A solar power system works by capturing sunlight using photovoltaic (PV) panels installed on your rooftop or open ground. These panels convert sunlight into direct current (DC) electricity, which is then passed through an inverter to convert it into alternating current (AC), the type of electricity used in homes and businesses. This clean energy can directly power your appliances, and any excess can be sent back to the grid in an on-grid system.

Installing solar panels offers multiple benefits, including significant savings on electricity bills by generating your own power. It also reduces your carbon footprint, contributing to a cleaner environment. Additionally, solar power protects you from rising electricity rates in the future and may make you eligible for government subsidies, tax benefits, and net metering facilities, further improving your return on investment.

The space requirement depends on the capacity of the system you need to offset your electricity bills. Generally, a 1 kW solar system requires around 100 square feet of shadow-free space, preferably south-facing for maximum sunlight exposure. Larger systems, such as 5 kW or 10 kW setups, will require proportionally more space, and our experts can help assess your roof during a site visit.

Most high-quality solar panels come with a warranty of 25 years, but they can continue to generate power well beyond that. The efficiency of panels gradually decreases over time, typically losing about 0.5% efficiency per year. Other components, like inverters, usually have a lifespan of 10-15 years, after which they may require replacement. Regular maintenance ensures the system performs efficiently throughout its lifespan.

If you have an on-grid system, your solar power system automatically shuts down during a grid outage for safety reasons (to prevent power from flowing into the grid and endangering workers). However, if you install a hybrid solar system with a battery backup, you can continue to use stored solar power during outages, ensuring essential appliances like lights, fans, and refrigerators keep running.

Yes, but the ability to power all your appliances depends on the size of your solar system and your daily energy consumption. A properly sized system can power lights, fans, refrigerators, TVs, AC units, and more. Our team will conduct a load analysis during consultation to design the right system, ensuring your solar setup meets current and future power needs.

A Solar Rooftop module comprises minimal moving parts and hence has very low maintenance cost. SolarSquare Energy provides first 5-year maintenance free of cost to clients ensuring a hassle free experience for all our customers.

Yes, the Government of India, under its Rooftop Solar Programme, offers substantial subsidies for residential solar installations, sometimes covering up to 40% of the system cost. There are also tax benefits for commercial users under accelerated depreciation rules. Our team assists with the application process, documentation, and approvals, making sure you get all available financial benefits.

It is a good practice to clean the solar panels 1-2 times a month. It is safer to clean the panels early in the morning or at night when no incident sun rays are present and the power plant is not producing any electricity. You can simply use a clean wet cloth, soft nylon brush or sponge to wipe the surface but ensure the panels are clear of any moisture. Don’t use metal brushes or detergents as these may streak the glass of the panel.

SolarSquare Energy has a UL certification (one of the highest quality and safety standards in the world) and ensures that no damage to the existing structures takes place during the installation or running of the solar plant. We use a multitude of techniques like non-penetrating structures and waterproofing solutions to ensure your roof’s integrity.
