Thinking About Solar?
Making the switch to solar energy is a significant and exciting decision for any homeowner or business owner in Bihar. It’s an investment in a sustainable future and a great way to reduce your energy costs. However, it’s natural to have questions before you begin.
At HelioShift, we believe in empowering our customers with knowledge. We’ve compiled answers to the five most common questions we hear from people considering a solar installation.
1. How much will it cost and how much can I save?
This is often the first question on everyone’s mind. The cost of a solar panel system depends on your specific energy needs, the size of the system, and the equipment you choose1. While there’s an upfront investment, think of it as a long-term strategy for financial savings.
- Immediate Savings From the moment your system is active, you generate your own electricity, which can dramatically lower your monthly bills2.
- Government Subsidies The government encourages solar adoption through schemes like the PM Surya Ghar Portal, which simplifies the process of applying for subsidies3. The HelioShift team will guide you through all the paperwork to ensure you maximize your benefits.
- Long-Term Payback A solar installation can pay for itself in savings, typically within 5 to 8 years4. With a lifespan of about 25 years, a solar system is a durable and profitable investment4.
2. Is my roof suitable for solar panels?
Most homes and businesses are great candidates for solar, but a few factors determine the ideal setup. Before any installation, our experts conduct a thorough site assessment.
- Roof Condition We check to make sure your roof is in good condition and can support the panels for their entire lifespan5.
- Sunlight Exposure For optimal performance in India, solar panels should ideally face south to receive the maximum amount of sunlight6. We analyze your roof’s orientation and check for any potential shading from nearby trees or buildings that could impact efficiency6.
- Available Space We calculate the right number of panels to meet your energy goals and ensure you have adequate space for them1.
3. What type of equipment is best for me?
The heart of your solar energy system consists of solar panels, which capture sunlight, and an inverter, which converts that energy into usable electricity for your home2. Not all equipment is the same, and the right choice depends on your budget, space, and energy goals1.
- Solar Panels There are several types, including highly efficient monocrystalline panels and more cost-effective polycrystalline panels1.
- Inverters You can choose between string inverters, which are a reliable standard, or microinverters, which can maximize performance if some of your panels are partially shaded2.
Don’t worry about becoming an expert overnight. The HelioShift team will explain the options and design a system with high-quality components tailored to your needs.
4. What is the installation process like?
As a full-service EPC (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction) company, HelioShift handles the entire process, so you don’t have to.
- Consultation & Design We start by understanding your energy needs and designing a custom system.
- Permitting We take care of all necessary approvals and paperwork.
- Installation Our certified and experienced technicians will install the system. It’s crucial to work with a reputable company with a proven track record to avoid issues like faulty wiring or improper mounting76. The salesperson you speak with should be from the company that will perform the installation, which is a key sign of a reliable provider8.
- Commissioning After installation, we conduct thorough checks and get the system connected to the grid, a process that includes setting up net metering.
5. What happens after the panels are installed?
Our relationship doesn’t end once your system is switched on. Solar panel systems require very little maintenance, usually just periodic cleaning to ensure nothing obstructs the sun’s rays9.
- Warranties We provide robust warranties that cover both the equipment and the quality of our installation work, giving you peace of mind for years to come8.
- Net Metering Once connected to the grid, you’ll benefit from net metering. When you produce more electricity than you use, the excess is sent to the grid, and you receive credits on your bill9. When you need more power than your panels are producing, you simply draw from the grid as usual.
- Ongoing Support HelioShift provides reliable after-sales service and support to ensure your system continues to operate at peak efficiency.
