Why one should go solar?
Solar: The Technology
To answer the most frequently asked question – how much area do I require for a specific capacity Solar Power Plant. We have developed an online calculator that will estimate the maximum capacity that you can install at your place. Just fill in the required details.

There are many financial and environmental benefits of going Solar :
Make Money From Sun
Solar Grid Tied system generates electricity by converting light energy to electrical energy. The generated electricity is sent back to the grid which reduces electricity bill of our clients.
Free Electricity for 25 years
Solar panels have a 25 years output warranty. Therefore, once installed they generate free electricity for 25 years.
Return on Investment
An average Indian home can have a payback period of 4 years on their solar panel system and ROI of more than 25%.
Environment Friendly
The most well known fact about solar energy is that it represents a clean source of energy. Solar power is a great way to reduce your carbon footprint. Moreover, 1 kW of solar power system is equal to planting 154 trees.
How long can I expect my new solar panel system to last?
Solar rooftop systems installed by ASSPL are durable and effective. The panels comes with an output warranty of 25 years.
What are the different type of Solar PV Rooftop systems available in the market?
Over the years, people have come up with many innovative uses of Solar technologies. In India, primarily 3 types of system are available:
1. Grid Tied System
This system works only with the electricity grid without batteries. Although, this system has no power back-up but is much cheaper and has no recurring cost. Government backed subsidies reduce the cost further. This system is ideal for cities where there is little to no power cut.
2. Off Grid System
This system works without the electricity grid and has power backup options. This is ideal for cities where there is no connection to the grid.
3. Hybrid System
As the name suggests, it is a combination ofOff Grid and Grid Tied system. It works as a Grid Tied system when electricity is available and works as Off Grid in case of power cut. It has batteries to store energy. It is the most expensive of the 3 systems. It is ideal in cities where there are frequent power cuts.
How does different weather conditions impact the output of Solar PV system?
Output from Solar PV system is dependent on intensity of light and duration of the day. In rainy and winter seasons, output is slightly lower but still the system works smoothly as sunlight is available most of the time.
What is the periodic maintenance required for the system?
Systems are provided with 5 years maintenance. Panels and Inverters have long term warranties in place.
We provide regular checks to ensure that solar panel production is optimal. Cleaning of solar panels to remove dust will ensure a hassle free usage
Will Solar operate during power cuts?
Hybrid and Off Grid systems are designed to work during power cuts. They have batteries to store electricity and provide backup during power cuts.
Grid Tied system don’t provide back up as it needs reference voltage from grid and they have no batteries to store electricity.
Can I try to make fixes or repairs to my solar panel system?
Never attempt to fix or repair your solar rooftop system. Your solar rooftop system contains high voltage electric current and contact can result in burns, sparks and lethal shock.
Do not disconnect wires, open electrical panels, or modify/damage the equipment in any way. Contact ASSPL Customer Support to perform repairs.
What should I do if my solar panels have become shaded?
Shadow on solar panels can cause loss in production. During Solar design and installation, ASSPL ensures there is no shadow on your solar panels.
How do I clean my solar panels?
Cleaning your panels of dust will improve your system performance. Rain will help rinse your panels clean. Ordinarily, you can clean the panels with a water hose to remove accumulated dust. You only need to rinse the glass cover of the panels — do not attempt to clean the wiring underneath the panels.
How often you clean the system depends on the season. You may need to clean more often during the summer seasons when there is more dust in the air and fewer rain showers to rinse the panels clean.
What should I do if my inverter displays an error message?
If your inverter displays an error message, contact ASSPL Customer Support. One of our experts will gather the necessary information to ensure that we’re able to repair your system as quickly as possible.
What happens to my solar production on a cloudy day?
Your solar panels generates electricity through light energy form Sun and therefore can still generate electricity on cloudy days, since even diffuse sunlight can activate solar power production. Solar panel output on a cloudy day may be less than on a cloudless day but will still often provide a meaningful amount of electricity.
