How home solar saves your money

A rooftop solar system turns your roof into a power plant. It offsets the units you would otherwise buy from the grid, so your monthly bill drops sharply. With net metering, surplus daytime generation is exported and credited, and with PM Surya Ghar subsidy the upfront cost comes down further. Most homes recover their investment within a few years and then enjoy free solar power for decades.

Choose your system size

The right size depends on your monthly consumption and roof area. As a quick guide:

Each size has its own page with roof area, expected generation, indicative cost and subsidy.

Quality panels last 25 years or more. Multi Solar modules carry up to a 30-year performance warranty, so they keep generating well beyond the payback period.
