Born from a 4,000 KM Clean Energy Journey

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about going solar in North India.
The installed price depends on system capacity, panel and inverter models, roof structure, cabling, taxes and utility charges. Ask for an itemised quote showing the full price separately from any expected subsidy. SOLARIDE provides a site-specific quote after a free survey; subsidy eligibility and payment are subject to approval.
The published standard PM Surya Ghar central assistance is ₹30,000 for 1 kW, ₹60,000 for 2 kW and a maximum of ₹78,000 for 3 kW or more, for eligible residential systems. Confirm current requirements on the National Portal. Approval and payment depend on scheme verification; SOLARIDE helps with paperwork but cannot guarantee disbursement.
Net metering lets you export surplus solar power to the grid and offset it against what you draw at night. We manage the approvals with your DISCOM — PSPCL (Punjab), DHBVN/UHBVN (Haryana) or JVVNL/JdVVNL (Rajasthan).
Savings depend on generation, shading, electricity use, tariff and net-metering rules. Fixed charges may remain, and maintenance, financing and equipment replacement affect payback. A percentage saving or payback period is not guaranteed. Try our Solar Savings Calculator for an estimate.
About 100 sq ft of shadow-free roof per 1 kW. A 3 kW system needs roughly 300 sq ft. Our calculator sizes the system from your bill and available roof area.
Solar panels carry a 25-year performance warranty; inverters typically 5–10 years (extendable). A well-installed system commonly lasts 25–30 years.
After the site survey and paperwork, physical installation usually takes 3–7 days depending on system size. Net-metering approval timelines vary by DISCOM.
Very little — occasional cleaning of the panels and a periodic check of connections. We offer maintenance support and remote generation monitoring.
Yes. We design residential rooftop, commercial/industrial (C&I), and agricultural solar systems — including solar pumps — across North India.
We serve all of North India. Our offices are in Mohali (Punjab) and Hisar (Haryana), but our solar installation services are not limited to those cities or states. Contact us with your location for a site-specific assessment.
