Frequently asked questions
Everything homeowners and businesses usually ask before going solar in Gorakhpur — cost, subsidy, timelines, and the government paperwork behind it.
A lot of these questions come down to one thing: paperwork.
Portal registration, DISCOM verification, net metering approval, subsidy claim tracking — it's a genuinely confusing process. Our team handles all of it for free as part of every installation, and we're happy to answer any question below (or one that isn't) with no obligation. Ask us directly →
How much does solar panel installation cost in Gorakhpur?
Cost depends on system size, which we estimate from your roof area, monthly electricity bill and venue type. Use the solar calculator for an instant estimate, or book a free site visit for an exact quote.
What subsidy is available for rooftop solar in Uttar Pradesh?
Residential installations can combine the central PM Surya Ghar subsidy (up to ₹78,000) with the Uttar Pradesh state top-up via UPNEDA (up to ₹30,000) — a combined benefit of up to about ₹1,08,000, subject to current UPNEDA budget allocation.
What happens if the UP state subsidy budget runs out?
The UPNEDA state top-up is subject to current budget allocation and can change. The central PM Surya Ghar subsidy is unaffected either way. We confirm current subsidy availability during your free site visit.
What government paperwork is involved, and who handles it?
A rooftop solar connection involves PM Surya Ghar portal registration, DISCOM verification, empanelled vendor selection, net metering approval, and subsidy claim tracking. Our team handles every one of these steps for you.
Do you charge extra for handling the subsidy paperwork?
No. Portal registration, DISCOM coordination, net metering and subsidy claim follow-up are all included free as part of every installation we do.
What is net metering, and do I have to arrange it myself?
Net metering is the DISCOM approval that lets your rooftop system export surplus power to the grid and offset your bill. We handle the entire net metering application and follow-up with your DISCOM on your behalf.
How long does a solar installation take?
Most residential and small commercial installations are completed within a few days of the free site visit and sizing confirmation, followed by DISCOM net metering paperwork.
Do you install solar for shops, offices and factories, or only homes?
We install for homes, shops, offices and factories across Gorakhpur and nearby areas, sizing each system to the venue's actual electricity load.
Which solar panels and brands do you use?
We use ALMM-listed (Approved List of Models and Manufacturers) modules built to handle Gorakhpur's heat and monsoon, which also keeps installations eligible for government subsidy.
How long do solar panels last?
Quality rooftop solar panels typically carry a usable lifespan of 25 or more years, with manufacturer performance warranties covering most of that period.
What if my roof has shading or an unusual shape?
Our free site visit includes a shading and roof assessment. We size and lay out the system around obstructions rather than using a fixed package.
