7 Solar Myths Indian Homeowners Still Believe- And Why They’re Wrong

Switching to solar energy still feels mysterious for many Indian families. Misconceptions about cost, reliability and maintenance keep people tethered to the grid even when rooftop solar could slash their bills. Let’s bust those myths—using facts you can verify right on the Atria website—and show why a modern home solar setup is the cleanest, smartest upgrade you can make. 

Myth 1 – “Solar only works when the sun is blazing” 

Reality: Atria’s NOVASYS panels deliver “excellent performance in extremely low light and even on cloudy days,” thanks to advanced mono-PERC cells that boost efficiency by up to 30 %.  

 Whether it’s a cloudy monsoon afternoon or winter haze, your system keeps generating solar electricity—and your solar savings keep adding up. 

Myth 2 – “It’s too expensive, and the ROI is poor” 

Reality: Between zero-interest EMI plans and the PM Surya Ghar (PMSGY) subsidy of up to ₹78,000, you can install now and pay less per month than today’s power bill.  

 Once the EMI ends (usually around five years) you enjoy almost-free power for another 20 years, super-charging your solar ROI and making it one of the best low-risk solar investments available. 

Myth 3 – “Installation takes weeks and wrecks the roof” 

Reality: Atria completes most solar installations in just five hours—with neat mounting rails that protect your tiles and seal every penetration.  

 That’s faster than repainting a bedroom and quicker than waiting for a DISCOM technician! 

Myth 4 – “Panel cleaning and servicing are a nightmare” 

Reality: You can include the preventive maintenance package as an add on servicing session every year. Atria’s team handles panel cleaning, inspection and preventive care so you don’t have to climb the ladder. 

 The in-app dashboard pings you when a visit is due, keeping your solar generation (and warranty) in peak health. 

Myth 5 – “Panels won’t last— extreme Indian summers or monsoons” 

Reality: Panels carry a 25-year performance warranty and is rated “weather-resistant” for extreme heat, rain and storm conditions.  

Add Atria’s robust mounting hardware and you get decades of worry-free, clean energy. 

Myth 6 – “Solar can’t handle power-hungry loads like ACs or EV chargers” 

Reality: Inverters supplied by Atria hit 98.2 % efficiency and allow 150 % DC oversizing—meaning you can expand capacity later to run a solar AC, charge a solar EV, or even power that future solar bike without a hitch.  

Myth 7 – “Government paperwork for subsidies is a headache” 

Reality: Atria files every step—from portal registration to bank-detail upload—so the subsidy hits your account within 30 days of commissioning.  

 You focus on enjoying lower bills while Atria’s team navigates the PM Surya Ghar maze.

Frequently Asked Questions 

Will my solar panels keep working during a grid power cut? 

On a standard on-grid setup the inverter shuts off for safety, but pairing your array with battery storage or a hybrid inverter lets you keep essentials running even when the grid is down.  

Does a rooftop solar plant really raise property value? 

Industry studies estimate a 4–5 % uplift in home prices after installing a solar PV system, thanks to lower running costs and a greener image. 

How often do I need to clean the panels once the free-service period ends? 

Most homeowners schedule cleaning every 3–4 months; dusty zones may need a quick rinse monthly. Atria’s app reminders make it easy to stay on track. Ready to swap rising electricity bills for sunshine?
