After subsidy, many homeowners in Bhopal focus only on the “net price.” But the real value of your system depends on what’s inside the quotation. A safe, long-lasting rooftop solar system is not only panels. It’s a complete electrical installation with structure, wiring, and protection devices—these are what keep your home safe and your solar generating for years.
Also remember: under PM Surya Ghar, the CFA subsidy is capped (for example up to ₹78,000 for 3 kW at benchmark prices), so your remaining cost depends heavily on what your installer includes.
What your total cost usually includes (what you should see in a “complete” quote)
1) Solar panels (modules)
Points:
- Total capacity in kW (example: 3 kW)
- Panel wattage (Wp) and count
- Brand/model and warranty terms
2) Inverter (the “brain” of the system)
Points:
- On-grid inverter (most common for net metering) or hybrid (if backup is needed)
- Warranty and service support details
- Proper sizing (not under/over-sized)
3) Mounting structure (strength + rust resistance)
Points:
- Structure material (GI/Aluminium)
- Coating/paint quality (corrosion protection matters in long term)
- Spacing for cleaning and safe walkway
- Proper anchoring without damaging roof waterproofing
4) DC/AC wiring + connectors (hidden, but crucial)
Points:
- DC solar cable quality (UV-resistant outdoor grade)
- AC cables from inverter to DB/meter
- Conduits/ducting for protection and clean routing
- MC4 connectors, junction boxes, lugs, glands
A system can look good on top but fail early because of weak wiring and loose terminations.
5) Safety protections (non-negotiable items)
Points:
- ACDB (AC Distribution Box)
- DCDB (DC Distribution Box)
- SPD (Surge Protection Device)
- MCB/MCCB breakers, isolators as required
- Proper earthing (for panels + inverter + surge protection)
These items protect you from surges, faults, and short circuits—especially during lightning season and grid fluctuations.
6) Installation labour + testing
Points:
- Mounting and electrical installation work
- Testing: insulation, polarity, earthing continuity, inverter commissioning
- Final documentation and handover (system details + warranties)
7) Net metering coordination + inspection support (vendor-dependent)
Points:
- Portal updates and application support (if included)
- Inspection readiness (photos, technical file, labeling)
- Coordination for bi-directional meter installation and commissioning
This support is what converts “installed solar” into “credits start showing in bill.”
How to check a quote (so you don’t miss critical items)
Ask for a line-by-line BOQ (bill of quantities)
Points:
- Each item listed with quantity/specification
- Safety items listed clearly (ACDB/DCDB/SPD/earthing)
- Wiring length scope mentioned (extra distance can add cost)
Ensure safety items are not missing
Points:
- If ACDB/DCDB/SPD is missing, ask why
- If earthing is “optional,” that’s a red flag
- If cable brand/spec is not mentioned, ask for it
Confirm warranty details
Points:
- Panel warranty (product + performance)
- Inverter warranty
- Workmanship warranty (installation-related issues)
Workmanship warranty is often what helps you if something goes wrong in year 1–2.
The “too cheap” quote warning (why it happens)
If a quote looks unusually cheap, it’s often because:
- Safety protections are reduced or removed
- Wiring quality is downgraded
- Structure is lighter and less durable
- Warranty/service commitment is unclear
- Net metering support is not included (you’ll chase it later)
Important description:
If a quote looks “too cheap,” it often means safety components or quality materials are reduced. That’s risky—because it can reduce performance and create safety issues later.
Simple “must-have checklist” (copy-paste)
Points:
- Panels: brand + wattage + warranty
- Inverter: brand + model + warranty
- Structure: GI/Aluminium + rust protection
- Cables: DC/AC + conduit routing included
- Safety: ACDB + DCDB + SPD + earthing included
- Testing/commissioning included
- Net metering support scope clarified
