At Secura Solar, we have assisted numerous homeowners in transitioning to solar power for their homes in Kerala, and we think there is a time when it is right to install your system.

 

1. Seasonal Considerations: When Does Solar Make the Most Sense?

Kerala is bathed in sunlight most of the year but the month you choose for your solar installation can make a difference in your system’s efficiency. Here’s why:

 

  • Pre-Monsoon Season (January to May): This is allegedly the ideal month for solar panel installation in Kerala. The sun shines only a handful of days, and that’s when the photovoltaic system is erected. Commencing construction activities before the rainy season starts helps companies recover the costs lost in the summer season.

 

  • Post-Monsoon (October to December): October and November are periods where the weather is nice and many do not consider it breezy so the need for solar installation does decrease after the monsoon season also this could mean quicker installations with little troubles because it is unlikely to be a posses heating period. There are still sunny days even in autumn and winter.

2.Financial considerations: Take Advantage of Government Incentives

The Indian Government including the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) has a wide variety of subsidies for installations in residential solar systems. Changing the installation schedule in Favor of these financial incentives diminishes the out-of-pocket costs for homeowners. At the present time, there are various incentives available to like-minded prospective buyers in Kerala:

 

  • State and Central Subsidies: This option tends to appeal to particular states like Kerala in that it helps in reducing the overall cost of installation of solar panels in the given state. Due to the nature of the government providing additional benefits, these incentives changes from time to time that is why you should confirm for better offer in your local authority.

 

  • Rising Electricity Costs: Following the review of electricity prices in Kerala, they show that the price of electricity is increasing steadily over time. Therefore the sooner you install solar panels, the sooner you can start enjoying the savings. For example, high electricity costs will not be borne in future as much grid electricity is being avoided.

3.New Construction: Ideal Time for Seamless Integration

When it comes to building a new house, there is no better moment to install solar panels than when constructing the house. There are more advantages than disadvantages when installing panels during this period.

 

  • Lower Installation Costs: Since you will have solar panels incorporated in the construction process, there would not be additional labor costs to attach them in the existing home.

 

  • Optimized Design: A roof can be conceptualized in such a way that it enhances solar capture by controlling the builder yielding to the need for solar from day one.

4. Availability of Solar Installers

Time plays a role here. For many advanced homeowners, this means that throughout the year, the possibility of having a solar panel installation may be dependent on the season. This is because, during the summer or other peak periods, the installers are generally busy which can thus lead to waiting periods. If you would like to avoid standing in long lines and confusion, you may choose to have your solar panel system installed in the off-season when the installers have more waiting room. This does mean that you may be having your system set up quicker and as a result, commencing on your savings earlier.

Don’t Wait to Make the Switch

Even though it is possible to do solar installation every month throughout the year in Kerala, there are better periods or times for this activity. Be it seasonal sunshine, government support, or the perfect time for construction, the best time to fit in solar systems is now.
