Most residential setups we install are grid-tied, meaning they don't use batteries at all. Your system exports excess electricity directly to the grid during the day, spinning your meter backward and saving you money. You skip the high upfront cost and maintenance of battery banks, while still getting steady power. ### Choosing the Right Panels When you look at quotes, you'll see terms like Monofacial, Bifacial, and TOPCon. * **Monofacial:** The industry standard. Reliable, cost-effective, and perfect for most residential rooftops. * **Bifacial:** These capture sunlight on both sides. If you have a high-reflectivity roof or space to install them with some ground clearance, these can boost your generation significantly. * **TOPCon:** Newer tech with higher efficiency in lower light. It’s a premium choice for smaller roofs where you need maximum output from limited space. ### How Net Metering Works Think of your electricity meter as a two-way street. When your panels produce more power than your home uses, the excess energy flows back into the grid. The BSES or Tata Power meter tracks this 'export.' At the end of the billing cycle, you are only charged for the 'net' units—the difference between what you drew from the grid and what you pushed back into it. ### The Subsidy Reality Yes, the government provides subsidies via the PM Surya Ghar scheme. Many homeowners find the paperwork daunting, which is why we handle the entire application process for you. We ensure your system configuration meets the specific technical requirements for subsidy eligibility so you don't face rejection later. ### Why Sanctioned Load Matters Your sanctioned load determines how big of a system you can legally install. Before buying a 5kW system, we check your electricity bill to ensure it aligns with your approved load. If your solar system exceeds this, we assist with the paperwork to get your load increased, ensuring your setup is 100% compliant and safe from electrical overloads. ## About Exolar Energy We are the team that handles your solar project from start to finish. We don't outsource, so if you have a question about your wiring or subsidy paperwork, you’re talking directly to the people who built it.
