Rooftop Solar for Homes & Businesses

Most RCC concrete terraces with at least 100–150 sq ft of unshaded area are suitable. Our free site survey checks roof orientation (south-facing is ideal in India), structural load-bearing capacity, angle, and shading from trees, water tanks, or neighbouring buildings. If your roof has partial shading, we can use micro-inverters or optimisers to maximise output. Sloped tile roofs and metal sheet roofs can also be fitted with appropriate mounting systems.

Net metering allows you to export surplus solar power to the grid and receive a credit on your electricity bill. When your panels generate more than you're consuming — typically during sunny midday hours — the excess flows to the grid and your meter runs backwards. At the end of the billing cycle, you pay only for the net units consumed (grid units minus exported units). In Rajasthan, the net metering programme is managed through Jaipur, Ajmer, or Jodhpur DISCOMS depending on your location. We coordinate the full net meter application and approval process on your behalf.

Very little. Solar panels have no moving parts and are extremely durable. In Rajasthan, dust accumulation is the primary cause of output loss. A light water wash every 6–8 weeks (or after dust storms) keeps panels at peak efficiency — this takes about 15 minutes for a standard residential system. Our systems include remote monitoring that alerts you and us to any performance anomalies. We also recommend an annual professional inspection, which FGPS Solar offers free for the first 3 years for all installed customers.

Yes — modern solar panels generate electricity even in diffuse light conditions, just at reduced output. Rajasthan receives an average of 300+ sunny days per year, so production losses from monsoon (typically June–September) are offset by exceptionally high generation during the remaining 8 months. Our grid-tied systems seamlessly draw from the DISCOM grid when solar isn't generating enough, so you're never without power. Net metering credits built up during peak summer months can offset monsoon-period grid consumption, keeping your bills low year-round.

Absolutely. Housing societies and apartment complexes are among the best candidates for rooftop solar. Common-area solar systems can power lifts, lobby lighting, water pumps, security lighting, and other shared loads — delivering strong ROI shared across all residents. Under the PM Surya Ghar scheme, group housing societies qualify for enhanced subsidies. Individual flat owners wishing to install on dedicated roof space require society approval, which many societies now readily grant given the benefits. We help societies navigate the approval process, engineering design, and DISCOM net metering application from start to finish.
