Question 1

How much does a rooftop solar system cost in Madhya Pradesh?

Accepted Answer

Pricing depends on total system capacity (kW), panel technology (Mono PERC vs TopCon), mounting structure height, cable length, and applicable government subsidies. A typical 3 kW residential on-grid system benchmark price ranges between ₹1.70L to ₹2.10L before applicable subsidy. We provide an exact, itemized quotation following a free physical rooftop site assessment.

Question 2

How many solar panels do I need for my property?

Accepted Answer

Panel count depends on your monthly unit consumption, available terrace space, and the wattage of individual modules. With modern high-output 540W+ panels, a standard 3 kW system requires only 6 panels, while a 5 kW system requires 9 to 10 panels, occupying approximately 250–450 sq. ft. of shadow-free rooftop space.

Question 3

Is solar power suitable for my home or building?

Accepted Answer

Solar is suitable if you have a structurally sound RCC flat roof, tin shed, or sloped terrace that receives unshaded direct sunlight between 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM. An active DISCOM grid connection with a compatible sanctioned load is also required for on-grid net metering.

Question 4

How long does the solar installation and net metering process take?

Accepted Answer

Physical rooftop erection of structures, panels, inverters, and cabling typically takes 2 to 4 days. The complete DISCOM net metering approval, inspection, bidirectional meter installation, and commissioning usually takes 2 to 4 weeks depending on local DISCOM scheduling in Narmadapuram.

Question 5

Can commercial shops, offices, and businesses install rooftop solar?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Commercial and industrial properties benefit greatly because their peak power consumption occurs during daylight hours when solar generation is at its highest. Businesses can also claim accelerated depreciation benefits under the Income Tax Act.

Question 6

What routine maintenance do solar panels require?

Accepted Answer

Solar photovoltaic panels have no moving parts and require very minimal maintenance. Simply washing the panel glass surface with clean water every 10–15 days to remove dust ensures peak generation efficiency throughout the year.

Question 7

Am I eligible for a government rooftop solar subsidy?

Accepted Answer

Individual residential homeowners with a domestic electricity connection in Madhya Pradesh are generally eligible for central/state rooftop solar subsidy schemes (like PM Surya Ghar). Sunlife Solar assists you end-to-end with National Portal registration, document verification, and DISCOM commissioning.
