A G+1 bungalow with a flat terrace, a water tank and a stair room taking the north-east corner. The family wanted to keep using the terrace for drying clothes and Diwali parties.

We raised the structure to 2.1 m so the space underneath stays usable, and set seven panels in one row facing due south at 18°. The stair room shades nothing after 9 am.

“The first bill after net metering was ₹380. I checked it twice.”
Anand Kulkarni, retired bank manager

First year

5,105 units from the roof.

Monthly generation from the inverter app. The dip is the monsoon; it is in every estimate we give.
