1. Subsidy FAQs
How much does a solar plant installation cost, and what are the eligibility criteria for subsidy?
Cost depends heavily on system type and size:
| System type | 3 kW cost (before subsidy) | Subsidy | Net cost (approx.) |
|---|---|---|---|
| On-grid | ₹1.5–2.2 lakh | Up to ₹78,000 | ₹82,000–1.4 lakh |
| Off-grid (battery-based) | ₹2.4–2.8 lakh | Not eligible | ₹2.4–2.8 lakh |
| Hybrid (grid + battery) | ₹2.7–3.5 lakh | Up to ₹78,000 (residential) | ₹1.9–2.7 lakh |
Eligibility for the PM Surya Ghar subsidy:
- Residential connection in your own name with a DISCOM (KSEB in Kerala)
- Ownership or documented consent for the installation rooftop
- Installer registered on pmsuryaghar.gov.in
- ALMM-listed (government-approved) panels and inverter
- Grid-connected with net metering
- No previous government solar subsidy claimed on the same connection
- Commercial/industrial connections are not eligible for this particular scheme
Is government subsidy available for solar installation?
Yes — the central PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana offers ₹30,000/kW for the first 2 kW and ₹18,000 for the third kW, capped at ₹78,000 for systems of 3 kW or more. Kerala does not currently run an additional state-level top-up, so the central scheme is the primary subsidy route here — but Kerala's high electricity tariffs (₹8+/unit at top slabs) mean the bill savings alone make solar attractive even without extra state incentives.
Can I get a loan for solar installation?
Yes. Collateral-free solar loans are available through scheduled banks empanelled under the PM Surya Ghar portal, generally at concessional rates (roughly 6–7%), designed to cover whatever portion of the cost isn't offset by the subsidy. Many private installers and NBFCs also offer EMI-based financing with quick approval, sometimes with interest-only periods for the first year or two.
How do I apply for the subsidy?
Register on pmsuryaghar.gov.in, choose a registered installer, complete installation, and get the system inspected and commissioned by your DISCOM. The subsidy is credited directly to your bank account (DBT) within roughly 30–45 days of commissioning.
How long does a solar system take to pay for itself?
Typical payback periods range from 3–6 years depending on system size, local tariffs, subsidy amount, and sunlight hours in your region. After payback, the remaining system life (20–25+ years) is essentially free electricity, minus minor maintenance.
2. Technical FAQs
What is an off-grid and on-grid solar system? Why do most people prefer on-grid?
- On-grid (grid-tied): Connects directly to the utility grid with no batteries. Excess power is exported and credited via net metering; you draw from the grid when solar isn't producing. It's the most affordable option and the only type eligible for the PM Surya Ghar subsidy.
- Off-grid: Runs independently of the grid using battery storage. Costs significantly more and isn't subsidy-eligible, but works in areas with no grid access.
Most urban Kerala households prefer on-grid because the grid is reliable enough that battery backup isn't essential, and the subsidy plus net metering make the economics far better — payback in 3–5 years versus much longer for off-grid.
What is a hybrid system? Is it expensive? Is it the best option?
A hybrid system combines grid connectivity with battery backup — you get net metering benefits and power during outages. It costs more than on-grid (typically ₹80,000–1.5 lakh extra for batteries) but less than pure off-grid. It's the best option for homes with frequent power cuts or those wanting backup for essential loads rather than everything.
What is meant by solar panel efficiency?
Efficiency is the percentage of sunlight a panel converts into usable electricity. Standard panels today run 19–22% efficiency, while premium monocrystalline, TOPCon, and bifacial panels reach 22–24%+. Higher efficiency means more power from the same roof area.
Which type of solar panel should you choose?
- Polycrystalline — lowest cost, lower efficiency (~15–17%), rarely used now
- Monocrystalline (PERC) — good balance of cost and efficiency (~20–22%), current market standard
- TOPCon (N-Type) — higher efficiency (~22–24%), better performance in heat and low light
- Bifacial — captures reflected light from both sides, higher output, best on reflective or elevated mounting
For most Kerala homes, monocrystalline PERC or TOPCon panels offer the best cost-to-performance balance.
Are bifacial solar panels worth the extra cost?
Bifacial panels can add 5–20% more output depending on installation (elevated mounting, reflective roofing, ground albedo). On a typical flat residential rooftop mount, the uplift is modest, so the extra cost is worth it mainly for open ground-mounts, elevated structures, or reflective roofing — less so for standard close-roof residential setups.
What is a TOPCon solar panel? Is it the best option?
TOPCon (Tunnel Oxide Passivated Contact) is an N-Type cell technology that reduces energy loss compared to standard PERC cells, giving higher efficiency (22–24%) and better performance in high heat and low-light conditions — relevant in Kerala's climate. It's one of the best mainstream options for efficiency-per-rupee today.
What are the different types of solar inverters?
- String inverters — most common and affordable
- Microinverters — one per panel; better for partial shading, costlier
- Hybrid inverters — manage both grid and battery
- Off-grid inverters — designed to run entirely off battery storage
Can I run an AC, motor, and charge an EV with an on-grid solar system?
Yes, as long as the system is sized for the combined load. A 1-ton AC, a small motor/pump, and EV charging together typically need a 5–8 kW system rather than the standard 3 kW. A proper load assessment before installation is essential.
Which mounting structures are the strongest and most aesthetically pleasing?
Galvanized iron (GI) and hot-dip galvanized structures are the most common and cost-effective for durability against Kerala's monsoon and coastal humidity. Anodized aluminum structures cost more but resist corrosion better long-term and have a cleaner look. Elevated/tilted structures improve airflow and output but are more visible; flush/in-roof mounts look sleeker but cost more.
Is it true that an on-grid solar system does not work during a power cut?
Yes, this is true. On-grid inverters are required by safety regulation to automatically shut down during a grid outage (“anti-islanding” protection), preventing feedback into lines that utility workers may be repairing. A hybrid or off-grid system with battery storage is needed for backup during outages.
Can you explain the costs and procedures related to installing an on-grid solar plant with MNRE/KSEB?
- Register on pmsuryaghar.gov.in and select an ALMM-listed, registered installer
- Site survey and load assessment to determine system size
- Installation using ALMM-approved panels and inverter
- Net metering application with KSEB, including bi-directional meter installation
- Inspection and commissioning by KSEB before the system goes live
- Subsidy disbursal via DBT, typically 30–45 days after commissioning
Net metering/documentation costs typically run ₹10,000–15,000 as part of the overall installation cost.
What safety equipment is installed with the solar plant?
- DC and AC surge protection devices (SPDs)
- Earthing/grounding for panels, mounting structure, and inverter
- Lightning arrester — especially important given Kerala's high thunderstorm frequency
- ACDB/DCDB distribution boards with circuit breakers and fuses
- Anti-islanding protection, built into the on-grid inverter
- Rapid shutdown mechanism for firefighter/maintenance safety
Do I need a safety certificate for my solar installation?
Only systems above 10 kW require a safety certificate. Standard residential systems (typically 1–10 kW) do not need one.
3. Trust, Warranty & Vendor Selection FAQs
Why should I choose Y2G Energy over a large national brand?
National brands bring scale and legacy, but often route you through a channel partner network — meaning your actual point of contact is a local dealer, not the parent company. Y2G Energy gives you a direct relationship from quote to commissioning, with local, Kerala-specific expertise (monsoon-rated mounting, KSEB net metering fluency, and regional service response). [Add your specific differentiators.]
How do I know Y2G Energy is a legitimate, empanelled vendor?
Only vendors registered on the official PM Surya Ghar portal are eligible to install subsidy-linked systems, and empanelled vendors are contractually required to provide at least 5 years of warranty and service — or risk being blacklisted from the scheme. [Confirm and state Y2G's registration status here.]
What warranty does Y2G Energy provide?
- Panels: 25–30 year performance warranty (typically manufacturer-backed)
- Inverter: 5–10 year warranty depending on brand/model
- Installation & workmanship: Minimum 5 years, as mandated for PM Surya Ghar-empanelled vendors
- Mounting structure: [Your term — commonly 10+ years for Kerala's coastal climate]
Can I get my solar system insured?
Yes — solar systems can be insured against theft, fire, storm damage, and other natural disasters, similar to home insurance. [State whether Y2G facilitates this directly or refers customers to insurance partners.]
What happens if my net meter installation is delayed by KSEB?
You can raise a complaint with KSEB's Consumer Grievance Redressal Forum (CGRF). [Add whether Y2G proactively tracks/follows up on this for customers — a strong trust-building differentiator.]
How do I compare quotes from different solar companies in Kerala?
- Panel type and efficiency (PERC vs TOPCon vs bifacial)
- Inverter brand and warranty length
- Whether the quote is subsidy-inclusive or subsidy-exclusive
- Installation/workmanship warranty (minimum 5 years for empanelled vendors)
- Who handles the net metering paperwork with KSEB — you or the vendor
- After-sales service terms (response time, cleaning, monitoring)
Is it risky to install solar privately without going through the official scheme?
It's possible, but the PM Surya Ghar scheme's empanelment requirement exists specifically to ensure vendor accountability, warranty compliance, and installation quality. Going outside the scheme means losing both the subsidy and this built-in quality assurance.
