The idea
Rooftop solar is the most proven home upgrade in India today. Panels on your terrace convert sunlight into electricity, net metering lets you export what you don't use, and the central subsidy has never been better.
What to know
A typical Delhi NCR home running on a Rs 2,000-4,000 monthly bill needs a 2-3 kW system. Grid-connected (on-grid) systems are the default choice - no batteries, lowest cost, and your meter runs backwards when you export. Expect 25 years of panel life with minimal cleaning and one inverter replacement around year 10-12.
