What Impacts Home Solar Cost
System Type
A system without battery costs less. If you need backup, a battery-based system costs more
Panel types & Efficiency
Mono panels usually give higher efficiency than poly—so they cost more, but produce more units in limited roof space.
Inverter & Electrical Protections
Inverter quality and safety items (protections, isolators, earthing, etc.) impact both price and long-term reliability.
Installation Complexity
Roof height, shading obstacles, longer cable runs, and extra structure work can increase installation cost.
Other Materials & Add-ons
Wiring, conduits, mounting hardware, monitoring add-ons, and finishing quality can change the final cost.

FAQs for Home Solar in Chennai
1) What size solar system is best for my home in Chennai (2kW/3kW/5kW)?
It depends on your 2-month EB units, shade-free roof area, and daytime usage. As a quick start: 2kW for moderate use, 3kW for regular family use, 5kW for higher usage homes.
2) How many units will a home solar system generate in Chennai?
A practical reference many homeowners use is ~300 units per kW in a 2-month cycle (varies by shade, season, roof direction, and cleaning).
3) How much roof area is required for a home solar system?
It depends on the panel wattage and roof layout, but most homes need shade-free usable space. We confirm the exact usable area after checking shadows, obstacles, and placement feasibility.
4) What is the cost of a solar system for home in Chennai?
Cost mainly depends on system size, panel type/efficiency (mono vs poly), inverter + protections, roof complexity, and workmanship quality. The accurate price comes after a site check because each roof is different.

Yes, it can—based on system size and your daytime usage. We recommend capacity after understanding your appliance load and when you use them.

If your area has frequent power cuts or you want backup for essentials, a battery may help. Battery cost changes based on backup load (kW), backup hours, and battery capacity (V/Ah or kWh).
7) What maintenance is required for home solar?
Mostly panel cleaning and a basic periodic check. Cleaning frequency depends on dust levels and roof conditions; cleaner panels = steadier output.
8) What warranty will I get for a home solar system?
Warranties vary by component. Typically, there is product warranty for panels/inverter (depends on brand/model) and workmanship/service support (as per your proposal). We explain both clearly before you decide.

After the site survey and confirmation, most home projects follow a simple timeline: survey → proposal → setup → commissioning. Exact duration depends on site readiness and required approvals (if applicable).
