A rooftop solar system is a setup where solar panels are installed on the roof of a house, office, or building to make electricity from sunlight. These panels capture the sun’s energy and convert it into usable power with the help of a solar inverter. This clean electricity can be used to run lights, fans, and other appliances at home or in business places.

There are mainly three types of rooftop solar systems — on-grid, off-grid, and hybrid. An on-grid system is connected to the main electricity grid, helping you reduce your monthly electricity bills through net metering. An off-grid system works with batteries and is ideal for areas with frequent power cuts. A hybrid system combines both grid connection and battery backup for reliable power anytime.

Using a rooftop solar system helps you save money, reduce pollution, and become energy independent. The system usually lasts for more than 25 years and needs very little maintenance.

With government support through schemes like the PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana, installing solar panels has become more affordable, helping families and businesses enjoy clean, renewable, and cost-effective energy.
