Why your bill doubles in summer — and what solar does about it

Every May and June, the same WhatsApp message reaches us: "bill double aa gaya". Nothing is broken — ACs, coolers and fridges simply run harder, and electricity slabs mean the extra units cost more per unit than the first ones.

Solar peaks exactly when your usage peaks

The same sun that heats your roof generates your power: a rooftop system produces its highest output in the very months your consumption is highest. Each kilowatt gives roughly 4.5 units a day, and summer days sit at the top of that range.

The result: the expensive top slabs of your bill are the first ones solar wipes out. Want to see your own number? Enter your monthly bill on our booking page — the calculator shows your size, subsidy and savings instantly.
