How Our Rooftop Solar Installation Process Works

We've refined our rooftop solar installation process over 15 years and hundreds of projects. Here's what the journey looks like from your first enquiry to the day your system starts generating power.

01

Free Rooftop Site Assessment

Our engineers evaluate rooftop area, shading, structural integrity, and grid connection. We review 6–12 months of bills to estimate savings, free.

02

Custom Rooftop Solar System Design

Based on the site assessment, our team designs a solar layout maximising energy yield. You receive a proposal with capacity, savings and ROI.

03

DISCOM Approvals and Commissioning

Our certified teams install mounting structures, secure rooftop solar panels, and handle DISCOM approvals and commissioning. Every installation follows IS/IEC standards and specifications.

04

Remote Monitoring & Ongoing Support

Your system connects to a monitoring platform. You track solar generation and savings in real time. Our team monitors and responds within 48 hours if needed.

Flexible Financing Models

Choose the procurement model that fits your balance sheet.

CAPEX Model

SELF-OWNED

Under the CAPEX model, you invest in and own your rooftop solar system outright. This is the highest-ROI option for businesses and homeowners who want maximum long-term savings, full asset ownership and access to tax incentives, with complete financial control and long-term cost stability.

  • Own the asset with a payback of 2–4 years
  • Accelerated depreciation benefit (up to 40% in Year 1 for commercial entities)
  • Full ownership adds to property and asset valuation
  • Eligible for PM Surya Ghar subsidy (residential customers)
  • Best ROI over a 20–25 year system life

PPA / OPEX Model

ZERO-INVEST

Under a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA), AVCO Energy builds, owns, and operates your rooftop solar plant. You simply purchase the electricity generated at a pre-agreed rate, typically 10–30% below your current grid tariff, for the duration of the agreement (usually 15–25 years).

  • Zero capital investment required
  • Monthly rental contract (Power Purchase Agreement) with Avco
  • Immediate savings from Day 1
  • All operation, maintenance, and equipment risks stay with AVCO
  • Predictable, locked-in energy costs for 15–25 years
  • Ideal for businesses with BBB+ credit rating

Frequently Asked Questions About Rooftop Solar Installation in India

As a general guideline, every kilowatt of rooftop solar installation requires approximately 80–100 square feet of shadow-free rooftop area. A 10 KW system (suitable for a large home or small commercial unit) needs roughly 800–1,000 sq ft. During your free site assessment, our engineers will calculate the optimal system size based on your actual roof dimensions and energy consumption.

Yes. Under the PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana scheme, residential customers are eligible for central government subsidies on rooftop solar panel installation. The subsidy amount varies by system capacity, typically ₹30,000 for 1 kW systems up to ₹78,000 for 3 kW systems, with additional support in many states. AVCO Energy assists residential clients in applying for applicable subsidies as part of our end-to-end service.

For a typical commercial rooftop solar installation of 50–200 KWP, the end-to-end process, from site survey to commissioning, takes approximately 4–8 weeks. This includes system design, DISCOM approvals, equipment procurement, and physical installation. Larger industrial projects or complex government procurements may take 8–16 weeks. Residential installations are typically completed within 2–4 weeks.

Quality roof solar panels from leading manufacturers carry a 25–30 year performance warranty, typically guaranteeing at least 80% of rated output at the end of the warranty period. Inverters generally carry a 5–10 year warranty and may be replaced once over the life of the system. AVCO Energy specifies only tier-1 panels and inverters to ensure long-term performance.

Rooftop solar installation requires minimal maintenance. The primary requirement is periodic cleaning of panel surfaces to remove dust and bird droppings, typically recommended every 1–3 months depending on your location. AVCO Energy's remote monitoring system alerts us to any performance anomalies, and our 48-hour response team handles any technical issues that arise.

Standard grid-tied rooftop solar installations shut down automatically during grid outages, which is a safety requirement for DISCOM compliance. If you need continuous power during outages, AVCO Energy can design a hybrid system that combines solar panels for rooftop generation with battery storage, allowing you to maintain critical loads even when the grid is down.

Net metering allows rooftop solar installation owners to export surplus electricity back to the grid and receive credits against their electricity bills. For example, if your solar system generates 30 units during the day but you only consume 20, the remaining 10 units are exported and credited to your account. AVCO Energy handles net metering applications and registration as part of every residential and commercial rooftop solar project.
