Expert Installation
Our expert team involves a detailed, multi-stage process designed to maximize energy production, ensure structural integrity, and adhere to safety codes. Expert installers handle the entire project from initial site assessment and customized design to final commissioning and net metering setup.
Key Aspects of Expert Solar Installation
- Site Assessment & Design: Experts analyze roof structure, shading, and energy needs to create a tailored layout, prioritizing optimal orientation (south-facing in the Northern Hemisphere) for maximum efficiency.
- Structural Integrity: Installers use specialized mounting hardware to secure panels, ensuring the racking system is durable, properly spaced for airflow, and safe from wind loads.
- Electrical Expertise: The process involves safe wiring of PV modules, installation of inverters (to convert DC to AC power), and ensuring proper grounding and safety shutdowns.
- Compliance & Permitting: Professional installers manage all local authority approvals and utility paperwork, including net metering applications to allow excess energy to be sold back to the grid.
- Quality Assurance: High-quality installation includes waterproofing rooftop penetrations, testing all connections, and final commissioning to ensure peak performance.
- Expert installers: Our experts ensure the system is not only functional but also compliant with local regulations, often offering ongoing maintenance and performance monitoring.
- Site Visit & Assessment: Evaluation of roof conditions, shade, and electrical load.
- System Engineering: Creating blueprints for layout, racking, and electrical design.
- Installation Day(s): Securing mounts, placing panels, and wiring.
- Inspection & Interconnection: Final grid inspections and connecting to the grid.
- Commissioning & Activation: Turning on the system and ensuring functionality.
What papers needed for solar installation?
1. Self-Attested Copy of Aadhaar Card,
2. Copy of the current month’s Electricity Bill.
3. Tax Receipt/Property Document
4. Cancelled Cheque to Claim Subsidy (required for PM-Surya Ghar Scheme).
Which Orientation is Ideal for getting maximum Solar Production?
1. Maximum Yield: A south-facing setup is the benchmark for the highest total annual kWh production.
2. Consistency: It provides consistent energy production throughout the day.
3. "True" South: This refers to geographic south, not magnetic south shown on a compass, which can differ by several degrees.
What is Optimal Tilt Angle?
The optimal tilt angle for solar panels is the angle at which they are tilted relative to the horizontal to receive maximum solar radiation and energy production. It generally depends on the installation location's latitude, with typical year-round recommendations equal to the latitude, or 30° - 45° in many locations.
Key Considerations for Optimal Tilt:
1. Latitude Rules: A standard rule of thumb is setting the tilt angle equal to your geographical latitude (e.g., 40° latitude = 40° tilt).
2. Seasonal Adjustments: To maximize production, adjust panels to be more vertical in winter (latitude + 15°) and flatter in summer (latitude - 15°).
3. Maximum Efficiency: The goal is to keep sun rays perpendicular to the panels.
4. Regional Differences: In Northern India, a 28° – 30° tilt is recommended, while southern regions only need about 10°.
For most residential applications, a fixed angle equal to the local latitude provides a good balance, but slight deviations (like keeping them slightly flatter for self-cleaning) are often acceptable.
What Subsidies or incentives are available in India?
India Primarily Key Solar Subsidies and Incentives
1. PM-Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana (Rooftop Solar): Subsidy: ₹30,000 Per kW for the first 2 kW, and ₹18,000 Per kW for additional capacity up to 3 kW.
--->Maximum Subsidy: Capped at ₹78,000 for systems above 3 kW.
-->Applicability: Residential households.
2. PM-KUSUM Scheme (For Farmers):
-->Components: Offers solar pumps (off-grid), solarization of existing grid-connected pumps, and setting up small solar power plants on barren land.
-->Subsidy: Up to 30% of the installation cost (50% in special regions), with states providing additional support, making it up to 60% total.
3. Net Metering (Energy Banking):
Allows consumers to export excess solar energy to the grid, reducing their electricity bills significantly.
4. State-Specific Incentives:
States like Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, and Gujarat offer additional, higher subsidies on top of the central government benefits
What Tax Exemptions and Benefits are Available in India?
Goods and Services Tax (GST):
1. Input Tax Credit (ITC): Businesses (but not residential users) can claim GST input tax credit for taxes paid on solar plant purchases.
2. Income Tax Benefits (Businesses & Commercial):
--> Accelerated Depreciation (AD): Businesses can claim 40% depreciation in the first year on solar assets, allowing them to lower taxable income on high upfront costs.
--> Section 80-IA: Solar power generating firms can claim a 100% tax exemption on profits for 10 consecutive years.
These tax benefits are designed to encourage adoption of renewable energy by reducing the initial capital investment and providing long-term operating savings.
