@rdst_1 @adder Any particular inverter and solar panels that you recommend ?
Going to Lithium Ion batteries may take another year or 2 right ? I am thinking of getting the rooftop solar work done while net metering policy still exists in Karnataka (extended till Mar 2021). Maybe I can get a EV in 2021 as well, since 99% of my use is within city <50 km range.
Initially I wanted to go with a 10kw plant, but that would require changing single phase wiring to 3 phase, BESCOM quoted a bomb for that, it would also probably involve tearing down walls to which family won't agree.
The argument made by the installer for micro-inverter is that they come with a 10/25 year warranty and provide better generation even under partial shadow, if I go with a single SolarEdge string inverter then if there is shadow on a single panel output of the whole plant would go down.
adder - any ballpark of when you think you would be able to begin the project ?
I have a budget of 3-3.5L for the solar setup and am not particular on any components or panels. Just want to get the best value for my money, with my physical limitations.

Thanks, even I felt the cost was high. But due to a surgery I cannot lift weights above 5 kgs and hence have to rely on these 3rd party installers. I can do research on approved panels and inverters in my state and buy them, but transporting them and installing them on the roof is beyond my capability.i can help you in panels.Buy vikram panels these are really good penals and tried and tested.price you mentioned is insane.a 10kv solar system costs around that much price with tata panels which are most are most expensive one.i enquired about panel for chetansha which he had asked.solar panel prices have gone way down dont get yourself looted.adani mono panels are around 22 and simple one 20rs,tata ones are 25,26rs per watt vikram panel is same around adani.havent used these iq7 micro inverter so cant say anything.we are using solar inverter with batteries so we bring down DC cable from rooftop to solar inverter directly.my cousin have installed one controller like thing it draws 30% extra dc power from panels.sorry i forgot name of that equipment.if you are spending that much money buy 5kv solar inverter with batteries and panels.simply dont pay that much amount
