DiscussiWhy More Indians Are Switching to Solar with PS Solar

With electricity tariffs rising year after year, limited-time government subsidies, and the growing urgency of climate change, Indians are rapidly turning to solar energy.

Reports show that in the first nine months of 2023, solar panel adoption saw a major boost, with rooftop solar installations crossing 3 GW capacity, marking a 58% growth over 2022. By the end of the year, India’s total renewable energy capacity reached 133.88 GW, underlining the country’s momentum towards a sustainable future.

One of the biggest drivers behind this shift has been the PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana, which offers households up to 300 units of free electricity per month. In the Interim Budget 2024-25, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman expanded the scheme, announcing subsidies of ₹1,08,000 in Uttar Pradesh and ₹78,000 in other states for residential solar systems. This has made solar power not only more affordable but also an attractive investment for millions of homeowners across India.

⚠️ Common Misconceptions About Solar

While the scheme has motivated many, misinformation in the market often misleads consumers:

Overpromised Savings: Some vendors falsely claim that electricity bills will drop to zero immediately after installation.

Unrealistic Lifespan: Guarantees of panels lasting 50 years without performance drop are exaggerated.

Poor Design Practices: Vendors often overlook key factors like annual electricity consumption, sanctioned load, and shadow-free rooftop area, leading to poor efficiency.

Unqualified Installers: Many fly-by-night vendors with little engineering expertise enter the solar market, offering substandard solutions.

Although the solar industry is regulated, the market is still highly unorganised. This makes choosing the right installer absolutely critical.

🔑 Why Choose PS Solar for Your Rooftop Installation?

At PS Solar, we believe that a successful solar system is not just about panels — it’s about engineering excellence. A well-designed and installed system combines mechanical, electrical, electronics, civil, and design engineering expertise.

  1. Shadow Analysis

Nearby trees, towers, or buildings can cast shadows, drastically reducing your system’s performance. Many local vendors ignore this and simply use any available space.
👉 At PS Solar, our experts conduct a 365-day shadow analysis of your rooftop to ensure panels are installed in the sunniest, shadow-free zones. This guarantees maximum power generation and long-term reliability.

  1. Design Engineering

There is no “one-size-fits-all” solar system. Every installation must be customized based on your energy consumption, rooftop conditions, and environmental factors.
👉 PS Solar’s design engineers carefully size and select components, optimise panel layouts for maximum sunlight, and ensure structural integrity and electrical safety.

  1. Robust Mounting Structures

The mounting structure is the backbone of your solar setup. Weak structures can fail under strong winds, putting your investment at risk.
👉 At PS Solar, we use high-quality, engineered mounting systems built to withstand tough weather, ensuring your system stays safe and efficient for decades.
