Rooftop solar: your roof, your own power station
A rooftop system turns empty roof space into electricity for the whole home — lights, fans, ACs, hot water, even the boundary fence. Watch one come together, then see everything it powers.

Galvanised steel frame, anchored and angled to face the sun.

What the sun now powers
- Lights
- Fans

Frequently asked questions
What size of rooftop solar system do I need?
Size it from your electricity use: in Himachal Pradesh, each kW of panels makes about 120 units a month, so divide your monthly units by 120. Our calculator does this from your bill, and we confirm the size after a free site survey.
How much roof space is needed?
About 100 sq ft of shadow-free roof for every kW of panels.
Should I choose on-grid, hybrid or off-grid?
On-grid is connected to the grid with no battery and costs the least. Hybrid adds a battery that keeps essentials running in power cuts. Off-grid runs on batteries with no grid connection. On-grid and hybrid systems can get the PM Surya Ghar subsidy; off-grid systems are not covered.
Does rooftop solar work in Himachal winters?
Yes. Panels run on daylight, not heat, and work well in cold, clear weather. Output drops on cloudy, foggy or snowy days and on shorter winter days, so we size your system on a full year’s generation, and net metering credits the extra units you export on sunny days.
Can you install on a sloped roof or a tin shed?
Yes. We install on flat RCC roofs, sloped roofs and tin sheds, with a mounting structure suited to each.
What maintenance does rooftop solar need?
Very little: there are no moving parts, so a regular wash and a yearly check is all it needs. We offer cleaning and maintenance contracts (AMC).
What warranty do I get?
A 25 yrs panel performance warranty and a 5 yrs installation workmanship warranty.
