a 30-year warranty. The supporting structures, cables, and other components are also designed to last over 30 years. Another crucial part of the system is the inverter, covered by a 5 to 10 years of warranty, although its lifespan is expected to exceed this period. This warranty will vary as per the OEM guidelines.
The solar power system automatically and promptly ceases supplying power to the grid to ensure the safety of electricians performing maintenance work.
During this period, any excess power generated by the system can be stored in batteries if available; otherwise, the system halts power production.
