How does rooftop solar connect with KSEB supply?
Panels generate DC, the inverter converts it to AC to power your appliances first. Excess exports through a bidirectional net meter; at night you draw from the grid. You are billed on net units consumed.
Is my house suitable for rooftop solar?
Most houses with clear, south or west-facing roof area are suitable. What matters is shadow-free roof space, the roof’s structural condition, and your KSEB connection capacity. We check all of it in a free on-site assessment, with no obligation to proceed.
Can I get both the ₹78,000 subsidy and a concessional loan?
Yes — this is how most residential customers finance their installation under PM Surya Ghar. You take a concessional loan from a participating PSU bank, and the subsidy is credited to your loan account within 30–45 days of KSEB commissioning, reducing your outstanding balance and EMI.
Who qualifies for PM Surya Ghar in Kerala?
Indian citizens with a residential property and an active KSEB consumer number. The property must be in your name or an immediate family member’s. Grid-connected rooftop systems qualify, with the maximum ₹78,000 subsidy reached at 3 kWp.
Is subsidy available for commercial properties?
No — PM Surya Ghar is for residential properties only. Commercial installations can benefit from 40% accelerated depreciation under the Income Tax Act and GST input credit on solar equipment, which we cover during your consultation.
How often should panels be cleaned in Kerala?
Two to four times a year. The dry season (December–March) brings dust and bird droppings that can cut output by 15–25%, and post-monsoon silt is common. Our AMC plans include scheduled cleaning visits.
