India rooftop solar capacity reaches 14.8 GW

Rooftop solar adoption in India is increasing, with installations under the PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana exceeding 50 lakh households by August 2026. This has brought the cumulative rooftop solar capacity to nearly 14.8 GW nationwide.

When planning a solar installation, homeowners must consider several technical factors, including roof feasibility, electrical connections, and the choice of inverter. Inverters are essential for converting direct current (DC) from solar panels into alternating current (AC) for household use. Depending on a property’s electrical requirements, users must choose between single-phase and three-phase on-grid solar inverters to ensure compatibility with the electrical system and the utility grid.
