Common Questions

Everything you need to know about switching to solar energy with Groway.

How does a solar energy system work?

Solar panels convert sunlight into Direct Current (DC) electricity. An inverter then converts this DC electricity into Alternating Current (AC), which is the standard electrical current used to power your home and appliances. Any excess energy can be fed back to the grid or stored in batteries.

What are the environmental benefits of solar?

Solar energy is a clean, renewable source that reduces reliance on fossil fuels. By switching to solar, you significantly lower your carbon footprint, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and contribute to a healthier, more sustainable planet for future generations.

Does my roof need to face a specific direction?

While south-facing roofs (in the Northern Hemisphere) typically generate the most power, east and west-facing roofs can also be very effective. Groway's engineers will analyze your property to design a system that maximizes efficiency based on your specific roof orientation and shading.

What happens during cloudy days or at night?

Solar panels still generate power on cloudy days, though efficiency is reduced. At night, your system stops producing energy. However, if your system is grid-tied, you draw power from the utility grid. If you have a battery backup, your home runs on stored solar energy.

How much maintenance do solar panels require?

Solar panels are very durable and require minimal maintenance. Generally, an occasional cleaning to remove dust or debris is enough to keep them operating at peak efficiency. Groway offers maintenance packages to ensure your system runs smoothly for decades.

How much can I save on my electricity bill?

Most customers see a reduction of 40-60% in their monthly electricity bills. The exact savings depend on your energy consumption, roof space, and local utility rates. In many cases, the system pays for itself within 3-5 years.

Are there government subsidies available?

Yes, the government offers significant subsidies for residential rooftop solar installations (such as the PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana). Groway assists you with all the necessary paperwork to ensure you get the maximum subsidy benefit available.

Does solar increase my property value?

Absolutely. Homes equipped with solar energy systems are viewed as modern and energy-efficient. Studies show that properties with solar panels sell faster and at a premium compared to non-solar homes due to the promise of lower future utility costs.
