How much subsidy will I actually get?
For 3 kW or more: ₹1,08,000 in Puducherry (₹78,000 central + ₹30,000 UT) and ₹1,00,000 in Tamil Nadu (₹78,000 central + ₹22,000 state), if you meet the conditions above. For 2 kW it's ₹80,000 in Puducherry and ₹70,000 in Tamil Nadu.
Who receives the subsidy, and when?
The person named on the EB connection, straight into their bank account, after the system is installed, inspected and net-metered. We file the claim and keep you updated.
Does solar work in the monsoon?
Yes. It makes less on cloudy days and more on sunny ones. What matters is the yearly total, which is why our Savings Guarantee is written per year.
Will I have power during a power cut?
Not with a standard on-grid system. It switches off during a power cut so that linemen working on the lines stay safe. If you want backup, we can add a hybrid inverter and battery. That part isn't covered by the subsidy.
Can the panels survive a cyclone?
We use galvanised structures built for coastal wind and anchor them properly to your roof. For 5 years after installation, our Cyclone Care team checks and re-tightens them free after every IMD cyclone warning.
Can I get a loan?
Yes. Public-sector banks give collateral-free solar loans under PM Surya Ghar, at about 5.75% for loans up to ₹2 lakh (the bank decides the final rate). We help with the paperwork. You can use the subsidy to prepay the loan, so your EMI can end up smaller than your old EB bill.
Is my roof suitable?
You need about 100 sq ft of shade-free roof per kW. RCC terraces and sheet roofs both work. We check shade, strength and the EB connection for free.
The EB connection is in my father's name. Is that a problem?
No. The subsidy is paid to the person named on the connection, so you can apply in his name or transfer the connection first. We'll tell you which is faster.
How much maintenance does it need?
Rinse the panels with plain water every 2–4 weeks; near the sea, salt and dust build up faster. Panels carry a 25-year performance warranty from the manufacturer, and our 5-year system warranty covers the rest.
