SolarSquare designs and installs solar panel systems for homes, housing societies and businesses.

With a relentless commitment to innovation and excellence, we're driving the Har Ghar Solar mission forward, one rooftop at a time.

Established in 2015 by a passionate trio of solar enthusiasts — Shreya Mishra, Neeraj Jain, and Nikhil Nahar — SolarSquare is India's most trusted residential solar company. We believe in the power of solar to not only reduce carbon footprints but also to revolutionise the way we power our homes and businesses.

A solar rooftop system is a combination of many components that convert sunlight into usable electricity.

The components of a rooftop solar include the following -

  • Solar panels with PV cells
  • Solar inverter
  • Solar panel mounting structures
  • AC and DC cables
  • AC combiner box
  • DC combiner box
  • Earthing cables
  • MC4 connectors

A solar rooftop system works on the concept of conversion of sunlight into electricity. The phenomenon is known as the photovoltaic effect.

When sunlight falls on the PV cells in a solar panel, the sunlight is converted into electricity. The generated power is DC current. An AC combiner box is used to convert that DC power into usable AC power.

The generated AC electricity is fed into a bidirectional meter that supplies power to the house. It also exports excess power to the DISCOM (grid) and imports power from the grid if electricity generated by the rooftop solar system is not enough to cover the daily requirement.

Under the DBT scheme, the subsidy application process has become much easier. Here's a step-by-step breakdown:

  • Visit the National Portal for Rooftop Solar website.
  • Download the Sandes app from the website and install it.
  • Register as a customer on the Sandes app.
  • Once registered, a discom official will visit your home to assess technical feasibility.
  • After receiving the No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the official, choose SolarSquare as your solar installation company.
  • Discuss the project details with us and sign an agreement.
  • Upon receiving payment, we will commence the installation process.
  • We will then provide a work completion report and apply for a net meter installation on your behalf.
  • You will receive a commissioning certificate upon completion.
  • Submit your bank account information and upload a copy of a cancelled cheque through the National Portal for Rooftop Solar.
  • Once the fund handling agency receives your details, the subsidy will be credited to your bank account within 30 days.

By following these steps, you can smoothly complete the process and enjoy the benefits of solar energy.

If you are planning to install solar for home or housing societies, the solar panel for home price list we’ve curated will greatly help you. Here's the reference about the range of solar panels for home cost without a subsidy in India:

  • 1 kW rooftop solar system: ₹70,000 to ₹1,10,000
  • 3 kW rooftop solar system: ₹1,80,000 to ₹2,40,000
  • 5 kW rooftop solar system: ₹3,00,000 to ₹4,00,000
  • 2 kW rooftop solar system: ₹1,40,000 to ₹1,80,000
  • 4 kW rooftop solar system: ₹2,40,000 to ₹3,20,000
  • 10 kW rooftop solar system: ₹6,00,000 to ₹8,00,000

If you want to save money from the sun, Solar is the best investment for you. Solar allows you to save on your monthly electric bills plus it also allows you to save the planet by going green. Solar energy is a true form of renewable clean energy which leads to zero pollution (air, noise, land) and emits no greenhouse gases mitigating climate change.

Yes. The electricity produced by a solar power system is no different than the electricity you get from your electricity distribution company. The only difference is the source. Moreover, it is among the safest source of electricity consumption because it is neither hazardous nor does it release any toxic or harmful gases during production.

All you need to qualify for a solar system is - empty space on your roof and access to your rooftop. Just fill the project enquiry form on our website and our team will contact you to discuss your requirement. Once the project is finalised, we will take care of your entire plant design, installation and maintenance.

There are 3 types of Solar systems depending on whether the plant is linked to the power grid or battery systems for storage.

  • On-grid solar systems use common solar inverters and are connected to the public electricity grid. Any excess solar power that you generate is exported to the electricity grid and one usually get paid a feed-in-tariff or credits for the energy you export. The policy for getting credits for energy exported to the credit is termed as “Net-Metering Policy” and is available currently in most states of India.
  • Off-grid solar systems are not connected to the electricity grid and therefore requires battery storage. An off-grid solar system must be designed appropriately so that it will generate enough power throughout the year and have enough battery capacity to meet the home’s requirements, even in the depths of winter when there is less sunlight.
  • Hybrid solar systems combines solar and battery storage in one and are now available in many different forms and configurations. This means being able to store solar energy that is generated during the day and using it at night. When the stored energy is depleted, the grid is there as backup, allowing consumers to have the best of both worlds.

Yes, Solar panels do produce electricity in cloudy or rainy weather albeit with reduced efficiency. This fall in production is considered in the unit generation estimates provided for every project.

No, rooftop solar PV does not function or generate electricity during a blackout due to safety reasons. Since blackouts occur when the electricity grid is damaged. If a solar inverter was still feeding electricity into a damaged grid it would risk the safety of the people repairing the fault in the network. SolarSquare Energy provides the option of using a Li-ion storage battery with Solar power plants for areas which suffer from frequent power failures. This battery unit can store the excess electricity produced during the day and acts as a backup for any electricity requirement during night or in the event of a power failure.

The production level of a solar plant depends on multiple factors like radiation levels, amount of sunlight received, plant design and quality of components. On an average, 1 kW solar plant produces 4 units of electricity per day.

Solar Power plants are used to power all types of heavy machinery in industrial plants as well as household electrical and electronic appliances. Since the electricity produced from the plant is fed in sync with your grid/diesel generator, there are no voltage fluctuations irrespective of the number of appliances you use.

The size of your Solar plant depends on the following factors

  • Your electricity consumption pattern
  • Available shadow free area
  • Solar irradiation in your area

Once you enlist your interest in a solar project, SolarSquare conducts a scientific mapping of the appropriate project size for you.

Net Metering is a system that gives solar energy owners credits for the power that they add to the grid. When solar panels produce excess power, that power is sent to the grid. And this power can be ‘taken back’ when the solar plants are not functioning – example, during the night. When a unit of solar energy that has been ‘net metered’, the bi-directional electricity meter will run backwards. Customers are billed only for the ‘net’ energy use.

The Solar Plant life is 25 years. The main components are solar panels and inverters. Solar panels have a warranty of 25 years and inverter warranty ranges from 5-12 years.

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.

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.

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.

Solar power plants can be installed on almost any type of roofs irrespective of their shape or material type. In cases where the construction material is brittle (Asbestos) or the roof integrity is compromised, SolarSquare Energy provides roof replacement solutions as part of the solar rooftop project.

The cost of a solar plant depends on its size, configuration and degree of supporting structures required. We provide you multiple options to choose from, designed specifically to meet your requirements.

Rooftop solar projects are among the most lucrative investments for industrial, commercial and residential projects. The breakeven is achieved in 2-4 years itself, while you enjoy savings for the project life of 25 years.

There are no subsidies available for commercial entities. For residential rooftop solar projects, subsidies are released by state governments intermittently. Whenever subsidy is applicable, SolarSquare Energy provides it upfront to the customer in the project cost itself. At present, the Madhya Pradesh government has released a lucrative solar subsidy for the residential sector. The various slabs of subsidy are -

Segment Solar Project size Subsidy
Individual house 1-2 kW ₹30,000/- to ₹60,000/-
Individual house 2-3 kW ₹60,000/- to ₹ 78,000/-
Individual house Above 3kW ₹78,000/-
Group Housing Societies/Residential Welfare Associations Rs 18,000/kw

SolarSquare Energy provides the subsidy upfront as a direct discount to the consumers to ensure a hassle free experience.

In a Capex model, the entire investment comes from the power consumer. The consumer hires a solar EPC company who provides turnkey installation of the entire solar power system and hands over assets to consumers. EPC also does annual operation and maintenance (O&M) of plant. In the OPEX model, an investor or project developer (sometimes called Renewable Energy Service Company –RESCO) invests the CAPEX and the consumer pays for the energy consumed. Both consumer and developer sign a long-term power purchase agreement (PPA) for an agreed tenure & tariff.

SolarSquare Energy provides lucrative EMI options while also facilitating collateral free loan facilities provided by various banking institutions for solar projects.

Overview of rooftop solar panels

India is the tropical goldmine of solar power generation since it receives almost 300 days of uninterrupted sunlight.

The electricity for which the DISCOM charges up to Rs. 8/unit, when generated by a solar panel for home, is free. That's because sunlight doesn't cost a penny.

We, at SolarSquare, offer rooftop panel systems ranging from 2 KW to 10 KW and higher for homes and housing societies.

Being the third-largest solar installer in the country with hands-on experience of installing 90 MW worth of solar panels on roof already, we believe that every residential rooftop - whether an RCC roof or a metal sheet roof - has the scope to go Solar.

Even if you consume 500 units of electricity/month, with a 4 KW solar plant for home installed on your residential rooftop, you can easily save up to Rs. 44,000 every year on your electricity bills (assuming that the electricity tariff in your state is Rs. 8/unit).

Solar installation requirements

#1. A mandatory rooftop inspection by experts

Did you know that if your rooftop is covered with shadows from surrounding trees or towers between 9 AM to 4 PM, your solar system for home won't be able to generate as much electricity from solar power as it should because the solar panels will be shaded?

Our expert solar consultants can figure out which spot on the roof will receive the maximum sunlight, what should the ideal height of the mounting structures be to avoid shadows, and which type of solar panel for home would be the best for you according to the type of roof you have.

Solar experts also confirm that your roof is strong enough and wide enough to support the chemical anchoring of the heavy solar mounting structures.

Whether it's the maintenance of the solar system or effective guidance in ensuring that you get the best returns on your investment, we’ll walk with you every step of the way.

#2. Determining the right tilt angle for the solar panel for home

Ideally, India receives the maximum Sunlight in the Southwards direction. Since it’s not a standardized construction parameter, all residential rooftop buildings do not face South by default.

Hence, the mounting angle has to be such that the solar panel for home on your rooftop receives maximum sunlight. The ideal tilt angle for a rooftop panel in South India is 10 degrees. In North India, the tilt angle for solar panels should be more than 20 degrees.

Working of a solar plant for home

A solar system has a careful arrangement of many solar panels connected in series. As soon as the sunlight finds the PV cells in the solar module (rooftop panel), it gets converted into DC power.

A solar inverter is then used to convert the DC power into alternating current (AC) to supply electricity to run home appliances and meet other energy requirements.

The solar-supplied electricity is fed into a bidirectional meter because:

  • The solar panel for home on your rooftop could be generating more power than you’re consuming.
  • The bidirectional meter will supply excessive power to the DISCOM.
  • The net metering system will keep a record of the electricity that was supplied to the DISCOM.

At the end of every month, you’ll actually be paid by DISCOM for the power you supplied them with (that is, if the power generated was more than the power you consumed).

Solar panel for home price in India

Everybody wants to know the details about ‘solar panel for home price’ in the country. We will walk you through the price range. But first things first – why is there a variation in the ‘solar panels for home cost’. Here are some reasons for cost variations that you might encounter:

  • Types of solar panels are different.
  • Different solar panels have different efficiency rates.
  • Different installation companies offer different quality of services.
  • Different consumers buy different value-added services.

All these factors combined affect the solar panel for home price in india. Moving on, let’s now walk you through the ‘solar panels for home cost range’.

Every 1 KW solar system can cost between Rs. 45,000 to Rs. 70,000. Following simple math, here’s a range of solar panel for home price on a per-kW-basis:

  • 1 KW = Rs. 70,000 to Rs. 1,10,000
  • 2 KW = Rs. 1,40,000 to Rs. 1,80,000
  • 3 KW = Rs. 1,80,000 to Rs. 2,40,000
  • 4 KW = Rs. 2,40,000 to Rs. 3,20,000
  • 5 KW = Rs. 3,00,000 to Rs. 4,00,000
  • 10 KW = Rs. 6,00,000 to Rs. 8,00,000

Top 10 Benefits of using solar energy for home

As a company that has already aided 7000+ customers to swithc to solar, we can say with absolute surety that solar energy is the future of the face of Earth.

Here are some staggering benefits of installing solar panel for home:

  • You don’t have to pay electricity tariffs as high as Rs. 8/unit since solar energy is free.
  • You can get credits when the solar panel for home on your residential rooftop produces more power than what's consumed.
  • You’ll definitely no longer be responsible for global warming.
  • You will be the boss of your electricity requirements since most of the energy needs will be met by solar energy alone.
  • With the yearly savings of up to Rs. 44,000 on your electricity bills (if you install a 4 KW system), you’ll be able to recover the upfront installation cost of solar panel for home in less than 5 years.
  • You can avail of government subsidies on a solar system for home.

Here’s the subsidy breakdown

For homeowners

  • System capacity up to 3 kW: Receive a subsidy of ₹14,588 per kW
  • System capacity above 3 kW and up to 10 kW: Receive a subsidy of ₹14,588 per kW for the first 3 kW and ₹7,294 per kW for the remaining capacity
  • System capacity above 10 kW: Receive a fixed subsidy of ₹94,822
