How to Choose a Solar Company in Hyderabad 2026 — What to Check
Updated July 2026 | By Sri Ishaan Solar Team
Choosing a solar installer in Hyderabad? Here is what to check before you sign with any installer — registration, warranty terms, DISCOM paperwork handling and after-sales support — plus typical 3 kW price ranges.
What to Look for in a Solar Company
1. MNRE / TSREDCO Empanelment
Only empanelled installers can process PM Surya Ghar subsidies. Always ask for their empanelment certificate.
2. Workmanship Warranty (Not Just Panel Warranty)
Every solar panel comes with a 25-year manufacturer warranty. What matters is the installer's workmanship warranty — this covers mounting, wiring, and labour. Look for minimum 5 years.
3. DISCOM Paperwork Handling
Net metering application, DISCOM inspection, bi-directional meter installation — a good company handles ALL of this. If they ask you to do the DISCOM paperwork yourself, find another installer.
4. Post-Installation Support
Solar systems need occasional cleaning and monitoring. Ask if they offer AMC (Annual Maintenance Contract) or at least respond to service calls.
5. Google Reviews
Check Google Maps reviews — not just the star rating, but read the actual reviews. Look for mentions of "after-sales service" and "paperwork handling".
6. Does the Company Stay Reachable After You Pay the Advance?
A common worry: you pay the advance, then the sales team goes quiet for weeks. Ask directly — will I have one named contact throughout, or a different rep each time I call? Is any part of the advance refundable if there's an unreasonable delay? A company that hesitates to answer either question is telling you something.
Price Comparison (3 kW Residential System)
| Company | Price Range | After Subsidy |
|---|---|---|
| National brands | ₹2,00,000 – ₹2,60,000 | ₹1,22,000 – ₹1,82,000 |
| Regional installers | ₹2,00,000 – ₹2,40,000 | ₹1,22,000 – ₹1,62,000 |
| Sri Ishaan Solar | ₹2,30,000 | ₹1,52,000 |
| Other local installers | ₹1,80,000 – ₹2,20,000 | ₹1,02,000 – ₹1,42,000 |
Prices vary based on panel brand, inverter type, and roof condition. Always get 3 written quotes before deciding.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I choose the best solar company in Hyderabad?
Key checks: (1) TGREDCO empanelment — mandatory for PMSG subsidy; (2) ALMM-listed panels — required for subsidy eligibility; (3) Written warranty document; (4) Net metering experience with TGSPDCL/TGNPDCL; (5) No 100% advance before installation. Sri Ishaan Solar is TGREDCO registered (Reg. TSRE260936).
What is TGREDCO empanelment and why does it matter?
TGREDCO (Telangana Renewable Energy Development Corporation) empanelment is mandatory for solar installers to process PM Surya Ghar subsidy for Telangana customers. Installing with a non-empanelled company means you forfeit the ₹78,000 subsidy. Always verify the installer's TGREDCO registration number.
What red flags should I watch for when hiring a solar company?
Red flags: asking for 100% advance payment before installation; no written quotation; offering non-ALMM panels; promising subsidy before sanction letter; no physical office or verifiable address; no GST invoice. Always get 3 quotes before deciding.
What happens if a solar company goes silent after I pay the advance?
It can happen with any installer — advance paid, then weeks of unanswered calls before installation. Protect yourself: get a written payment schedule tied to project milestones (not 100% upfront), confirm you'll have one named contact throughout, and ask directly whether any part of the advance is refundable if there's an unreasonable delay.
