Electricity tariffs in Sitapur have steadily risen. A rooftop solar system allows homes and small businesses to generate their own power during the day and export surplus energy to the grid via net metering. Credits earned offset night-time consumption, stabilizing bills.
Estimated Savings
- 3kW system: ≈ 360–450 units/month generation
- Tariff: ₹8–₹12 per unit → ₹2,800–₹5,400 monthly savings
- 25-year panel performance warranty; inverter warranty 5–10 years
Why Sitapur Favors Solar
- Good solar irradiation and rooftop availability
- Cooler months improve panel efficiency
- Government support via PM Surya Ghar Yojana
With proper design and installation, typical payback occurs within 3–5 years (post-subsidy). Beyond payback, electricity is largely free apart from routine maintenance.
