Introduction: Why Jaipur Is Perfect for Solar Panel Installation
Jaipur is rapidly becoming a solar city, thanks to its abundant sunshine and progressive local policies. With over 325 sunny days per year, investing in solar panels is a smart choice for both homes and businesses. But how do you actually install a solar energy system in Jaipur? Here’s a clear, practical roadmap to help you go solar with confidence in 2025.
1. Site Assessment — Start With a Professional Survey
Before installing solar panels, you need a thorough assessment of your rooftop or ground site.
– Roof Check: Ensure it’s structurally sound, strong enough for the panels and mounting frames, and free of excessive shading.
– Sunlight Exposure: The spot should receive direct sun for most of the day. South-facing roofs generally offer maximum efficiency.
– Space Calculation: Compute how much space is available and estimate your power needs (kW sizing).
2. Choose Your Solar System Type
Jaipur residents mainly choose among three types:
– On-Grid: Connected to the electricity grid, allows net metering.
– Off-Grid: Includes battery backup, ideal for areas with frequent outages.
– Hybrid: Mix of grid and battery, great for flexibility.
Professional providers like GreatSun Power Pvt Ltd help recommend the best system based on your budget and usage.
3. Apply for Subsidy — Save Big With Government Support
As of 2025, Rajasthan offers outstanding incentives:
– Central Subsidy: Up to ₹78,000 under PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana.
– State Add-on: Additional ₹17,000 for select households, totaling up to ₹95,000 in subsidy for 1.1 kW systems.
– How to Apply: Use the National Portal for Rooftop Solar (https://pmsuryaghar.gov.in) for quick online registration. Have your Aadhar card, property proof, bank details, and electricity bill ready.
– Who Qualifies: Residential owners, rural families, farmers (special Kusum Yojana). Businesses can access other schemes and financial benefits.
4. Selecting Panels, Inverter & Installer
– Panel Choice: Mono PERC panels are most efficient; check for MNRE certification.
– Inverter: Should match your system size; ask your installer for top brands.
– Installer: Always pick a DISCOM/MNRE-empanelled company for guaranteed workmanship.
– Typical Costs: In 2025, expect ₹75,000–₹85,000 per kW before subsidy for residential systems (₹45,000–₹50,000/kW after subsidy).
5. Installation — What to Expect
– Mounting Structure: Installed securely, designed for Jaipur’s weather.
– Panel Wiring: Professional, safe, and matched to inverter capacity.
– Electrical Upgrades: The installer will add necessary switches and meters.
– Testing & Commissioning: System is checked, and you’re taught how to monitor output.
Usually, installation takes 2–5 days for homes and 1–2 weeks for bigger sites.
6. Post-Installation — Maintenance & Monitoring
– Cleaning: Panels should be cleaned every 3–6 months; more often if dusty (service cost approx. ₹40,000/project for full maintenance).
– Inspection: Regular checks for wiring, inverter output, and mounting condition.
– Remote Monitoring: Most modern systems offer app-based performance tracking.
– Repairs & Support: Solar panels last 30+ years, but inverters may need replacement after 10–15 years. GreatSun Power Pvt Ltd provides AMC (Annual Maintenance Contract), cleaning, repairs, and upgrade support.
FAQ: Common Questions About Solar Installation in Jaipur
– How much space do I need? About 80–100sqft per kW. Flat, shadow-free roof is ideal.
– How long does it take to get subsidy? Typically, 2–3 months after installation and approval from government portals.
