Residential Solar
Residential solar simply means putting solar panels on your home's roof to generate your own electricity from sunlight. Instead of buying all your power from the utility company, you produce some (or most) of it yourself — which means a smaller bill every month and long-term savings that add up for decades.
How it actually works
Panels catch sunlight
Solar panels on your roof absorb sunlight and convert it into DC (direct current) electricity — this happens even on cloudy days, just at a lower output.
The inverter converts it
A device called an inverter changes that DC electricity into AC (alternating current) — the same type of electricity your home appliances actually use.
Your home uses it first
The electricity powers your lights, fans, fridge and other appliances directly, cutting down how much you draw from the grid.
Extra power is exported
Any surplus electricity you don’t use flows back into the grid through a "net meter", which tracks it as a credit against your bill — this is called net metering.
Which type of system is right for a home?
Most homes go with an on-grid system, but here's how all three compare.
On-Grid
Most common for homes
Stays connected to the electricity grid at all times. No battery needed, lowest cost, and the grid acts as your backup at night.
Off-Grid
For areas with no reliable grid
Fully independent — stores energy in batteries so you’re never dependent on grid power, but costs more due to the battery bank.
Hybrid
Best of both worlds
Connected to the grid AND has a battery, so you get backup power during outages while still benefiting from net metering.
Why homeowners are switching
Cut your electricity bill by up to 90%, depending on system size and usage.
Reduce your carbon footprint — a typical home system offsets several tonnes of CO₂ every year.
Increase your property’s resale value with a modern, energy-efficient upgrade.
Panels typically carry 25+ year performance warranties with minimal upkeep.
Eligible homes can claim a central government subsidy under the PM Surya Ghar scheme.
From enquiry to switched on: our process
Free site visit & assessment
We check your roof space, sunlight exposure, and current electricity usage to recommend the right system size.
Custom system design
Our engineers design a layout and pick panels/inverter suited to your roof and budget.
Approvals & subsidy paperwork
We handle the net-metering application and any government subsidy paperwork on your behalf.
Installation (1–3 days)
Experienced technicians install the panels, inverter and wiring safely, with minimal disruption to your home.
Inspection & commissioning
The utility inspects and approves the net meter, then your system is switched on and starts generating power.
Common questions
Yes — panels still generate electricity in daylight, just at reduced output. Your system is sized to account for this over the year.
A standard on-grid system shuts off for safety during a grid outage. Only hybrid or off-grid systems with a battery keep your home powered during a blackout.
Roughly 80–100 sq. ft. per kW of solar capacity, though this varies by panel type and roof shape.
Quality panels are built to last 25+ years, with most manufacturers guaranteeing at least 80% output after 25 years.
