With electricity prices rising across
India, many homeowners are exploring rooftop solar as a long-term solution to
reduce energy expenses. One such inspiring example comes from Roorkee,
Uttarakhand, where a retired Chief Engineer from UPPCL decided to install
solar panels after understanding the real benefits of renewable energy.
Mr. Kamalkant,
a retired Chief Engineer, had always been aware of the power sector.
However, his journey toward adopting rooftop solar began when he visited a Solar
Mela in Dehradun..
At the event, he interacted with multiple
vendors showcasing different solar technologies and installation packages.
While the exhibition highlighted the growing potential of solar energy in
India, Mr. Kamalkant also noticed a challenge in the market.
“There were many vendors promoting solar
products, but very few were actually explaining how to choose the right system
according to the customer’s needs,” he recalls.
For someone with technical knowledge and
years of experience in the power sector, this lack of proper guidance stood
out.
During his search for a reliable solar
solution, Mr. Kamalkant came across Unisolar Energies, a rooftop solar
installation company based in Roorkee, Uttarakhand.
According to him, the approach of the
Unisolar team was different from other vendors.
“Instead of just selling a solar system,
they first analyzed my electricity consumption, rooftop capacity, and long-term
requirements,” he explains.
After evaluating his usage patterns and
roof space, the team at Unisolar Energies recommended a 10 kW rooftop
solar system tailored specifically for his property.
The system was installed professionally,
and the entire process—from planning to installation—was handled smoothly by
the company.
Real Financial Impact
The results over the past months have
been impressive.
Before installing rooftop solar, Mr.
Kamalkant’s electricity bills used to range between ₹6,000 to ₹7,000 per
month.
After switching to solar energy, his
electricity expenses dropped significantly.
In fact, within just nine months of
installation, his solar system generated surplus electricity that was
exported back to the grid. Through the net-metering system, he received ₹10,468
as payment from the government for the excess power produced.
Combined with the electricity bills he no
longer had to pay, Mr. Kamalkant estimates that he has already saved more
than ₹70,000 in a year.
“Solar energy is not just about saving
electricity bills. It is about generating your own power and even earning from
it,” he says.
Importance of Choosing the Right Installer
According to experts, one of the most
important factors in solar adoption is choosing the right installation partner.
Many customers focus only on price, but
system design, component quality, and professional guidance play a crucial role
in long-term performance.
Companies like Unisolar Energies
are focusing on educating customers before installation. The company evaluates
rooftop size, sunlight conditions, electricity usage, and future requirements
before recommending a system.
This consultative approach has helped
them build strong trust among customers in Roorkee and nearby regions of
Uttarakhand.
The company reports that it has already installed
more than 100 rooftop solar systems in 2025, helping households and
businesses transition to renewable energy.
Homeowners who want to reduce their
electricity bills or explore rooftop solar solutions can contact Unisolar
Energies for a consultation and site evaluation.
