A Complete Guide to Rooftop & Ground-Mounted Solar by PS Solar
Electricity bills are rising month after month, and both homeowners and businesses are searching for smarter, more affordable alternatives. The answer lies right above us — the Sun! 🌞
Sunlight is free, abundant, and available every day. With solar energy, you can convert this free sunlight into usable electricity for your home, housing society, or business. At PS Solar Projects, we make this transition simple, reliable, and affordable.
Why Go Solar in India?
Rising Electricity Costs – Electricity tariffs are increasing every year. By installing solar, you lock in free power for 30+ years.
Government Subsidies – Under the PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana, homeowners can receive up to ₹1,08,000 subsidy in Uttar Pradesh and ₹78,000 in other states. The scheme also provides 300 units of free electricity per month for 1 crore households.
Eco-Friendly Choice – Solar reduces carbon emissions, making it a clean and green solution for India’s energy needs.
Huge Savings – Rooftop solar can cut electricity bills by 60–70%, freeing up money for your family, business, or investments.
The Solar Boom in India
According to reports, rooftop solar installations in India surpassed 3 GW in just the first nine months of 2023, a massive 58% growth compared to 2022. By the end of the year, India’s renewable energy capacity touched 133.88 GW, showcasing the country’s shift towards sustainable energy.
The biggest motivator? The government’s solar subsidy programs, which make solar power accessible and affordable for millions of households.
Common Myths & Misconceptions
Unfortunately, misinformation often confuses homeowners and housing societies. Some of the most common myths include:
Zero Bills from Day One – Vendors falsely claim that bills vanish immediately. In reality, savings depend on your consumption and system size.
50-Year Guarantee – Panels typically last 25–30 years, not 50.
Generic Installations – Ignoring key factors like rooftop shadow, sanctioned load, and yearly electricity consumption leads to poor efficiency.
Unqualified Vendors – Many small contractors offer solar without proper engineering knowledge, risking your investment.

Rooftop vs Ground-Mounted Solar
Solar isn’t one-size-fits-all. Here’s the difference:
Rooftop Solar
✅ Uses unused roof space
✅ Eligible for government subsidies
✅ 20% cheaper than ground-mounted systems
✅ Ideal for homes, apartments, and housing societies
Ground-Mounted Solar
⚡ Installed on open land
⚡ Types include standard ground-rack, pole-mounted, fixed-tilt, single-axis, and dual-axis trackers
⚡ Often 15–20% more expensive due to land clearing, stronger foundations, cabling, and maintenance
⚡ Best suited for large-scale utility plants or industrial projects
💡 Verdict: For most households and housing societies, rooftop solar is the better choice because it’s more affordable, space-efficient, and subsidy-supported.
Cost of Solar Systems in India
Rooftop Solar – More affordable, with subsidies reducing upfront cost.
Ground-Mounted Solar – Approx. ₹2.16–2.40 lakh for a 2 kW system and ₹6.96–7.68 lakh for a 10 kW system, depending on site conditions.
