Understanding a Solar Power System Proposal

You have started your solar journey and have gotten your hands on a solar power system proposal for your requirements by the brands of your choice. The proposal outlines essential information for a successful installation. Here’s a structured breakdown of the key components to look for in a comprehensive solar proposal.

1. Brand & Company Details

A great proposal provides a section on their company specifics to introduce you to their brand details, which are crucial for assessing the company’s reputation and credibility.

Ensure that you understand details like:

Unique Selling Propositions (USPs): What sets the company apart from competitors?

Experience: How long has the company been in the solar industry?

Clientele: Notable projects or partnerships that demonstrate their capability.

Certifications: Industry certifications that validate their expertise.

2. System Size

Examine the proposed solar system size, typically measured in kilowatts (kW), assess compatibility, and ensure the system aligns with your household energy consumption needs. Verify and make comparisons to evaluate how this size compares to other proposals you receive.

3. Rooftop Area Required

Understanding the rooftop area needed for installation is essential. This information allows you to evaluate the feasibility of the system and determine if your roof can accommodate the system without significant alterations. It will also help you to identify if any adjustments are necessary for a successful installation. For systems ranging from 2.16 to 3.24 kW, an approximate shadow-free roof area of 15 x 15 ft is needed. Systems greater than 3.24 kW require an approximate area of 15 x 20 ft..

4. Estimated Project Cost

Make sure that there is a comprehensive breakdown of project costs in the proposal to ensure transparency. This should include, Total solar Project Costs, Booking and Advance Amounts as well as any Additional Costs such as meters and liaisoning service costs.

5. Subsidies and Savings

Solar Power Systems provide an immense opportunity for savings, these savings can be available through solar subsidies or government incentives apart from net metering gains. These details need to be explicitly mentioned in terms of Annual Savings and Payback Period for your investment.

6. Down Payment and EMI Options

Most solar power system companies provide financing options and if you have opted for a loan then ensure that the proposal contains all the relevant details like Down Payment Requirements, Rate of Interest and EMI Amounts.

7. Offers, Warranties, and Servicing Details

Identify information about offers, warranties, and post-installation services including Manufacturing and performance warranties for all the components and maintenance service details.
