We explore some of the most common myths surrounding solar energy. Learn the reality about solar performance in monsoon, the affordability with our EMI schemes, and the subsidy offered by the government.
In this video, we debunk the biggest myths about solar energy. We clarify that panels do work in the rain, require maintenance for best performance, and can power all your appliances, all made affordable with our EMI options.
Are you tired of problems like high bills, power cuts, and carbon emissions? This graphic shows how solar is the single solution to all these concerns, making it a smart and practical choice.
About Solar Myths vs. Facts
Many homeowners assume their solar output hits zero the moment it starts raining or clouds appear. That’s simply not true. While efficiency does dip during the monsoon, your system remains active and operational. In an on-grid setup, you are never off the grid—the system intelligently balances your needs, drawing from the grid only when solar generation drops. You do not need to worry about power cuts during a storm; your energy supply remains consistent.
Debunking the Cost Myth
One of the biggest hesitations is the upfront cost. People think solar is only for the wealthy, but that is changing. With the 'PM Surya Ghar' scheme, you can claim a fixed government subsidy, which significantly reduces the effective cost. We also facilitate zero-interest EMI options, often resulting in monthly payments that are lower than your current electricity bill. We do not look at solar as an expense; it is a long-term investment that pays for itself in about 2 years.
Maintenance Realities
Another common misconception is that solar panels are 'install and forget.' Like any appliance—your car or AC—solar systems need care. Dust, bird droppings, and debris can reduce efficiency. This is why we include regular AMC (Annual Maintenance Contract) services. We don't just put panels on your roof; we ensure they stay clean and monitored 24/7, so you get the maximum generation possible.
Appliance Compatibility
People often ask, 'Can I run my AC on solar?' The answer is yes. Whether it is lights, fans, or heavy appliances like air conditioners and water pumps, an on-grid solar system is designed to handle your home's load. During the design phase, we conduct a load analysis of your current consumption to determine the right system size for your specific needs.
Safety and Durability
We address the fear of wind damage by using GI (Galvanized Iron) structures that are rated for 170 kmph wind speeds. Our installations are IIT Bombay approved, and we use chemical earthing to prevent leaks. You aren't just getting solar panels; you are getting a robust, storm-proof energy setup designed to last 25 years.
