Frequently Asked Questions

This is the list of frequently asked questions before buying any IYRO products, so we've summarized the answers.

Solar Panel FAQs
Do solar panels work during cloudy or rainy days?

Yes, solar panels still generate power on cloudy or rainy days, although at reduced efficiency. They need sunlight, not direct heat, to produce electricity.

What is the lifespan of a solar panel?

Most high-quality solar panels last 25–30 years with proper maintenance and still generate power even after their warranty period.

Will installing solar panels reduce my electricity bill completely?

That depends on your system size and electricity usage. A properly sized solar system can offset most or all of your electricity bill.

Can I expand my solar system later?

Yes, you can start small and add more panels later, provided your inverter supports expansion.

Do solar panels require frequent cleaning?

Panels need occasional cleaning to remove dust and bird droppings for maximum efficiency.

Are solar panels safe during storms?

Yes, solar panels are built to withstand rain, hail, and strong winds if installed properly.

Solar Tubular Battery FAQs
What is a solar tubular battery?

A solar tubular battery is a deep-cycle battery designed to store energy from solar panels for long durations, making it ideal for backup during power cuts.

How long does a solar tubular battery last?

A good quality tubular battery typically lasts 5–7 years, depending on usage and maintenance.

How should I maintain a solar tubular battery?

Regularly top up distilled water, keep terminals clean, and avoid deep discharges to ensure long life.

What is the warranty on solar tubular batteries?

Most come with 3–5 years of warranty depending on the brand.

How do I know if my solar battery is failing?

If it doesn’t hold charge, takes longer to recharge, or backup time reduces, it may need replacement.

Are solar tubular batteries eco-friendly?

Yes, they are recyclable and safer for long-term use compared to lead-acid batteries.

On-Grid Inverter FAQs
What is an on-grid solar inverter?

An on-grid inverter connects your solar system directly to the electricity grid. It allows you to use solar power during the day and export surplus energy back to the grid.

Do I need batteries with an on-grid inverter?

No, on-grid systems don’t require batteries. They directly connect to the utility grid.

How long does an on-grid inverter last?

A good-quality inverter typically lasts 8–12 years with proper maintenance.

Can I check my on-grid inverter performance online?

Yes, most inverters come with Wi-Fi/mobile apps for real-time monitoring.

What happens if the grid goes down?

On-grid inverters shut down automatically during power cuts to protect utility workers.

Is net metering available with on-grid inverters?

Yes, net metering lets you sell excess electricity to the grid and lower your bill.

Off-Grid Inverter FAQs
What is an off-grid solar inverter?

An off-grid inverter works independently of the grid. It uses batteries to store solar energy and provides power even during blackouts.

Do I need batteries with an off-grid inverter?

Yes, off-grid systems always require batteries to store solar power.

Can off-grid systems power an entire house?

Yes, if designed properly with the right battery bank and solar capacity.

How long do off-grid inverters last?

On average, 7–10 years with regular maintenance and proper usage.

Are off-grid inverters more expensive than on-grid?

Yes, because they need batteries and charge controllers, making them costlier.

Who should install an off-grid solar system?

It’s ideal for remote areas, farms, or homes with frequent power cuts.

Government Schemes (PM Surya Ghar) FAQs
What is the PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana?

It’s a scheme that gives subsidies to homeowners installing rooftop solar, helping reduce electricity costs.

How much free electricity do I get under PM Surya Ghar?

Eligible households can get up to 300 units of free electricity per month.

Who is eligible for the PM Surya Ghar scheme?

Any Indian household with a valid electricity connection and rooftop space can apply.

How much subsidy is offered under this scheme?

The subsidy ranges from ₹18,000–₹30,000 per kW, depending on system size and government updates.

How can I apply for rooftop solar subsidy?

You need to apply through the National Rooftop Solar Portal, select an empaneled vendor, and follow the process.

How long does it take to receive subsidy benefits?

Usually within 30–90 days after installation and approval from the DISCOM.
