FAQs (Frequently asked Questions)

Yes, solar panels continue to generate electricity even on cloudy or overcast days. While their efficiency may be lower compared to sunny days, modern panels are designed to capture diffused sunlight, ensuring consistent power production year-round.

Yes, but your electricity bill will be greatly reduced or possibly even eliminated depending on the size of your solar system and how much energy you consume. You’ll only pay for the additional grid power, if required, after utilizing your solar output.

Net metering is a billing system that credits solar system owners for the electricity they add to the grid. When your solar panels produce more electricity than you consume, the excess is sent to the grid and you receive credits, reducing your overall utility bill.

Yes. The Indian government, through MNRE, offers up to 40% subsidies on residential rooftop solar systems. These financial incentives significantly lower your upfront investment, making solar energy more accessible to homeowners across India.

Most solar panels have a performance warranty of 25 years, and many continue to generate electricity efficiently even beyond that. With proper maintenance, the system can function reliably for 30+ years.

Most rooftops are suitable for solar installations, including flat and sloped roofs. However, factors like direction, shade, available space, and structural integrity are assessed during the initial site inspection to ensure optimal energy production.

On-grid systems automatically shut down during a power cut for safety. If you want backup during outages, you should opt for a hybrid or off-grid system with battery storage, which allows uninterrupted power supply during blackouts.

Savings depend on system size and electricity consumption. Typically, a homeowner in India can save between ₹30,000 to ₹60,000 per year, and over ₹10 lakhs over a 25-year period. These savings can be higher in areas with high electricity tariffs.

System size depends on your average monthly electricity usage. A 3kW to 5kW system is suitable for most Indian households. Our team at Bright Fields Energy offers personalized assessments to determine the ideal size for your needs.

Absolutely. Solar energy is a clean, green, and renewable source that produces no greenhouse gases or air pollutants. By switching to solar, you actively contribute to reducing India's carbon emissions and fighting climate change.

Once site inspection and approvals are completed, installation typically takes 2 to 5 working days. The timeline may vary slightly depending on roof type, weather conditions, and the complexity of the system.

On-grid systems are connected to the main electricity grid and allow net metering. Off-grid systems are standalone and include battery storage for energy independence in areas with unreliable grid connections or no access to electricity.

Launched in 2024, the PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana is a government scheme aimed at providing up to 300 units of free electricity per month to eligible households by encouraging rooftop solar installations. It offers significant subsidies to reduce installation costs.

Indian households owning their homes with sufficient rooftop space are eligible. The scheme primarily targets low and middle-income families. Applicants must have a valid electricity connection and meet local DISCOM norms.

Yes, cleaning your solar panels every 2–4 weeks helps maintain optimal efficiency, especially in dusty or polluted environments. Bright Fields Energy offers maintenance services to ensure long-term performance.

Yes, solar systems can support all household appliances, including air conditioners, refrigerators, and washing machines. Your system should be designed to match your total load requirements for seamless operation.

Yes, Bright Fields Energy offers a range of financing options including easy EMIs, loans through partner banks, and zero upfront cost models under RESCO. We also assist you in availing government subsidies and approvals.

The central government provides a subsidy of up to ₹78,000 for a 3kW rooftop solar system. The actual subsidy amount depends on system size and varies across different states and DISCOMs.

Yes, solar systems are modular and scalable. You can easily expand your existing setup by adding more panels or upgrading your inverter capacity as your electricity consumption increases.

The PM-KUSUM (Pradhan Mantri Kisan Urja Suraksha evam Utthaan Mahabhiyan) scheme supports farmers by promoting the use of solar-powered irrigation pumps and off-grid systems. It helps reduce diesel dependence and ensures affordable energy access in rural areas.

Bright Fields Energy uses high-quality components with 25-year warranties on solar panels and 5 to 10 years on inverters. This ensures reliability and peace of mind for decades.

Yes, you can achieve complete energy independence with an off-grid solar system that includes sufficient battery storage. This is ideal for remote areas or those facing frequent power outages.

PM-KUSUM consists of three components:

• Component-A: Solarizing existing grid-connected pumps.

• Component-B: Installation of standalone solar pumps in off-grid areas.

• Component-C: Solarizing agricultural feeders for community farming needs.

The average cost of a 3kW solar system is between ₹2,00,000 to ₹2,50,000 before subsidies. After applying government subsidies, the net cost may reduce to around ₹1,20,000–₹1,50,000.

Currently, government subsidies are available only for residential rooftop solar systems. However, commercial projects can still benefit from depreciation benefits and tax incentives.

Yes, solar panels work during the rainy season, although energy generation may be lower. As long as daylight is present, the panels continue to generate electricity, just at a reduced rate.

Bright Fields Energy manages the entire process—including site inspection, documentation, government subsidy applications, and DISCOM approvals—making your switch to solar completely hassle-free.

With years of experience, high-quality equipment, transparent pricing, and expert customer service, Bright Fields Energy offers complete solar solutions tailored for Indian conditions. We handle everything from consultation to installation and maintenance.

Yes. Bright Fields Energy assists in end-to-end execution—from system design and installation to applying for subsidies and securing approvals under PM Surya Ghar and PM-KUSUM schemes. Our team ensures a smooth, hassle-free experience.
