Get Solar System for Home and Enjoy Huge Savings

Your roof should be strong enough to withstand the weight of the whole solar system, which is the weight of solar panels mounted on a steel structure. However, it varies from structure to structure. A standard rooftop solar (0.5 mt height) with 330 Wp PV modules mounted on a mounting structure of steel weighs about 11-12 KGs per square metre. If your roofing material is strong and durable enough to hold weight, then you can consider solar without a worry. However, a technical assessment by your solar installer will help you decide if your roof can take the added load of the solar system and if not, HomeScape Solar will suggest ways you can switch to solar without worrying about the load.

Since rooftop solar plants have no moving parts, maintenance requirements aside from routine cleaning are minimal. Also, warranties on solar equipment and comprehensive AMC packages will have you covered against any repair needs during the system’s lifespan. A major equipment failure is nonexistent, but you might need to troubleshoot, maintain, and replace some components in your home solar system’s lifetime.

Upgrading your home with a power-supplying solar plant eventually pays off through monthly energy savings. You can reduce your electricity bills by upto 90% on a monthly basis. You will also be unaffected by the rising electricity tariffs. Although your savings depends on the solar policies available for you, it is still a smart investment regardless.

Being a renewable energy source for homes, solar power is an environmentally-friendly alternative to electricity obtained from other conventional sources of electricity. Switching to solar helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions and thus prevent the harms of climate change on our planet.

Leveraging home solar power doesn’t mean you won’t receive an electricity bill unless your system is off the grid and you depend on solar batteries instead of the grid to supply you power on low production days. However, your solar bill can reflect zero or little amount payable or even solar credits depending on your electricity consumption. This means, net metering allows you to pay only for net electricity consumed after accounting for all the excess energy units you supply to the grid.

Grid-tied residential solar power systems will shut off if there is an outage in your area because you are getting electricity via your grid. This happens to avoid safety threats to the utility line repairmen and emergency responders from the green electricity your solar system sends to the grid. However, you can pair your inverter with a battery storage to avoid a blackout in your home. This way you can truly become energy independent.

Analyse your monthly energy consumption to ascertain your power needs. Also, the weather conditions in your area will affect the number of solar panels needed to capture enough sunlight for the desired energy generation. HomeScape will help you evaluate all the factors to make the right decision. To get an estimate, use our solar calculator to find out the approx. capacity of solar plant you need for your domestic consumption.

The high upfront cost of home solar systems might feel too much to handle, but financing options and government-offered subsidies are available to dramatically reduce the overall cost. HomeScape provides complete information and guidance to homeowners for making the switch to solar advantageous for our customers.
