In today’s energy-conscious world, switching to solar makes more sense than ever, both environmentally and economically. But before you invest, take a moment to pause and ask the right questions.
At Solex Energy Limited, we often meet customers who were swayed by flashy pricing but ended up with underperforming systems, unresponsive service, or modules that didn’t last. Solar is a 25-year decision, and getting it right starts with asking the right questions.
Here’s your 7-point checklist before signing that solar deal:
1. Are the solar modules BIS & ALMM certified?
Not all solar panels are built the same.
BIS certification guarantees quality, safety, and durability.
ALMM listing (by MNRE) ensures the modules meet government-approved standards and are eligible for government-supported and open access/net-metering projects.
Always ask for proof of both certifications.
2. Who is the manufacturer?
Avoid anonymous or rebranded products. Choose a reputed Indian manufacturer like Solex, with proven expertise and in-house manufacturing, not just resellers.
3. What is the warranty coverage?
Understand both product and performance warranties. A good system offers 10 – 12 years on product and 25 years on performance, with clear terms, not vague promises.
4. Is the installer also your long-term support partner?
Many installers disappear after commissioning. At Solex, we ensure seamless post-installation support through our trusted EPC partners and service network.
5. Has the system been properly sized and designed for your needs?
Over-promising kilowatts without a proper load analysis can cost you. Ensure the system is designed based on your actual usage and site conditions.
6. What is the Efficiency and Degradation Rate of the Panels?
Cheaper panels often degrade faster. Look for high-efficiency panels with low degradation rates to ensure optimal performance over the years.
7. Are You Being Offered Genuine After-Sales Support?
Who do you call if there’s a fault? Is there AMC (Annual Maintenance Contract) support? Solex ensures you’re not left chasing support when you need it most.
Choose wisely. Choose Solex.
Going solar is one of the smartest decisions you’ll make, but only if done right. At Solex Energy Limited, we’re here not just to supply panels but to guide you with honesty, reliability, and 30+ years of solar wisdom.
Before you sign, ask these questions. And if you’re unsure, just ask us.
