Frequently Answered Queries

Find immediate answers regarding net-metering slabs, PM-Surya Ghar rebates, and storage back cycles.

How much shadow-free roof space is required for a 3kW system in India?

As a standard rule of thumb, every 1 kW of tier-1 photovoltaic panels requires approx 100 square feet of shadow-free rooftop space. Therefore, a standard 3kW residential system size will require approximately 300 square feet of clean usable roof area.

What is the PM-Surya Ghar subsidy threshold and how is it claimed?

The Indian central government provides direct residential subsidies: ₹30,000 for 1kW systems, ₹60,000 for 2kW systems, and a maximum flat rebate of ₹78,000 for systems sizing 3kW or higher. Nikola manages the entire feasibility approval and billing paperwork on your behalf, securing rebates directly into your account within 30 days of net-meter commissioning.

How does net-metering solar work with local DISCOM grid feeders?

Net-metering integrates a specialized bidirectional meter on site. It records both the energy imported from the grid and the excess solar electricity exported back to the grid. At the end of the monthly cycle, you are only billed for the net units consumed (Imports minus Exports), often reducing utility outlays to zero.

What is the full lifespan and warranty of Nikola smart solar panels?

Our high-efficiency monocrystalline solar shingles are engineered with an advanced 25-year performance warranty. We guarantee that panels will maintain above 88% of their original conversion efficiency parameters even after 25 years of full solar grid cycles.

Can the system support heavy AC loads and EV superchargers during monsoons?

Yes. We couple high-yield arrays to smart backup Tesla battery cabinets. The system tracks overcast monsoon sunlight dips and switches to battery storage or grid lines seamlessly in less than 8ms, smoothing power distribution for high-amp equipment like AC compressor motors and EV charger docks.
