Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is a rooftop solar system?

A rooftop solar system is a set of solar panels installed on the roof of your house that captures sunlight and converts it into electricity. It helps reduce your electricity bills and promotes clean, green energy.

2. How does a rooftop solar system work?

Solar panels convert sunlight into DC electricity. An inverter then converts this DC into AC electricity, which powers your home appliances. Excess power can be fed back to the grid (if net metering is available).

3. What are the benefits of installing rooftop solar at home?

● Reduction in electricity bills (up to 70–90%)
● Environment-friendly and renewable source of energy
● Government subsidies and incentives available
● Increases property value
● Long life (25+ years) with low maintenance
————————————————————————————————————————————————

4. How much rooftop space is required?

Typically, 100 sq. ft. of shadow-free roof area is required for a 1 kW system. For a medium household (3–5 kW), around 300–500 sq. ft. is required.
————————————————————————————————————————————————

5. What is the life of solar panels?

Good-quality solar panels have a life of 25 years or more with a performance warranty.
————————————————————————————————————————————————

6. What are the government subsidies available?

Under the current MNRE scheme, up to 40% subsidy is available for residential rooftop solar projects (subject to capacity and eligibility). ERFLOG Solar will assist you in the subsidy application process.
————————————————————————————————————————————————

7. What is net metering?

Net metering is a billing arrangement where any excess solar power generated is sent back to the grid. You get credit for this exported electricity, which reduces your overall bill.
————————————————————————————————————————————————

8. How much maintenance does a rooftop solar system need?

Solar panels require minimal maintenance. Usually, simple cleaning with water every 15–20 days is sufficient. ERFLOG Solar also offers Annual Maintenance Contracts (AMC).
————————————————————————————————————————————————

9. What is the cost of a rooftop solar system?

Cost depends on the system size, technology, and quality of components. On average:
1 kW system costs ₹45,000 – ₹60,000 (before subsidy)
● Larger systems (5–10 kW) are more cost-efficient per kW.
————————————————————————————————————————————————

10. How long will it take to recover my investment?

Typically, the payback period is 3–5 years, depending on your electricity usage, state subsidies, and tariff rates. After that, electricity is practically free for 20+ years.
————————————————————————————————————————————————

11. Will my home be eligible for rooftop solar?

Yes, if:
● Your roof has enough shadow-free space.
● Your electricity connection is residential.
● Your local DISCOM allows net metering.
● ERFLOG Solar will conduct a free site survey to confirm eligibility.
————————————————————————————————————————————————

12. What if my roof is shaded or small?

Shaded or small roofs may reduce efficiency. In such cases, we suggest higher-efficiency solar panels or ground-mounted options if space is available.
————————————————————————————————————————————————

13. Who will handle the installation and paperwork?

● Site survey
● Design & engineering
● Subsidy & DISCOM approvals
● Installation & commissioning
