How to Choose the Right Solar Panel & Inverter Combo for Your Home Installing a solar system is a smart move—but picking the right combination of solar panels and inverters is the key to maximizing efficiency, savings, and long-term performance.

With so many options in the market, how do you know which setup works best for your home? Let’s break it down in simple terms.

☀️ Step 1: Understand Your Energy Needs Start by reviewing your monthly electricity usage (in kWh). For example:

A small 2BHK home may consume ~300–400 units/month

A large independent house with ACs could cross 700+ units/month

This will help you determine the size of the solar system you need—usually measured in kilowatts (kW).

🔸 Quick Tip: 1 kW solar system produces about 4 units/day or ~120 units/month.

🔋 Step 2: Know the Types of Solar Panels There are 3 major types of solar panels available in India:

1. Monocrystalline Panels High efficiency (18–22%)

Sleek black look

Ideal if you have limited roof space

2. Polycrystalline Panels Slightly lower efficiency (15–17%)

More affordable

Great for larger rooftops

3. Bifacial Panels (Premium) Capture sunlight from both sides

Higher yield, but costlier

Best for commercial or open installations

✅ Recommended: For most homes, monocrystalline panels strike the best balance between efficiency and size.

⚡ Step 3: Choosing the Right Inverter The inverter is like the brain of your solar system — it converts DC power (from panels) to usable AC electricity for your home.

Types of Inverters: String Inverters

One inverter for the whole system

Cost-effective, easy maintenance

Best for unshaded rooftops

Microinverters

One inverter per panel

Handles shading better

Slightly more expensive

Hybrid Inverters

Works with both grid and batteries

Great for backup and future scalability

✅ Recommended: Use a hybrid inverter if you plan to add battery storage later.

🔧 Step 4: Check Brand, Warranty & Support Choose trusted brands that offer:

25-year warranty on solar panels

5–10 years on inverters

Strong after-sales support and availability of service in your city
