Technology time to time tries to impress us by inventing such a solar power system which reduces the hassle of our electricity bills and is also good for the environment. This reduces the electricity consumption of our house and we choose to choose an eco friendly option. Today, almost everyone in India is choosing the option of solar power for home because it is symbolizing a growing future.
But the process of its uses is not easy so we will guide you completely, explain this process and you will also understand why a solar power system is the smartest investment for your home in 2026.
What is a solar power system?
Solar power system generates electricity from sunlight with the help of solar panels which are installed on rooftop. Our panels generate DC electricity which is converted into AC electricity through the inverter and through the grid it is converted into light to be used in our home and business.
How does Solar Power System work?
- Solar panels are called PV panels with the help of which electricity is generated from sunlight.
- We do not use DC electricity because it first goes into the inverter and then converts it into AC electricity.
- AC is saved by connecting to the electricity grid which is used in our normal use.
Main components of solar power system
Solar panels- Solar panels generate electricity from sunlight.
Inverter- converts DC to AC electricity.
Mounting structure- holds the panel to the rooftop.
Battery-backup saves the electricity used.
Charge controller- protects the battery.
Meter- for power mounting
Types of Solar Power System
Three type of solar power system:
On grid solar power system:
On grid solar system is used by people who want to reduce their electricity bill by 70-80%. It is connected to the grid. On grid solar system is very good for big business. It is very easy to install and maintain this system. Its cost is also less because the battery is not used in the on grid system. In this only solar panel, inverter and net meter is used.
Off grid solar power system:
Off grid solar system is mostly used in village areas because this system allows you to generate 100% electricity and this system is more expensive than on grid system because battery is also used for solar back up. By using this system you generate your own electricity and you do not have to depend on anyone’s electricity.
Hybrid solar power system
Hybrid solar system is used there where electricity is available but it is less. Hybrid solar system is both on grid solar system and off grid solar system. It has an inverter grid battery. It costs more than both but is quite reliable. Today’s industry demands a lot of hybrid solar power system.
Benefits of Solar Power for Home
Electricity bill has gone down
By using solar power system, electricity bill is reduced by 90% and dependence is eliminated.
Clean & Green Energy
Electricity made from fossil fuels generates pollution but solar power is a clean and eco friendly system.
Energy Independence
There is no need to depend on the electricity department, you generate your own electricity.
Low maintenance
The maintenance of solar power system is very less. Every year clean solar panel and every year check wiring only.
Cost of Solar Power System
Solar power system cost depends on how much section the loan has, panel brand and location.
Load Price
3kw ₹2,00,000
4kw ₹2,55,000
5kw ₹3,00,000
6kw ₹3,20,000
7kw ₹3,50,000
8kw ₹4,20,000
9kw ₹4,65,000
10kw ₹5,10,000
How much power does the house require?
System Size Daily Units Suitable For
1kW 4–5 units Small home
3kW 12–15 units Medium family
5kW 20–25 units Large home
Installation Process:
Site survey- The most complete team is here and shows the size of your rooftop or ground mounted and sunlight direction shows how much electricity is generated.
System design- The second process is designing the structure by surveying.
Approval & subsidy process- third process document verification and bank and subsidy process.
Structure installation- fourth process is structure installation on rooftop.
Panel fitting- fifth process solar panel which is made of polycrystalline and is fitted on the structure.
Inverter & wiring– After installing the sixth process panel, an inverter is hung which converts DC electricity into AC electricity which we use. Wiring process is done.
Testing & grid connectio– The seventh and last process is the inverter is connected to the app and the net meter is installed.
Is Solar Power System Worth It?
Yes, because the cost of installation is not that much because your government also supports you through pm surya ghar scheme subsidy, still your payback period is still 3-4 years. And the benefit of installation lasts for 25 years.
FAQ?
Q. What is solar power system?
Solar power system is a setup that generates electricity through sunlight. It has installed solar panel, inverter, battery and net meter.
Q. Is solar power safe for home?
Yes, solar power for home is absolutely safe for the environment as well as for the installer because it is an ecofriendly source.
Q. Does solar system work in rain and clouds?
Yes, the solar system works even in the rain but a little less than on a normal day.
Q. What is the life of a solar power system?
Solar panels have a minimum life of 20-25 years and inverters have a minimum life of 10-15 years.
Q. Is solar power available at night?
Direct, not so but if there is battery backup it will work even at night.
Q. What needs to be done in solar panel maintenance?
Maintenance of solar panels is to clean the panel every month and check the wiring every year.
Final Words
Solar power system is not just a trend today but the solution of the future. If you want a safe, affordable and long-term energy source for your home, solar power for home is the best option.
