Solar Panel For Homes

Rooftop Solar Panels for Homes – Overview

India is one of the most solar-rich countries in the world, receiving nearly 300 days of abundant sunlight every year. This makes rooftop solar panels for homes a highly efficient and cost-effective solution for reducing electricity bills.

Electricity supplied by DISCOMs can cost up to ₹8 per unit, whereas electricity generated through a rooftop solar system is virtually free—because sunlight comes at zero cost. At Maven Green Energy, we design and install high-quality rooftop solar systems ranging from 2 kW to 10 kW and above for independent houses and housing societies.

With extensive experience in residential solar installations, we believe that almost every rooftop—whether RCC or metal sheet—has the potential to generate clean solar power efficiently.

How Much Can You Save with Solar?

For example, if your monthly electricity consumption is around 500 units, installing a 4 kW solar plant for home can help you save up to ₹44,000 per year, assuming an electricity tariff of ₹8 per unit.

Solar Installation Requirements

1. Mandatory Rooftop Inspection

Before installation, a detailed rooftop inspection is essential. Shadows caused by nearby buildings, trees, or towers between 9 AM and 4 PM can significantly reduce solar power generation.

Our solar experts at Maven Green Energy analyze shadow-free areas, ideal mounting height, roof strength and the most suitable solar panel type based on your roof structure. We ensure that your rooftop can safely support the mounting structure using advanced anchoring techniques.

2. Correct Tilt Angle for Maximum Generation

To generate maximum electricity, solar panels must be installed at the correct tilt angle. In South India, the ideal tilt angle is around 10 degrees, while in North India it should be 20 degrees or more. Proper tilt ensures optimal sunlight absorption throughout the year.

How a Solar Plant for Home Works

A rooftop solar system consists of multiple solar panels connected together. When sunlight hits the photovoltaic (PV) cells, it is converted into direct current (DC) electricity. A solar inverter then converts DC into alternating current (AC), which is used to power household appliances.

Any excess electricity generated is exported to the grid through a bi-directional net meter. This meter records both consumed and exported units. If your system generates more electricity than you consume, you receive credits or compensation from the DISCOM.

Solar Panel for Home Price in India

The cost of a rooftop solar system depends on several factors, including panel type, efficiency, installation quality and value-added services.

• 1 kW: ₹70,000 – ₹1,10,000
• 2 kW: ₹1,40,000 – ₹1,80,000
• 3 kW: ₹1,80,000 – ₹2,40,000
• 4 kW: ₹2,40,000 – ₹3,20,000
• 5 kW: ₹3,00,000 – ₹4,00,000
• 10 kW: ₹6,00,000 – ₹8,00,000

Benefits of Installing Solar Panels for Home

• Significantly reduce or eliminate high electricity bills
• Earn credits through net metering for excess power generation
• Reduce carbon footprint and support a greener planet
• Gain energy independence from rising power tariffs
• Recover installation costs within 4–5 years through savings
• Avail attractive government subsidies

Government Solar Subsidy for Homes

For Individual Homeowners:

• Up to 1 kW – ₹30,000 subsidy
• Up to 2 kW – ₹60,000 subsidy
• 3 kW to 10 kW – ₹78,000 subsidy

In states like Uttar Pradesh, an additional subsidy of ₹15,000 per kW (maximum ₹30,000) is available, bringing the total subsidy up to ₹1,08,000.

For Housing Societies:

• ₹18,000 per kW up to a maximum of ₹90 lakhs

Note: Subsidies are applicable only for residential rooftop solar systems and not for commercial or utility-scale projects.
