Solar FAQs: cost and sizing

Questions

• How much does a solar system cost for my home?

  It depends on three things: the system size in kW, whether you add batteries, and the structure your roof needs.

• What size system do I need for my monthly bill?

  Sizing starts from your units (kWh), not the rupee amount.

• Can solar run my AC, and how many?

  Yes.

• Why do prices change so often?

  Most solar equipment is imported.

• On-grid, hybrid or off-grid: which is better for me?

  On-grid: lowest cost, but no backup during load shedding.

• Single-phase or three-phase: which solar system does my house need?

  It follows your electricity connection.

• Can I charge an electric car or bike from solar?

  Yes.

• Should I wait for solar prices to fall?
