Solar, storage, EV charging, subsidy, and outages — answered for South India.
Panels convert sunlight into DC electricity. An inverter turns it into AC for your home. Excess energy can be exported to the grid under net metering, offsetting units you draw later.
A Battery Energy Storage System stores solar or grid power for later use — useful for outages, evening loads, and peak tariff management. Not every site needs batteries; we size them only when the use case is clear.
Net metering credits surplus solar units sent to the grid against the electricity you import. Exact rules and paperwork vary by state utility across Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Andhra Pradesh, and Telangana.
Yes. We design chargers as part of the wider energy system so solar, storage, and vehicle load work together instead of fighting each other.
A typical residential system needs about 60–70 sq. ft. per kW, depending on panel type, tilt, and shading. A 3 kW system often needs roughly 180–210 sq. ft. of clear roof.
Many South Indian rooftop systems pay back in roughly 3–6 years, depending on tariff, system size, self-consumption, and any residential subsidy. Commercial payback depends on daytime load and tariff structure.
Standard on-grid systems shut down during outages for safety. Hybrid systems with BESS can keep critical loads running.
Residential rooftop solar may qualify for central support under schemes such as PM Surya Ghar, subject to eligibility and state processes. Bolpu helps you understand documentation — final amounts depend on official norms.
Our home ground is Coastal Karnataka and Kasaragod — Udupi, Mangaluru, Dakshina Kannada, and Sakleshpur — where we handle everything end to end. For the rest of South India, share your location on the contact form and we will confirm coverage.
Periodic cleaning, annual health checks, and monitoring keep Solar PV and BESS performing. O&M packages are available for commercial sites.
