Before You Go Solar: The No-Nonsense Guide Every Rooftop Buyer in India Needs

Across the country, the solar wave is growing stronger by the day. Homes and businesses are now turning their roofs into clean-energy generators thanks to strong government support.
Anyone who has tried to request a solar quotation knows how overwhelming the jargon can get. One vendor markets a “zero-cost” dream. Another promises “pay only for generation.” Someone else throws in “free maintenance, lifetime warranty, subsidy included.”
Sounds great — until you realize half of it isn’t true.
That’s precisely why Before You Go Solar was written—to empower buyers with truth, not taglines.
? The Book India’s Solar Buyers Have Been Waiting For
This is the first no-sales-pitch solar guide crafted for Indian buyers. It doesn’t try to sell you panels — it teaches you how to buy them smartly.
Drawing from actual solar installations, it breaks down key lessons:
• How to choose a trustworthy solar company
• What “generation guarantee” really means (and when it’s a trap)
• Why subsidies aren’t always what they seem
• How to calculate your real savings, not just the “brochure numbers”
• The difference between EMI and PPA — and how many buyers get misled by this
If you’ve ever wondered, “Am I getting the right deal?” or “Is this company overselling?” — this book answers that.
?? Why You Need It Before You Sign Any Solar Quote
In today’s booming solar market, knowledge isn’t optional — it’s protection. Many buyers end up overpaying or getting underperforming systems simply because they trusted sales pitches instead of performance data.
It provides a step-by-step method to judge every solar deal you encounter. You’ll learn to read solar quotes like a pro, without needing engineering expertise.
Consider it your go-to guide—authored by a professional who has built, run, and analyzed real installations.
? From Field Experience to Pages
Penned by someone deeply involved in the solar field, it delivers firsthand knowledge. Each insight comes from actual project experiences across India’s solar landscape.
Each page is designed to save you time, money, and regret. Once it’s on your rooftop, there’s no going back—solar is a 25-year commitment.
? Exclusive Bonus – The Vendor Comparison Tool
Solar success depends less on hardware and more on who installs it. That’s why Before You Go Solar comes with an exclusive Bonus Checklist designed to help you compare multiple solar vendors side by side — apples to apples.
This isn’t a generic list of questions. It’s a field-tested tool that lets you evaluate:
• Whether the company’s generation promise is realistic
• If their warranty and service clauses are clearly defined
• how to choose a solar company in India What kind of structure, inverter, and panel quality they’re offering
• Whether they include hidden charges or misleading “zero-cost” schemes
• And most importantly, how to identify red flags before you commit
So when three vendors show up with fancy presentations and confusing quotations, you’ll have one clear way to decide who’s actually giving the better deal. This checklist alone can save you lakhs of rupees and ensure you choose not just the lowest quote — but the right one.
