Solar Forms

A solar rooftop system is a setup where solar panels are installed on the roof of a building to generate electricity from sunlight.

A solar rooftop system works by capturing sunlight through solar panels installed on the roof, which convert it into direct current (DC) electricity. This DC power is then passed through an inverter, which converts it into alternating current (AC) electricity — the form used to power homes and businesses. The electricity is then used to run appliances, and any excess energy can either be fed back to the power grid (in grid-connected systems) or stored in batteries (in off-grid or hybrid systems). This system reduces dependence on the grid, lowers electricity bills, and provides a clean, renewable source of energy.

Going solar helps you save up to 80-90% on electricity bills by generating your own power from sunlight. Solar systems require low maintenance, offer long-term reliability, and can even increase your property value. With government subsidies, tax benefits, and net metering policies, the initial investment becomes even more attractive.

Yes, solar power is safe. It is one of the safest and cleanest energy sources available. It produces no noise, emissions, or pollutants, making it environmentally friendly and non-hazardous to health. The components used in solar rooftop systems — like solar panels and inverters — are tested to rigorous safety standards and have built-in protections (like surge protection, earthing, and insulation) to prevent electrical accidents.

When installed by Sooryoday certified professionals and maintained properly, a solar system poses no fire, shock, or radiation risk. In fact, compared to traditional power sources (like diesel generators or coal plants), solar is significantly safer and more sustainable.

1. Shadow-Free Rooftop Space

A flat or sloped roof with adequate sunlight exposure.

Minimum space: ~100 sq. ft. per kW.

2. Rooftop access &

There are three main types of solar systems used for rooftop and ground-mounted installations, each designed for different needs:

1. On-Grid Solar System

Also called On-Grid systems.
Connected to the electricity grid
No batteries – Uses solar power during the day, and draws from the grid when needed
Excess power is exported to the grid (via net metering)
Best for: Homes and businesses with reliable grid power
Most cost-effective, eligible for government subsidies

2. Off-Grid Solar System

Also called Standalone systems.
Not connected to the grid
Uses batteries to store electricity
Provides complete energy independence
Best for: Remote areas with no grid access
Useful in areas with frequent power cuts, but higher upfront cost due to batteries

3. Hybrid Solar System

A combination of grid-tied and off-grid systems.
Connected to both grid and batteries
Uses solar power first, stores excess in batteries, and can fall back on the grid if needed
Offers backup during outages
Best for: Users who want energy security and savings
Balanced option – slightly costlier than grid-tied but provides backup power

Yes, solar panels do generate electricity during monsoon and winter — but with reduced efficiency.. This fall in production is considered in the unit generation estimates provided by Sooryoday for every project.

✅ Off-Grid or Hybrid System (with Battery Backup)

Yes, these systems can supply power during outages.

The solar panels charge the batteries, and during a power cut, the inverter uses stored power to run your appliances.

Ideal for areas with frequent power cuts.

🚫 Grid-Tied System (No Battery)

No, it does not work during a power failure for safety reasons.

During a grid outage, the system automatically shuts down to prevent backfeeding electricity to the grid (which could endanger line workers).

This is called "anti-islanding protection."

The electricity generated by a solar plant depends on factors like its capacity (kW), location, sunlight availability, and system efficiency.

✅ General Estimate (India-based conditions):

1 kW of rooftop solar plant produces about 4 to 5 units (kWh) per day

That’s approximately 1,400 to 1,800 units per year

Once you register interest, Sooryoday would conduct a scientific mapping of your rooftop and suggest the appropriate project size for you.

Net metering is a billing system that allows rooftop solar users to export excess electricity they generate to the power grid and get credited for it.

⚙️ How It Works:

Your rooftop solar system powers your home or building.
If you generate more electricity than you consume, the excess goes to the grid.
If your system generates less than you need, you draw the difference from the grid.
A net meter records both import and export of electricity.
At the end of the billing cycle, you're charged only for the “net” units used
