The Real Cost of Cheap Solar
Many vendors offer low prices to win orders. Savings appear upfront — the real cost reveals itself later.
| Component | Kalash Energy Standard | Cheap Vendor Reality |
|---|---|---|
| Solar Panels | Tier-1 (Adani, Waaree) | Unknown brands, no warranty |
| Mounting Structure | 2mm GI non-welded, 160×50 legs | Thin 1.2mm or welded box pipe |
| DC/AC Wiring | Pure copper FRLS grade | Aluminium or CCA bonded copper |
| Inverter | Branded (Havells, Luminous, Waaree) | Indian-named Chinese inverters |
| Protection | Earthing + ACDB/DCDB with fuse & SPD | Only earthing + basic ACDB/DCDB (no fuse, no SPD) |
Timeline of Problems
- Year 0–2: Everything looks fine.
- Year 2–5: Panels underperform. Wiring hotspots. Surface rust on structure.
- Year 5–8: Structure weakens. Wiring cracks. Inverter fails — no warranty.
- Year 8+: Major repairs — costs more than original price difference.
⚠️ Saving ₹15,000–25,000 upfront can cost ₹60,000–1,20,000 in repairs over 10 years.
