My 6-Month Review After Installing Rooftop Solar Panels

It has been 6 months since we installed Solar panels. I still remember when I was contemplating whether I should install it or not. because, in Lucknow, installing a solar panel is not a common activity. But these rising bills during the summer were also increasing my financial strain and BP, so I knew that I had to take an instant step against this challenge. I am glad that we are blessed with plenty of sunshine, so I knew that a solar panel would be an efficient choice for me. After doing a lot of research on the best solar panel in Lucknow, I decided to go with Sooryoday. Today, I’m sharing my journey to help anyone else who is sitting on the fence.

Why I Made the Switch

Like many of you, I too wanted to save money. I was tired of seeing my monthly budget get eaten up by the power bills. I wanted something eco-friendly and pocket-friendly at the same time. And the cherry on top was when I got to know about the government subsidies, under PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana, you get upto 2 kW: ₹30,000 per kW. Above 2 kW up to 3 kW: ₹60,000 for 2 kW + ₹18,000 per kW for additional capacity (capped at ₹78,000 for 3 kW or higher). It was now or never for me. 

The Financial Breakdown: Subsidies are a Game Changer

In Uttar Pradesh, the financial support is incredible. Between the Central subsidy and the state top-up, you can get a total subsidy on solar panel in UP of up to ₹1,08,000 for a 3kW system. This slashed my upfront investment significantly, and at the rate I’m saving on bills, the system will pay for itself in less than four years.

My Results After 6 Months

After 6 months of installation, here are the key changes that I have observed in my bills and life-

• Massive bill reduction: my electricity bills dropped by 90%. You would be surprised to know that some months, the bills used to be zero; all credit goes to net metering. 

• Zero Maintenance Issues: Sooryoday provided a high-quality, storm-proof structure. Apart from a quick cleaning of the panels once a month, I haven’t had to touch a thing.

• Peace of mind: This was the main goal. I was tired of paying hefty electricity bills; now I don’t worry about that. It’s a thing of the past now. Because I know the sun is footing the bill.
