Frequently Asked Questions

What is a solar rooftop system?

A solar rooftop system is a combination of many components that convert sunlight into usable electricity.

The components of a rooftop solar include the following –

Solar panels with PV cells
Solar inverter
Solar panel mounting structures
AC and DC cables

AC combiner box
DC combiner box
Earthing cables
MC4 connectors

How does a solar rooftop system work ?

A solar rooftop system works on the concept of conversion of sunlight into electricity. The phenomenon is known as the photovoltaic effect.

When sunlight falls on the PV cells in a solar panel, the sunlight is converted into electricity. The generated power is DC current. An AC combiner box is used to convert that DC power into usable AC power.

The generated AC electricity is fed into a bidirectional meter that supplies power to the house. It also exports excess power to the DISCOM (grid) and imports power from the grid if electricity generated by the rooftop solar system is not enough to cover the daily requirement.

How to apply for a solar rooftop subsidy ?

Under the DBT scheme, the subsidy application process has become much easier. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown:

Visit the National Portal for Rooftop Solar website.
Download the Sandes app from the website and install it.
Register as a customer on the Sandes app.
Once registered, a discom official will visit your home to assess technical feasibility.
After receiving the No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the official, choose SolarSquare as your solar installation company.
Discuss the project details with us and sign an agreement.
Upon receiving payment, we will commence the installation process.
We will then provide a work completion report and apply for a net meter installation on your behalf.
You will receive a commissioning certificate upon completion.
Submit your bank account information and upload a copy of a cancelled cheque through the National Portal for Rooftop Solar.
Once the fund handling agency receives your details, the subsidy will be credited to your bank account within 30 days.

By following these steps, you can smoothly complete the process and enjoy the benefits of solar energy.

What is the life of a rooftop solar system ?

The Solar Plant life is 25 years. The main components are solar panels and inverters. Solar panels have a warranty of 25 years and inverter warranty ranges from 5-12 years.

Do Solar Rooftop projects have a high maintenance cost ?

A Solar Rooftop module comprises minimal moving parts and hence has very low maintenance cost. SunOcean Energy provides first 5-year maintenance free of cost to clients ensuring a hassle free experience for all our customers.

Can Solar projects damage my roof ?

SunOcean Energy has a UL certification (one of the highest quality and safety standards in the world) and ensures that no damage to the existing structures takes place during the installation or running of the solar plant. We use a multitude of techniques like non-penetrating structures and waterproofing solutions to ensure your roof’s integrity.

How much does a solar Plant cost ?

The cost of a solar plant depends on its size, configuration and degree of supporting structures required. We provide you multiple options to choose from, designed specifically to meet your requirements.

Are there any subsidies provided by the government for solar projects ?

There are no subsidies available for commercial entities. For residential rooftop solar projects, subsidies are released by state governments intermittently. Whenever subsidy is applicable, SunOcean Energy provides it upfront to the customer in the project cost itself. At present, the Madhya Pradesh government has released a lucrative solar subsidy for the residential sector. The various slabs of subsidy are –

Segment	Solar Project size	Subsidy
Individual house	1-2 kW	₹30,000/- to ₹60,000/-
Individual house	2-3 kW	₹60,000/- to ₹ 78,000/-
Individual house	Above 3kW	₹78,000/-
Group Housing Societies/Residential Welfare Associations		Rs 18,000/kw

What is the difference between CapEx and OpEx models ?

In a Capex model, the entire investment comes from the power consumer. The consumer hires a solar EPC company who provides turnkey installation of the entire solar power system and hands over assets to consumers. EPC also does annual operation and maintenance (O&M) of plant. In the OPEX model, an investor or project developer (sometimes called Renewable Energy Service Company –RESCO) invests the CAPEX and the consumer pays for the energy consumed. Both consumer and developer sign a long-term power purchase agreement (PPA) for an agreed tenure & tariff.
