A solar rooftop system turns sunlight into electricity through a process called the photovoltaic effect.

When sunlight hits the PV cells in a solar panel, it’s converted into DC (direct current) power. This power then goes through an AC combiner box, which changes it into usable AC (alternating current) power.

The AC electricity flows through a bidirectional meter that powers your home. If you produce extra electricity, it goes back to the grid (DISCOM). When solar power isn’t enough to meet your needs, the grid supplies the extra power you need.

Under the DBT scheme, getting a solar subsidy is now simpler:

1. Visit the National Portal for Rooftop Solar and download the Sandes app.
2. Register on the Sandes app as a customer.
3. A discom official will check technical feasibility at your home.
4. Once you get the NOC, select Rolling Energy as your installer.
5. Finalize project details and sign the agreement.
6. After payment, installation begins.
7. We’ll submit a work completion report and apply for net meter installation.
8. Receive your commissioning certificate.
9. Submit bank details and a cancelled cheque on the portal.
10. Your subsidy will be credited within 30 days.

To qualify for a solar system, all you need is open space and rooftop access. Just fill out our project inquiry form, and our team will reach out to discuss your needs. Once finalized, we’ll handle everything—from design to installation and maintenance.

No, rooftop solar doesn’t produce electricity during a blackout to keep repair workers safe from live currents in the grid. However, Rolling Energy offers an option to add a Li-ion storage battery for areas with frequent power outages. This battery stores extra power generated during the day, providing backup at night or during blackouts.

The output of a solar plant depends on factors like sunlight levels, radiation, plant design, and component quality. On average, a 1 kW solar system generates about 4 units of electricity daily.

Solar power plants can supply energy to all kinds of heavy machinery in industrial facilities and to household appliances. Because the electricity generated is synced with your grid or diesel generator, you won’t experience any voltage fluctuations, no matter how many appliances you’re using.

The size of your solar plant depends on a few key factors:

• Your electricity usage habits
• The amount of shadow-free space available
• The solar energy potential in your area

Net Metering is a system that rewards solar energy owners for the extra power they send to the grid. When your solar panels produce more energy than you need, that surplus is fed into the grid. You can then draw back this energy when your solar system isn’t generating power, like at night. The bi-directional meter will spin backward for the solar energy you contributed, and you’ll only pay for the net energy you use.
