Step-by-step guide

Rooftop solar installation roadmap

Navigating solar adoption requires clear technical steps. We guide property owners from initial sunlight evaluation to grid synchronization without high-pressure pitches.

The workflow

Four stages to power

01

04

Sunlight & structural assessment

Technical vendor evaluation

DISCOM sanction approval

Installation & grid commissioning

Comparing quotations from vetted local installation partners with verified component specifications and warranties.

Submitting net-metering applications and grid connectivity documentation to local electricity distribution companies.

Evaluating rooftop shade coverage, structural load capacity, and current electrical sanction load before submitting feeder paperwork.

Mounting photovoltaic modules, wiring protective inverters, and completing net meter synchronization for active power generation.

Site readiness

Three essential property checks

Verify these key technical criteria before placing component deposits or signing installation agreements.

Structure
Exposure
Electrical

Roof load capacity

Unshaded solar hours

Sanctioned meter capacity

Reinforced concrete terraces or sturdy tin sheds must safely support solar module mounting structures against high wind loads.

Rooftops require at least five hours of unobstructed southern sunlight daily, clear of adjacent water tanks or tree shadows.

Your existing DISCOM connection limit determines the maximum kilowatt capacity eligible for net-metered grid connection.
