Rooftop Solar Myths Busted: Rajasthan Homeowners Should Know the Facts
Is it hard to leap for solar power for your house? Don't worry, you're not just one. Rajasthan residents on both sides of the line hesitate to leap because of common misconceptions and myths regarding solar systems. From cost concerns to uncertainty regarding installation, misinfo is inhibiting people from making a smart, progressive decision.
We're here today to bust the most common rooftop solar myths — so you can make an informed, cost-saving decision with confidence.
Myth 1: Solar only works in big cities
Reality: It is one of the most common myths. People believe that solar energy is only used in metroes or big cities.
Reality check: Rajasthan is as sunny a state as you can get with more than 300 sunny days a year. Even if you are residing in Jaipur, Ajmer, Barmer, Bikaner, Udaipur, or a small town — rooftop solar systems can function flawlessly in the whole state.
In fact, rural and semi-urban areas generally have broader rooftops that are perfect options for solar installation.
Myth 2: It's Too Costly to Get Solar Installed
Reality: Most people are amazed to discover how much solar has fallen in price — especially with government incentives.
Thanks to the PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana, it's now more affordable than ever to have a solar system installed:
You can get a subsidy of up to ₹78,000
A 3kW system post-subsidy can cost as little as ₹60,000–₹70,000
You can get zero electricity bills for up to 300 units/month
Solar is no longer a luxury — it's a smart investment that pays itself off in no time.
Myth 3: Solar Panels Need Lots of Maintenance
Reality: This myth scares many off, but solar maintenance is actually very simple and easy to do.
Here's what it really needs:
Cleaning your panels every 10–15 days, especially in dry environments
One annual maintenance check-up to ensure everything is working at its peak
That's it! No oiling, no every-now-and-then changing complex parts — just a little cleaning and a once-a-year check-up.
Myth 4: Net Metering Is Time-Consuming and Complicated
