Find clear, authoritative answers to the most common questions about switching to rooftop solar power in Uttar Pradesh.
Solar Installation & Sizing
Look at your electricity bill's total monthly units (kWh) consumed. In UP, divide your average monthly units by 120 to find the recommended kW capacity. For example, consuming 360 units per month indicates a 3 kW system.
In India (Northern Hemisphere), south-facing rooftops receive maximum solar irradiance throughout the year. However, East and West orientations also deliver high yields (approx 85-90% of south). We conduct a shadow simulation during the site survey to select optimal tilt angles.
Yes! Solar Wallah frequently installs high-rise galvanized steel pergola structures (7 to 9 feet clearance). This keeps your entire terrace open for daily activities, drying clothes, and family gatherings.
Net Metering & Electricity Bills
A bidirectional net meter records both the units you draw from the grid and the excess solar units you export. Your monthly bill is calculated on the net difference. If you export more than you consume in a sunny month, the extra units roll over as credit on subsequent bills.
Solar Wallah handles the complete technical documentation and liaison with your local electricity division (MVVNL / PVVNL in Uttar Pradesh).
Government Subsidies & Financing
Any individual residential property owner with an active domestic LT electricity meter in their name and clear shadow-free roof rights qualifies.
Under the UP Solar Energy Policy, the Uttar Pradesh state government provides an additional subsidy of up to ₹15,000 per kW (capped at ₹30,000) for eligible residential connections, supplementing the Central PM Surya Ghar assistance.
Maintenance, Durability & Warranties
Tier-1 solar panels carry a 25-year linear performance warranty and 10 to 12-year product warranty. Solar inverters typically carry a 5 to 10-year manufacturer warranty.
Modern solar panels are manufactured with 3.2mm thick tempered, toughened glass designed to withstand heavy hail impacts and common environmental stresses. Elevated structures also help keep panels out of reach.
