If you’re tired of rising bills, now is the perfect time to consider installing solar panels on your rooftop, which could provide free electricity both day and night. Here’s how it works and how you can get started.

Why You Don’t Need a Traditional Power Connection Anymore

You can become your own electricity provider by setting up a rooftop solar system. With enough panels, you can run all your appliances—lights, fans, refrigerators, coolers, even air conditioners—without relying on a government connection. What’s more, excess electricity can be sold back to the grid, earning you money every month.

What to Do First?

Before you jump in, assess your home’s electricity consumption:

Low usage homes (lights, fans, small appliances) need fewer panels.
High usage homes (ACs, coolers, washing machines) need a larger setup.

You should make a list of your power-consuming devices and estimate your daily electricity usage in units (kWh).

How Many Solar Panels Will You Need?

The number of panels depends on your daily energy requirement and your location’s sunlight exposure.

A 1kW solar panel system can generate up to 5 units of electricity per day under ideal sunlight.
If your home uses 30 to 35 units daily, you’ll need a 7kW system.
For this, installing 12 to 14 solar panels of 500W each will suffice.

💰 Estimated installation cost: ₹3 to ₹5 lakh for a complete system including panels, inverter, wiring, and installation.

How Will You Get Electricity at Night?

You’ll need a hybrid solar system that:

Generates power during the day for your own use.
Sends excess power to the grid, which is recorded via net metering.
Pulls electricity from the grid at night, using your credited units, ensuring uninterrupted supply.

This setup eliminates your reliance on expensive power tariffs and ensures free electricity round the clock.

Bonus: Government Subsidies Available

The government also offers subsidies and incentives under schemes like PM Surya Ghar Yojana, which can significantly reduce the cost of solar installation. Be sure to check with your local DISCOM or electricity board for eligibility and application process.

Conclusion

With rising power bills and frequent hikes, solar power offers an affordable and future-ready solution. By investing once in a rooftop solar system, you not only save money for years to come but also contribute to clean, renewable energy for the nation.
