Your Essential Pre-Solar Handbook – What Every Rooftop Buyer in India Should Know
Across the country, the solar wave is growing stronger by the day. Rooftops across cities are turning into mini power stations, and the government’s push toward renewable energy has made it easier than ever to install a solar plant.
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.”
Everything looks perfect—until you learn what’s really behind the marketing.
That’s precisely why Before You Go Solar was written—to empower buyers with truth, not taglines.
? Finally, a Solar Guide That Tells You the Truth
This is the first no-sales-pitch solar guide crafted for Indian buyers. Rather than convincing you to buy, it empowers you to choose wisely.
Drawing from actual solar installations, it breaks down key lessons:
• 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
If you’ve ever wondered, “Am I getting the right deal?” or “Is this company overselling?” — this book answers that.
?? Why You Need It Before You Sign Any Solar Quote
In today’s booming solar market, knowledge isn’t optional — it’s protection. A large number of buyers regret decisions made without understanding actual system performance.
It provides a step-by-step method to judge every solar deal you encounter. You’ll learn to read solar quotes like a pro, without needing engineering expertise.
Consider it your go-to guide—authored by a professional who has built, run, and analyzed real installations.
? Insights from the Ground, Not the Boardroom
Authored by a professional with hands-on EPC background, the book offers reality, not rhetoric. It comes straight from real rooftops — from Delhi to Pune — where installations succeed, fail, and teach lessons worth sharing.
Every chapter is meant to help you avoid costly errors and wasted time. Because once a system is installed, there’s no “undo” button — and solar is a 25-year relationship with your roof.
? Exclusive Bonus – The Vendor Comparison Tool
Selecting your installer is as crucial as selecting your panels. 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. solar handbook India

• And most importantly, how to identify red flags before you commit
