Gujarat Solar Energy designs and installs solar panel systems for homes, housing societies, and businesses across Gujarat. We offer complete end-to-end solutions — from system design and subsidy assistance to installation and long-term maintenance.

A solar rooftop system is a combination of components that convert sunlight into usable electricity.
It is installed on the roof of homes, societies, or buildings and helps reduce electricity bills by using clean, renewable energy.

Main components of a rooftop solar system:

• Solar Panels with PV (photovoltaic) cells

• Solar Inverter (converts DC to AC)

• Mounting Structures (to fix panels on the roof)

• AC & DC Cables

• AC Combiner Box

• DC Combiner Box

• Earthing Cables (for safety)

• MC4 Connectors (to connect panels and cables)

You can apply for the government’s solar rooftop subsidy through your solar installer or authorized vendors. The process involves submitting necessary documents like identity proof, electricity bill, and ownership proof to your DISCOM (power distribution company). Your installer usually helps with the paperwork and registration on the government portal. Once approved, the subsidy amount is credited to your account or deducted from your final bill, making solar affordable.

The price varies based on system size and quality. On average, the cost is ₹60,000 per kW in urban areas and ₹62,000 per kW in rural areas (before subsidy). For example, a 3 kW system might cost approximately ₹1.8 lakh in urban areas and ₹1.86 lakh in rural areas, before applying any government subsidy.

Solar energy reduces your electricity bills, lowers your carbon footprint, and increases energy independence. It’s a clean, renewable source that helps combat climate change. Plus, with government subsidies and easy financing options, solar is more affordable than ever.

Yes. Solar rooftop systems are designed with strict safety standards, including proper earthing, quality components, and certified installation. Regular maintenance ensures your system operates safely and efficiently for decades.

You need a suitable roof area with good sunlight exposure, solar panels, an inverter, mounting structures, wiring, a bidirectional meter (for net metering), and approval from your DISCOM.

• Grid-tied systems: Connected to the electricity grid, allowing excess power to be exported.

• Off-grid systems: Use batteries to store power, ideal for areas without grid access.

• Hybrid systems: Combine grid-tied and battery backup, providing power even during outages.

Yes, solar panels work during cloudy, rainy, and winter days but with reduced efficiency compared to sunny days. They still produce significant electricity as they need sunlight, not heat, to operate.

A 1 kW solar plant can produce about 4-5 units (kWh) of electricity per day on average, depending on location, season, and shading. For example, a 3 kW system may generate around 12-15 units daily.

You can run almost all household appliances such as lights, fans, TVs, refrigerators, and even air conditioners on solar power, depending on your system size. It’s ideal to optimize appliance use based on your system’s capacity.

Calculate your average monthly electricity consumption from your bills. A solar installer can help determine the right system size based on your energy needs, roof space, and budget.

Net metering is a billing mechanism that credits you for the excess electricity your solar system exports to the grid. It allows you to reduce your electricity bills by offsetting the power you consume from the grid with the power you produce.
