Points to consider before Solar panel installation:

Before designing the solar panels, we consider below mentioned factors, among others:

Roof condition: Your roof must be sturdy enough to support the panels for 25-30 years.
Roof orientation: Roof direction determines the amount of sunlight the panels can capture during the day.
Warranty check: Warranty ensures peace of mind and covers the panels in case of faulty erection and malfunctioning
Grid connection: how you are going to connect your solar power system to the grid is another crucial point to remember before solar installation
Incentives: Make the most of your panels by applying for the incentives. It not only increases the property value but also reduces your monthly power cost.
Calculating energy requirements: It’s important to calculate your monthly energy requirements to understand the energy saved every month.

What Our Clients Say

By KCP Solar Company, Salem, I generate 3 KW daily solar electricity at my own house and supply that electricity to the Tamil Nadu Electricity Department, so from paying an electricity bill of Rs.5000/- (bi-monthly), now it is only Rs.300/- I will pay. I will get my investment back in three years (with this low electricity bill). This solar power will help us to reduce our electricity bill. Following me, my friends have also done solar power projects in their own houses. Vignesh working in KCP and Vinod Managing Director of that company are experts in this solar power generation.

Sathiya Moorthi

Installed 4kw Adani panel with Growatt Inverter and Net Metering. The KCP Solar team provided an excellent installation and service. Their salesperson Babu was very polite and explained everything about the panel and system. Overall satisfactory service was provided by the KCP team. They promised daily production of 16 units for a 4 kW plant. However, the average daily production for the past 4 months is 17 units. Solar with an ongrid system is very useful for residential houses and the KCP Solar team is highly recommended.
