Why India’s Solar Boom Needs a Quality Wake-Up Call — Before It’s Too Late

Once hailed as a space for quality engineering and long-term energy independence, the Indian solar market is at risk of becoming the next sabzi mandi — driven by price wars, short-term players, and compromised quality.

Across cities and towns, local and unorganised vendors are selling 6-panel systems for ₹1.65–₹1.85 lakhs — and they’re everywhere. But behind these tempting deals lies a harsh reality.

Most of these vendors are one-man armies, operating without proper design logic, load analysis, or long-term service plans. For them, solar is just another product — not a 25-year asset on your rooftop.

The Cost of Cutting Corners

Here’s what we’re already seeing on the ground:

• Inverters failing within 2 years

• Mismatched or poorly aligned panels

• Underperforming systems

• Customers never reaching their break-even point

And worst of all — people begin to lose faith in solar itself.

This growing distrust doesn’t just affect individual homes. It sets back the nation’s clean energy movement.

The Quality EPC Dilemma

For genuine, quality-focused EPCs (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction providers), the pressure is real. Competing with underpriced, underbuilt systems is a daily struggle.

So, what should they do?

• Cut corners to match the market?

• Or walk away from solar altogether?

This isn’t just a business problem. It’s an energy crisis in the making.

A Shift in Mindset is Crucial

If India is to truly go solar — in a sustainable, reliable way — we need to change the conversation.

Let’s move from:

“Kitne ka lagayenge?”
To
“Kitna chalega aur kitna bachaayega?”

Because in solar, cheap today often means expensive tomorrow.
