The shared process

12 steps from enquiry to handover

The exact sequence and duration can change based on project size, site conditions, customer readiness, and local approvals.

01

Enquiry & Consultation

Tell us about your property, electricity usage, goals, and preferred solar setup.

02

Energy Assessment

We review your bills, usage pattern, available roof or site area, and expected load.

03

Site Survey

A site visit checks roof condition, shading, access, electrical infrastructure, and safety needs.

04

System Design

The team prepares a suitable system layout, capacity estimate, and equipment plan.

05

Quotation & Savings Review

Review the proposal, estimated generation, costs, savings assumptions, and applicable scheme information.

06

Approval & Booking

Confirm the scope, approve the quotation, and agree on the project schedule.

07

Documents & Application

Prepare required customer, electricity-connection, and scheme documents where applicable.

08

Technical Approval

Complete the relevant DISCOM or authority process before work that requires approval.

09

Procurement & Scheduling

Confirm equipment availability, delivery, site readiness, and the installation date.

10

Installation & Testing

Install the panels, inverter, mounting structure, wiring, protection, and required safety labels.

11

Inspection & Metering

Complete required inspection, commissioning, and net-metering steps where applicable.

12

Handover & Aftercare

Receive system guidance, documentation, warranty details, and help tracking any eligible subsidy.

Planning estimates

Different projects, different timelines

Commercial and industrial projects can require additional engineering, utility coordination, procurement, and staged installation.

Residential

Typical planning ranges for a standard residential rooftop solar project.

  1. 1

    Consultation, bill review and site survey

    1–2 weeks

    Depends on site access and how quickly the required details are shared.

  2. 2

    Design, quotation and customer approval

    3–10 days

    Can take longer if the system scope or financing needs revision.

  3. 3

    Application and technical feasibility

    2–6 weeks

    Timing depends on the local DISCOM and the applicable process.

  4. 4

    Equipment procurement and installation

    1–3 weeks

    Allow extra time for equipment availability, weather, and site readiness.

  5. 5

    Inspection, commissioning and meter process

    2–6 weeks

    Authority appointments and local metering processes can affect the schedule.

  6. 6

    Subsidy application review and disbursement

    4–12+ weeks

    After required portal steps and document verification; final timing is determined by the scheme authority.

Commercial

Planning ranges for offices, shops, and commercial properties.

  1. 1

    Load review, consultation and site survey

    1–3 weeks

    Includes review of bills, operating hours, roof or parking area, and electrical infrastructure.

  2. 2

    Engineering design and proposal

    2–4 weeks

    May include structural, electrical, safety, and return-on-investment review.

  3. 3

    Approvals and procurement

    3–8+ weeks

    Depends on capacity, utility requirements, equipment lead times, and internal approvals.

  4. 4

    Installation and commissioning

    2–8 weeks

    Varies significantly by system size, work access, and whether installation must be staged.

  5. 5

    Inspection, metering and handover

    2–8+ weeks

    Subject to utility inspection, metering, and required documentation.

Industrial

Planning ranges for factories and sites with complex electrical requirements.

  1. 1

    Energy audit and feasibility study

    2–4 weeks

    Reviews load profile, site constraints, shutdown windows, and integration needs.

  2. 2

    Detailed engineering and approvals

    4–8+ weeks

    May include structural studies, protection coordination, and utility or statutory approvals.

  3. 3

    Procurement and project planning

    4–10+ weeks

    Long-lead equipment and site-specific engineering can extend this stage.

  4. 4

    Civil, electrical and solar installation

    4–16+ weeks

    Depends on capacity, site conditions, safety rules, and production schedules.

  5. 5

    Testing, synchronization and handover

    2–8+ weeks

    Includes commissioning tests and applicable utility inspection or synchronization steps.

These ranges are indicative planning estimates, not a promise or guaranteed completion date. Actual timing depends on system capacity, site readiness, equipment supply, weather, utility or DISCOM approvals, inspection availability, documentation, and current scheme rules. Subsidy availability and processing apply only where the project and customer meet the relevant scheme requirements.
