Why Your Roof Matters: The Power of Rooftop Solar

India enjoys abundant sunshine—over 300 days a year in many places. This makes rooftops one of the most under-used energy assets in a country with rising electricity costs. By installing a rooftop solar system, you don’t just save on utility bills—you become part of the clean energy transition.

At Vigood Solartek, we help homeowners convert this potential into reality: high-quality solar panels, strong mounting systems (including our specialty solar panel stands), reliable inverters, and streamlined installation. Here’s how you benefit.

What the Government Is Doing to Help

The central government has rolled out several programmes that make rooftop solar much more affordable. These create a strong case for acting now. Some of the key features:

Subsidies & Support

• Under the PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana, the cabinet approved a budget of about ₹ 75,021 crore to support rooftop solar in homes.

• Residential consumers installing grid-connected rooftop solar systems can get Central Financial Assistance (CFA). For example: up to ~₹ 30,000 subsidy per kW for the first 2 kW, and ~₹ 18,000 per kW up to 3 kW (with the total subsidy capped at ~₹ 78,000 for systems ≥ 3 kW).

• Must use vendor/installer empanelled under the scheme and meet guidelines (eg: rooftop must suit, grid‐connect only).

• Beyond subsidies, several states add additional support—state‐level capital subsidies, interest rebates, or special offers.

What This Means for You

• Your upfront cost goes down significantly.

• Your monthly bills can drop—and plus you shield yourself from future hikes in grid tariffs.

• Your house’s market value can improve when equipped with a solar setup.

• For farmers or large users, solar helps reduce dependence on diesel or high-tariff power.

How to Move Ahead (Simple Steps)

1. Evaluate your roof – size, orientation, shading, structural strength.

2. Check your electricity usage – how many units/month, your tariff, likely solar system size.

3. Choose your installer/brand – look for quality panels, reliable mounting (we at Vigood Solartek emphasise sturdy stands designed for Indian rooftop conditions), certified inverters, warranties.

4. Apply for subsidy – register on the national portal (for many states) or via your local DISCOM. Ensure the vendor is approved.

5. Install and connect – once installed, your system should be grid connected (net-metering where applicable) and approved by the utility.

6. Start generating – your bills reduce, you may generate surplus energy, you enjoy the benefits.

Key Considerations & Things to Watch

• Ensure your roof is in good condition—if not, plan for repairs before installing panels.

• Be aware of the net-metering policy in your state (rates, ability to export energy).

• Check that the installer uses modules listed in the government’s approved list (eg: “Made in India” / ALMM list) if you’re availing subsidy.

• While subsidies reduce cost, you still want to evaluate the payback period and long-term savings given your tariff and usage.

• Maintenance is relatively low, but panels and mounting must be cleaned and checked periodically.

• Understand warranty terms—for both panels (often 25 years) and inverter (often 5-10 years).
