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 -
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:
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:
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.
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
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.
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.

Housing Society Rooftop Solar Systems in India
Out of all the monthly expenses that a housing society has to pay for the common area activities, electricity bills are the biggest expenditure.
It's the moral obligation of the solar power housing association to make residents aware of the fact that using solar power for housing societies can reduce the common area electricity cost substantially.
The rooftop area of a housing society is owned by its RWA (Residents Welfare Association). The Corpus (the maintenance charges that the residents pay every month) collected every month amounts to crores of rupees in a span of 10 years or so.
When the solar power housing committee (RWA) invests that Corpus in installing a solar power system for housing society, they're practically investing in free electricity generation to power up common area amenities like water pumps, lifts, lights in parking and on every floor, and so much more!
We, at SolarSquare, understand that the RWA requires headache-free solar installation; hence, we offer a 5-year AMC (Annual Maintenance Contract). It means, we ensure the regular cleaning and maintenance of the solar panel for housing society for the coming five years.
Once you're our client, whether or not your rooftop solar power system for housing society is generating electricity is our headache, not yours!
How solar power works?
A solar power system for housing society works the same way it does for an individual house. The only difference is that the power being generated here is huge.
The bi-directional meter keeps a record of the number of units imported from the grid and the number of excess units exported to the grid.
If there’s been additional power from the DISCOM that has been used above the solar power that’s generated, you will have to pay for that imported electricity.
If the power generated by the solar system for housing society has been more than the power consumed, and you supplied electricity to the grid, DISCOM will pay you for the power you provided.
Benefits of using solar power for your housing society
Solar energy for housing society is free. What you’ll invest as the upfront cost will be recovered within 3 to 5 years, and you’ll continue to get free electricity for almost 25 years.
The benefits that the society draws from installing a solar power housing system are:
The savings on the common area electricity bill can be used for other activities like amping up the security, installing a children's play area, rainwater harvesting, and much more.
The benefits that the residents draw from the installation of a rooftop solar system are:
Why choose SolarSquare for installing solar power housing systems?
When the solar power housing committee decides to use solar energy for housing society, it's not their individual decision. Since Corpus is actually the money of the residents, the management committee must have the approval of the residents.
The route to getting the approval of the residents to allow the installation of solar power housing systems can be awfully long. There's an Annual General Meeting (AGM) where the RWA has to get the much-needed approval.
Since it can be quite a task to bring all the residents on the same page, we help the solar power housing association to prepare for the AGM.
At SolarSquare, we take pride in the fact that we take a consultative approach. We help the management committee educate the residents about the monetary benefits of installing solar power housing systems.
