Myth Busters

Common Myths, Real Facts

Misconceptions hold many people back. Here's the truth about rooftop solar in India.

Solar doesn't work on cloudy days

Panels still generate 10–25% output under clouds. India's overall irradiance makes solar highly viable.

It's too expensive to install

Subsidies, financing options, and falling panel prices have made ROI attractive for most households.

Maintenance is complicated

Rain naturally cleans panels. A simple annual inspection is usually all that's needed.
