Solar FAQs

Units your plant generates and you use are units you do not buy from BESCOM. The saving depends on your consumption, system size, shade and tariff. Use the SunScore calculator for an estimate and a site survey for a firm figure.

Payback is the installed cost divided by the yearly saving. It varies widely with consumption, subsidy and cost. A good proposal shows the calculation and its assumptions so you can check it.

No. Fixed charges and taxes on your bill remain, so solar reduces the energy portion rather than the whole bill.

A very low bill means a small system and a long payback. A survey and the calculator will show whether it makes sense for you.

Module type (DCR or non-DCR), inverter make, structure design, roof type, cable lengths, the metering route and the size. Compare quotations on the equipment list, not only on the total.

₹30,000 per kW for the first 2 kW and ₹18,000 for the third kW, with a maximum of ₹78,000 for 3 kW and above. Check pmsuryaghar.gov.in for the latest.

Housing societies and RWAs receive ₹18,000 per kW for common-facility solar, up to 500 kW, calculated at 3 kW per house and including residents' individual rooftop plants.

Not under PM Surya Ghar. Businesses benefit from bill savings, tax depreciation and the export tariff.

On BESCOM's solar rooftop portal, srtpv.bescom.org. For subsidy cases register on pmsuryaghar.gov.in first.

Under the KERC order of 25 August 2026: ₹3.89 per unit for a home system without subsidy; ₹1.96, ₹2.14 or ₹2.58 for subsidised home systems up to 2 kW, up to 3 kW and above 3 kW; ₹3.11 (DCR) or ₹2.34 (non-DCR) for other plants from 1 to 1,000 kW. Each is fixed for a 25-year agreement.

Domestic Content Requirement. It means the modules use cells made in India. The PM Surya Ghar subsidy needs DCR modules.

The Approved List of Models and Manufacturers for solar modules. MNRE has allowed net-metering projects to commission with an exemption from List-II (solar cells) until 31 December 2026.

Check your bill. BESCOM serves Bengaluru and several nearby districts. Other parts of Karnataka are served by CESC, MESCOM, HESCOM and GESCOM, each with its own process.

Roughly 4 to 4.5 units a day, or about 120 to 135 units a month, before shade and orientation effects.

Around 80 to 100 sq ft of shadow-free flat roof per kW.

On-grid connects to the grid and uses net metering, with no battery. Hybrid adds a battery for backup and stays grid-connected. Off-grid has no grid connection. See our comparison.

A standard on-grid system switches off during a grid outage for safety. A hybrid system with a battery can power selected loads.

Yes, at lower output. Over a year, your plant's total generation is what matters.

Structures are designed for wind load and modules are built to withstand weather. Earthing and surge protection add safety. Ask for the design basis in your quotation.

Possibly, if the inverter capacity, roof area, sanctioned load and approvals allow. Mention future plans at the design stage.

Modules typically carry long performance warranties and last decades, with output declining gradually. Check the datasheet for the exact terms.

Periodic cleaning, an annual inspection and monitoring the generation. See our maintenance guide.

Yes. Common-area loads such as lifts, pumps, STP, lighting and EV charging are the usual targets.

A KERC-approved arrangement that lets energy from one plant be shared across the meters of different consumers in the same distribution area. See our guide.

Depreciation at 40% on the written down value for solar plants. Eligibility depends on your tax regime and commissioning date, so speak to your chartered accountant.

Under the KERC order of 25 August 2026, net metering applies from 1 kW up to 1,000 kW, limited by sanctioned load or contract demand.

Yes. Yes. We start with a feasibility study. See ground-mount solar.

Agriya Green Power Pvt Ltd is a solar EPC company in Bengaluru, operating since 2014. We are a distributor for AMAZE India and a channel partner for V-GUARD, and we install under our GLOSUN® brand.

An engineer visits to check roof area, shade, direction, structure, your distribution board, earthing and sanctioned load. Book it through the quote form.

After the site survey you receive a quotation with the design, equipment list, price, subsidy and metering plan.

Yes. Agriya Green Power is a registered vendor on the PM Surya Ghar national portal, so we can install your system under the subsidy scheme and guide you through the process.
