Rooftop solar for Indian homes: what to check before you sign

[SAMPLE ARTICLE — replace with Enerzia's own copy]

1. Usable, shadow-free roof A typical 1 kW rooftop system needs roughly 80–100 sq ft of shadow-free area. Water tanks, parapets and neighbouring buildings matter.

2. Sanctioned load and net-metering Your DISCOM sanctioned load and net-metering approval decide the size you can connect. Get the paperwork sequence clear before installation.

3. Earthing and protection An engineered earthing pit, SPD and correctly rated DC/AC protection are what keep a system safe for 25 years. This is where electrical execution experience counts.

4. Structure Wind-load rated, corrosion-protected mounting structures protect both the panels and your roof.

5. Service after handover Ask who cleans, monitors and attends faults after the first year.
