FAQ

At ENROUTE SOLAR, our simplified Solar energy solutions help build a healthier planet. Here’s a chance to get rid of your apprehensions and take that one step towards a sustainable future. Our team will provide you with in-depth information on how solar energy works, its O&M and guide you as your enterprise makes the clean energy conversion.

Photovoltaic modules absorb Sunlight and produce direct current (DC) electricity which is converted to alternating current (AC) by an inverter, which is then wired into your main service panel where it feeds your internal power grid.

Solar modules and inverters are the main components of a solar power system which constitute to 70% of project cost.

1 kWp solar system requires approximately 10 sq. m (or 100 sq. ft) of shadow free area.

You can get up to ₹78,000 directly in your bank account for rooftop installations under the PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana.

Typically 4–5 years, depending on your system size and electricity usage.

No. We provide transparent pricing that includes panels, installation, net metering, 7 years comprehensive warranty and life time service.

You can get on average up to 360 units/month free under the government scheme. If your usage is higher, you’ll only pay for the extra units.

Just like you do not require complete sunlight to see, solar panels do not require clear skies to produce electricity. UV light is all that’s needed! Solar panels work just fine in ambient light and will produce significant energy even on foggy or overcast days. Solar panels actually work more efficiently in relatively colder temperature because heat can reduce output voltage.

Yes, wind load is considered. The wind load will depend upon the exact location. We consider IS standards for the specific location. But solar power plants can be designed for any wind load. In General, the Installed Solar system can withstand winds upto 150Kmph.

Solar photovoltaic panels have no moving parts, and therefore require little maintenance, which will include module cleaning with water once a month.

Yes, your system will switch seamlessly between solar and grid power according to your energy needs.

Yes, the power produced will degrade at 0.8 % each year. In the 30th year, the solar system will still produce minimum 80% of the energy produced in the 1st year.

The solar panels have warranty for a period of 12 years; however, the projected life is approximately 30-35 years.

Solar panels will be mounted on high-quality aluminium structures, which will be fixed onto the roof sheets.

Drilling holes is necessary, although precautions are taken to prevent leakage. 

In CAPEX Model, we design according to your requirement. In OPEX / RESCO Model, We will build an 8 ft elevated structure for panel mounting so that you will have full roof usage space.

In a net-metered solar system without batteries, your solar panels automatically shut down during a power outage. This is a safety requirement to prevent electricity from flowing back to the grid.

It is not advised to go for Solar installation, If you have any plans to construct a structure on rooftop that might create shadows or damage the installation. If it is only a regular maintenance of rooftop, then it won’t be a problem.

If maintained properly, Good-quality panels last 25+ years. Inverters typically last 8–10 years.

We provide 7 years full comprehensive warranty. If your system is not working for any reason, we aim to resolve in 48-72 hours. Our team handles repairs during and after warranty via AMC.

Not unless you want backup during power cuts. Grid-tied systems work fine without batteries.

  • Bird droppings are harmful to solar panels — they can create hot spots that reduce efficiency and may cause long-term damage. Do clean the panels regularly.
  • Use your solar app to track power output. Sudden drops may signal an issue.
  • Get a professional to inspect the panels, mounting, wiring, and inverter once a year — and yes, we handle that for you.

You can apply through pmsuryaghar.gov.in or we can do the paperwork for you during onboarding.

After installation and DISCOM inspection, the subsidy is credited directly to your bank account in 2 to 3 weeks. You will receive text message from PM Surya Ghar portal about subsidy , once DISCOM approves your solar system.

You’ll need an electricity bill, Aadhar card, and bank account details. We’ll guide you through every step.

A 3kW solar system generates an annual average of 360 units per month. With net metering, you only pay for the difference—140 units—at lower slab rates compared to the usual ₹9.75 per unit.

Usually 7–10 working days post-installation, depending on the meter availability and DISCOM speed.

Yes. Enroute Solar is registered and vetted under the PM Surya Ghar Yojana and uses MNRE-compliant systems.

Yes. All installations are done through the national solar rooftop portal under government norms.

Panels – 25-30 years, Inverter – 7–10 years, Workmanship – 7 years (thereafter optional AMC).

PPA is a power purchase agreement between a power producer in this case ENROUTE and power purchaser to purchase electricity at a mutually agreed tariff, tenure and capacity.

Usually 10 years depending on the agreed tariff.

Our pre-agreed tariff is always lesser than the DISCOM rates. You can expect anywhere between 15-25% reduction on your Electricity bills.

No. The pre-agreed tariff remains the same throughout the tenure, irrespective of the DISCOM rates. In fact, that should be the main reason to GO SOLAR.
