    Smart meters rely on real-time data transmission to monitor energy usage and enable features like prepaid billing. Without stable communication networks, data transfer can fail, hindering the meters' functionality and benefits.

    The final cost of your solar system will depend on many factors like location (state), installer, choice of input materials. But a benchmark will be between Rs 50,000 and Rs 60,000 per KW.

    The additional surplus solar energy produced in rooftop solar setups in a grid-connected rooftop solar system is given to your electricity distribution company. The total number of surplus units not used by you and sent to the grid is also adjusted in your bill. So for example 100 units of surplus solar energy is not used by you and was sent to the grid, the electricity company while generating your bill will reduce 100 units from your total energy that used from the grid.

    No. There is no free solar scheme run by the government. These are rumours created by fake website. The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) is actually running a subsidized rooftop solar scheme for residential consumers where the consumers can get upto Rs 78,000 subsidies for installting rooftop solar. However, they have to bear the upfront cost on their own at the time of installation. There are other subsidized solar schemes too like PM-KUSUM where farmers get solar pumps with subsidy support.
