Before You Install Solar – The Practical Guide Every Indian Homeowner Must Read
Across the country, the solar wave is growing stronger by the day. Homes and businesses are now turning their roofs into clean-energy generators thanks to strong government support.
But if you’ve ever tried to get a quote for a rooftop solar system, you already know how confusing it can be. One vendor markets a “zero-cost” dream. Another brand lures you with “pay-per-generation,” while others add “free maintenance, lifetime warranty, subsidy included.”
Sounds great — until you realize half of it isn’t true.
That’s precisely why Before You Go Solar was written—to empower buyers with truth, not taglines.
? The Book India’s Solar Buyers Have Been Waiting For
It’s India’s only unbiased solar guide written exclusively for customers. Rather than convincing you to buy, it empowers you to choose wisely.
Packed with real examples from on-ground projects, this guide explains:
• How to choose a trustworthy solar company
• What “generation guarantee” really means (and when it’s a trap)
• Why subsidies aren’t always what they seem
• How to calculate your real savings, not just the “brochure numbers”
• The difference between EMI and PPA — and how many buyers get misled by this
Whenever you’ve felt unsure about a solar offer, this handbook tells you what’s real.
?? Read This Before You Commit to Any Solar Deal
In a fast-growing solar industry, awareness is your greatest safeguard. Many buyers end up overpaying or getting underperforming systems simply because they trusted sales pitches instead of performance data.
Before You Go Solar gives you a simple framework to evaluate any proposal, vendor, or guarantee. You’ll learn to read solar quotes like a pro, without needing engineering expertise.
Think of before you go solar it as your friendly solar checklist — written by someone who has actually built and monitored real solar plants across India.
? Insights from the Ground, Not the Boardroom
Authored by a professional with hands-on EPC background, the book offers reality, not rhetoric. Its lessons come directly from rooftops across cities like Delhi and Pune, where every success and mistake became a learning.
Every chapter is meant to help you avoid costly errors and wasted time. After installation, it’s not reversible—a solar setup lasts decades.
? Exclusive Bonus – The Vendor Comparison Tool
Solar success depends less on hardware and more on who installs it. That’s why Before You Go Solar comes with an exclusive Bonus Checklist designed to help you compare multiple solar vendors side by side — apples to apples.
It’s not a theoretical worksheet but a proven field guide to assess:
• Whether the company’s generation promise is realistic
• If their warranty and service clauses are clearly defined
• What kind of structure, inverter, and panel quality they’re offering
• Whether they include hidden charges or misleading “zero-cost” schemes
• And most importantly, how to identify red flags before you commit
So when three vendors show up with fancy presentations and confusing quotations, you’ll have one clear way to decide who’s actually giving the better deal. This checklist alone can save you lakhs of rupees and ensure you choose not just the lowest quote — but the right one.
