How Solar Power Works
Understanding the process from consultation to installation and beyond.
Understanding Solar Energy
Learn how solar panels convert sunlight into electricity to power your home or business.
How Solar Panels Work
Solar panels, also known as photovoltaic (PV) panels, convert sunlight into electricity through the following process:
- 1
Capturing Sunlight
Solar panels contain photovoltaic cells made of silicon that absorb photons from sunlight.
- 2
Generating Electricity
When photons hit the cells, they knock electrons free, creating a flow of electricity.
- 3
Converting Current
The panels produce DC (direct current) electricity, which is converted to AC (alternating current) by an inverter.
- 4
Powering Your Home
The AC electricity flows through your home's electrical panel to power your appliances and devices.

Net Metering: Maximizing Your Savings
Net metering allows you to send excess electricity back to the grid and receive credits on your utility bill.
How Net Metering Works
When your solar system produces more electricity than you're using, the excess is sent to the grid, spinning your meter backward.
Billing Credits
You receive credits for the excess electricity, which can offset the cost of power drawn from the grid when your system isn't producing (like at night).
State Policies
Net metering policies vary by state in India. Our experts will explain the specific benefits available in your location.

Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about solar energy and our installation process.
How long does installation take?
Most residential installations are completed in 1-3 days, depending on system size and complexity. Commercial installations may take longer.
What happens during power outages?
Standard grid-tied systems will shut down during power outages for safety reasons. If you want backup power during outages, we recommend adding battery storage to your system.
How much maintenance do solar panels require?
Solar panels require minimal maintenance. In most areas of India, natural rainfall helps keep panels clean. We recommend a professional cleaning and inspection once or twice a year.
What government incentives are available?
Various central and state government subsidies are available for solar installations in India. These vary by location and system type. Our consultants will explain all incentives available to you.
How long do solar panels last?
Premium solar panels typically come with a 25-year performance warranty and can continue producing electricity for 30+ years, though at slightly reduced efficiency in later years.
