Sizing, subsidies, net-metering and choosing an empanelled installer — all in plain language.
Is your roof suitable?
You need ~100 sqft per kWp of unshaded, south-facing area, and a structurally sound RCC or metal roof.
Sizing the system
As a rule of thumb, 1 kWp generates ~4.4–4.6 kWh/day in Telangana. Sizing to your monthly consumption avoids over-export and speeds payback.
PM Surya Ghar subsidy
Central subsidy pays ₹ 30,000/kW up to 2 kW, ₹ 18,000/kW for the next 1 kW, and ₹ 78,000 flat for systems ≥ 3 kW.
Choosing an installer
Only use TGREDCO-empanelled installers to keep subsidy eligibility and warranty valid.
