Powering Odisha with Solar Energy
Everything You Need to Know About Solar Energy
Solar energy is power generated from sunlight using photovoltaic (PV) panels. Solar panels contain cells that convert sunlight into direct current (DC) electricity, which is then converted to alternating current (AC) by an inverter for use in your home or business.
Savings vary based on your electricity consumption and system size. On average, our customers in Odisha save 70-90% on their electricity bills. A typical 5kW residential system can save ₹40,000-60,000 annually.
Absolutely! Odisha receives excellent sunlight throughout the year, making it ideal for solar energy. Even during monsoon season, modern solar panels can generate significant power from diffused sunlight.
Quality solar panels typically last 25-30 years with minimal degradation. Most panels come with a 25-year performance warranty guaranteeing at least 80% efficiency after 25 years.
Residential installations (3-10kW) typically take 2-3 days. Commercial projects (10-100kW) take 5-10 days, while large industrial installations may take 2-4 weeks depending on capacity and complexity.
System size depends on your electricity consumption. As a rule of thumb, 1kW generates about 4-5 units per day in Odisha. If you consume 150 units monthly, a 3-4kW system would be suitable. We provide free assessments to determine the right size.
Not necessarily. Grid-tied systems without batteries are more affordable and work well if you have reliable grid power. Batteries are recommended if you experience frequent power cuts or want complete energy independence.
Standard grid-tied systems shut down during power cuts for safety. If you need power during outages, you'll need a hybrid system with battery backup or an off-grid system.
Solar systems require minimal maintenance. Clean panels 2-3 times per year (more during dusty seasons), check connections annually, and monitor system performance. We offer annual maintenance contracts for hassle-free upkeep.
Yes! The Government of India offers subsidies for residential rooftop solar: 40% subsidy for systems up to 3kW and 20% for systems between 3-10kW. We assist with all subsidy applications and documentation.
Most residential systems pay for themselves in 4-6 years through electricity savings. Commercial systems typically achieve ROI in 3-5 years. After payback, you enjoy 20+ years of virtually free electricity.
Yes, we partner with leading banks and NBFCs to offer solar loans with attractive interest rates and flexible repayment terms. Many customers find their monthly loan EMI is less than their previous electricity bill!
Net metering allows you to export excess solar power to the grid and receive credits on your electricity bill. When your system produces more than you consume, the surplus goes to the grid. At night, you draw from the grid using these credits.
Yes, TPCODL, TPWODL, TPSODL, and CESU all offer net metering in Odisha. We handle all paperwork and coordination with your electricity distribution company for net metering approval.
Net metering approval typically takes 30-60 days after application submission. We manage the entire process including application, technical inspection, and meter installation.
Solar panels: 25-year performance warranty, 10-year product warranty. Inverters: 5-10 year warranty. Mounting structures: 10-year warranty. We also provide 1-year comprehensive workmanship warranty on installation.
We provide lifetime support for all installations. This includes remote monitoring, troubleshooting, regular maintenance, and prompt repair services. Our customer support team is available via phone, email, and WhatsApp.
Panels are covered under manufacturer warranty for defects. For physical damage from storms, falling objects, etc., we recommend solar insurance. We can help you get insurance coverage for your system.
