Solar off Grid Systems
"Independent Solar Power for Remote Areas"
Off-grid solar systems are standalone setups that store solar energy in batteries, making them ideal for areas without access to the electricity grid. These systems provide uninterrupted power supply and are perfect for rural locations, farms, or backup energy needs. Embrace energy independence with reliable off-grid solutions.
Solar On Grid Systems
"Efficient, Grid-Connected Solar Solutions"
On-grid solar systems, also known as grid-tied systems, are directly connected to the local electricity grid. They allow you to utilize solar energy during the day and seamlessly switch to grid power when needed. With net metering, you can feed surplus energy back into the grid, reducing electricity bills and maximizing efficiency.
Solar Hybrid Systems
"Flexible Solar Solutions with Backup Power"
Hybrid solar systems combine the best of on-grid and off-grid technologies, offering grid connectivity with battery backup. These systems ensure energy reliability by storing solar power for use during outages while also allowing grid interaction for consistent energy flow. Perfect for homes and businesses looking for flexibility and resilience.

-
Can I expand my solar capacity in the future?Yes, most systems are scalable. You can add more panels and inverters as long as your roof has sufficient space and your sanctioned load supports it.
-
Can I run AC on an on-grid solar rooftop system?Yes, you can run as many ACs as you want on an on-grid solar system, but it depends on your sanctioned load from the electricity board, not your solar capacity. Since on-grid systems are connected to the grid, the electricity supply comes directly from the meter, ensuring you can power your appliances without limitations based on the solar system size. However, the solar system will help offset your electricity bill by generating energy that reduces your overall consumption cost.
-
How long does it take to install a solar rooftop system?The installation of a typical residential solar rooftop system (e.g., 3-5 kW) takes 2-5 days after approvals, depending on the complexity and site conditions.
-
How do I choose the right solar system capacity for my home?To choose the right system: Calculate your monthly electricity consumption in kWh. Match it with a solar capacity (e.g., a 5 kW system generates ~600 units/month). Consult a professional to account for space, roof condition, and sanctioned load.
-
Do I need to clean my solar panels?Yes, cleaning 1-2 times a month is recommended. Use a soft nylon brush or sponge and avoid detergents or metal brushes. Clean the panels in the early morning or evening for safety.
-
What capacity solar system should I install?The system capacity depends on your energy consumption and sanctioned load. For example, a 3 kW system is ideal for a household with monthly consumption of 300-400 units.
-
What is the maximum subsidy under PM Suryaghar Muft Bijli Yojna in Uttar Pradesh?Under the PM Suryaghar Muft Bijli Yojna in Uttar Pradesh, the maximum combined subsidy for solar rooftop systems is ₹1,08,000 for systems of 3 kW and above. Here's the breakdown: 3 kW, 4 kW, or 5 kW Systems: Central Subsidy: ₹78,000 State Subsidy: ₹30,000 Total Subsidy: ₹1,08,000 Note: The subsidy amount remains the same for systems of 3 kW, 4 kW, and 5 kW, as ₹1,08,000 is the capped subsidy for these capacities. These subsidies significantly lower the cost of solar installations, encouraging wider adoption of clean energy solutions.
-
What happens if my solar panels generate more electricity than I consume?If you have an on-grid system, the excess electricity is sent back to the grid through net metering. You’ll receive credits for this, which can reduce your future electricity bills.
-
Does weather affect solar power generation ?Solar panels generate electricity even on cloudy days but at reduced efficiency.
-
Can I install solar if my roof is not concrete?Yes, solar panels can be installed on almost any roof type. If your roof is brittle or unstable, Ikaya Earth provides roof reinforcement solutions as part of the project.
-
Can I get a subsidy on a hybrid solar rooftop?Yes, subsidies are available for hybrid solar systems
-
What is the difference between on-grid and off-grid systems?On-grid systems are connected to the grid, allowing you to export excess power. Off-grid systems work independently and use batteries to store energy for backup.
-
Can a solar project damage my roof?No, Ikaya Earth uses non-penetrating structures and waterproofing solutions to protect your roof. Our installations meet global safety standards, ensuring no damage to your existing structure.
-
If my sanctioned load is 3 kW, can I install a 4 kW system?No, you must first increase your sanctioned load from the discom to 4 kW before installing a higher-capacity solar system.
-
Does a solar rooftop have high maintenance costs?No, solar rooftops require minimal maintenance. Cleaning the panels 1-2 times a month is sufficient. Ikaya Earth also provides free maintenance support for the first five years.
-
How can I protect my solar panels from damage during extreme weather?High-quality panels are designed to withstand heavy winds, hailstorms, and extreme heat. Additionally, professional installation ensures panels are securely mounted to avoid damage.
-
What happens to extra units generated?Excess energy from on-grid systems is exported to the grid. You receive credits for this energy, reducing your electricity bill.
-
Can I monitor my solar system’s performance remotely?Yes, modern solar inverters come with real-time monitoring systems. Using apps, you can track energy generation, usage, and savings directly from your phone or computer.
-
How does a hybrid solar system work, and is it better for homes in Lucknow and Noida?A hybrid solar system combines the benefits of on-grid and off-grid systems. It allows you to store excess power in batteries while also being connected to the grid. This ensures uninterrupted power during outages, making it ideal for areas with frequent power cuts, like some parts of Lucknow and Noida.
-
Will installing a solar rooftop system increase the load on my roof?Solar panels are lightweight and add minimal load, typically 10-15 kg per sq. ft. Modern installation techniques ensure that the roof's integrity remains intact, even on older structures.
-
What is the life of a solar rooftop?The lifespan of a solar rooftop system is 25 years. Solar panels come with a 25-year warranty, while inverters typically have a warranty of 5-12 years.
-
How much space is required for installing a solar rooftop system in square feet?You need approximately 50 sq. ft. of shadow-free area to install 1 kW of solar panels. For instance: A 3 kW system requires ~150 sq. ft. A 5 kW system requires ~250 sq. ft. The exact space may vary depending on the type and efficiency of solar panels used, but these are standard estimates for most installations.
