Mansarovar Bungalow — 10 kW Rooftop Solar

Project Overview

A Doctor's Home That Now Earns From the Sun

The Challenge

Dr. Anita Verma's three-storey bungalow in Mansarovar Colony, Jaipur, was consuming electricity like a small clinic. Between the air conditioners — two inverter ACs on the second floor, one in the consulting room on the ground floor — plus the RO unit, washing machine, refrigerators, and round-the-clock security lighting, her monthly bill regularly crossed ₹15,000 in summer. She had been considering solar for three years but was held back by two concerns: the aesthetics of her recently renovated terrace, and whether panels would survive Jaipur's intense dust storms.

The terrace had a partial staircase cover that created shade on the northern section. An additional water tank and two small AC outdoor units occupied the south-western corner. Usable, shade-free area was approximately 72 m² — enough for 10 kW but requiring precise layout to avoid any self-shading throughout the year.

The FGPS Solution

Our design team ran a full 8-760 hour shade simulation and identified a 56 m² sweet spot on the south-facing slope, accommodating 24 panels in four strings of six. We specified a single-phase hybrid inverter with battery-ready architecture, giving Dr. Verma the option to add storage later without rewiring. Mounting was done on a low-profile MS angle structure finished in charcoal grey, complementing the terrace's existing tile work. Bird guards were fitted along all panel edges.

Installation was completed in three days with zero damage to the terrace waterproofing. Our team used custom rubber-pad isolators under every bracket base plate. The system was commissioned, DISCOM net-metering applied for, and the first bi-directional meter installed within 18 days of the contract date — a record for the Jaipur Vidyut Vitran Nigam (JVVNL) jurisdiction.
