Solar Systems Installed
Select the appropriate solar configuration based on your power consumption, grid availability, and backup needs.
Rooftop solar systems synchronized with the KSEB grid. Surplus daytime electricity is exported to the grid via bi-directional net metering. No battery required. Savings depend on system capacity, daily consumption, tariff, and KSEB net-metering rules.
Combines rooftop solar power with battery storage and KSEB grid interconnection. Supplies solar energy during the day, charges batteries, and provides continuous backup power during grid power outages and monsoons.
Standalone solar installations operating independently from the electrical grid. Captures solar energy to power connected loads and charge battery banks for nighttime and cloudy-day electricity supply.
Connected digital monitoring interfaces that allow property owners to view daily electricity generation, inverter operational status, and system performance metrics in real time.
Turnkey rooftop solar panel installations customized for single villas, multi-story residences, and apartments across Kollam. Designed according to household monthly unit consumption.
High-capacity rooftop and ground-mounted solar power installations for retail stores, commercial complexes, hospitals, schools, factories, and warehouses across Kerala to lower operational overheads.
System Sizing & Quotation
Final solar installation pricing depends on multiple engineering factors, including system capacity (kW), panel technology, inverter specification, rooftop mounting structure, battery requirements, electrical wiring distance, subsidy eligibility, and KSEB net-metering requirements.
| System Capacity | Suitable Property Type | Typical Electricity Usage | Est. Daily Generation | Roof Space Required | Pricing / Quotation |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3 kW Solar System | Residential Villa (2-3 BHK) | 300 - 450 Units / Month | ~12 - 14 Units / Day | ~250 - 300 sq. ft. | |
| 5 kW Solar System | Large Home / Small Office | 500 - 750 Units / Month | ~20 - 23 Units / Day | ~400 - 500 sq. ft. | |
| 10 kW Solar System | Commercial Facility / Large Estate | 1,000 - 1,500 Units / Month | ~40 - 45 Units / Day | ~800 - 1,000 sq. ft. |
Ideal for standard 2-3 BHK residences in Kollam consuming 300 to 450 units per bi-monthly KSEB bill. Generates approximately 12 to 14 units per sunny day. Eligible for residential government subsidy under current portal rules.
Designed for larger villas with air conditioners or small commercial offices consuming 500 to 750 units per bi-monthly bill. Generates approximately 20 to 23 units per day.
Suitable for commercial establishments, institutions, and light industrial facilities with high daytime power consumption, generating approximately 40 to 45 units per day.
Engineering Methodology
Rather than selecting arbitrary package sizes, IT SOUQ engineers calculate recommended system capacity based on empirical consumption data and rooftop solar irradiance.
We review historical bi-monthly KSEB electricity bills to calculate average daily unit usage and identify peak load patterns.
Engineers check available shadow-free roof area, roof orientation (south-facing preference), and structural weight capacity.
We evaluate daytime vs. nighttime power usage to determine whether an on-grid, hybrid, or off-grid configuration is appropriate.
Selecting matching inverter capacity, DC/AC Surge Protection Devices (SPD), isolators, and copper earthing for electrical safety.
Government Portal & Grid Regulations
The central government rooftop solar scheme provides financial subsidies to eligible residential property owners installing rooftop solar power systems.
KSEB bi-directional net metering allows your solar system to export excess daytime generation back to the electrical grid.

Solar FAQs
Factual answers regarding rooftop solar installation costs, KSEB net metering, government subsidies, and technical requirements in Kollam.
Solar system pricing depends on system capacity (kW), panel technology (Mono-PERC/TOPCon), inverter type (On-grid/Hybrid), roof mounting structure, battery requirements, and installation complexity. IT SOUQ conducts a site survey to provide a detailed, itemized quotation tailored to your property.
A typical residential home consuming 300 to 450 units of electricity per bi-monthly bill usually requires a 3kW to 5kW solar system. The exact capacity is determined based on your daily appliance load and available shadow-free roof area.
A correctly sized rooftop solar system can significantly reduce grid electricity costs. Savings depend on installed capacity, daily sunlight generation, total household consumption, KSEB tariff slabs, and applicable net-metering credits.
Net metering replaces your standard electricity meter with a bi-directional net meter. Daytime solar energy generated by your system powers your property first. Any excess solar power is exported to the KSEB grid, generating solar units credited against your nighttime grid consumption.
Under the central government PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana, eligible residential households can apply for subsidies on rooftop solar installations up to 3kW capacity. IT SOUQ assists residential clients with portal registration, documentation, and coordination.
Physical installation of mounting frames, solar panels, and electrical switchgear on site in Kollam typically takes 1 to 3 days. KSEB feasibility approval, inspection, and bi-directional meter installation timelines depend on local KSEB section office procedures.
Yes. Modern solar panels generate electricity from diffused sunlight even on overcast or rainy monsoon days, yielding approximately 25% to 40% of their peak rated output.
On-grid solar connects to the KSEB grid without batteries to reduce power bills. Hybrid solar connects to the grid while incorporating battery backup for power cuts. Off-grid solar operates completely independently of the KSEB grid using a dedicated battery bank.
Batteries are not required for on-grid solar systems designed primarily to lower electricity bills. Batteries are required only if you opt for a hybrid or off-grid system to maintain electricity during power outages.
Tier-1 solar panels supplied by IT SOUQ include up to 25 years of linear performance warranty from the manufacturer and 10 to 12 years of product warranty. Inverters generally come with a 5 to 10-year manufacturer warranty. Warranty terms vary by manufacturer and model.
A 3kW rooftop solar system requires approximately 250 to 300 square feet of shadow-free roof area, while a 5kW system requires approximately 400 to 500 square feet.
Yes. IT SOUQ provides local after-sales technical support, routine maintenance, system diagnostics, and panel inspection services from our Kottiyam, Kollam office.
