Solar for Home
Reliable power for your home.
What a home system actually does, which kind suits which household, and where the numbers come from — explained plainly, so you can judge any proposal you are given.
Why home solar
Generate your own power. Store it for later.
Cut your electricity bill
Generate your own power during the day and reduce what you buy from the grid. With net metering, surplus can offset your bill further.
Power through outages
Add a battery and your essential loads — lights, fans, fridge, router — keep running when the grid does not.
Use your roof
A typical Dhaka rooftop has room for real generation. Your roof can do more than dry clothes.
Know your system
Good systems come with monitoring that shows generation, usage and savings live. Ask for it.
System types
Three kinds of system.
Grid-tied
Lowest cost per unit. Best when your grid supply is reliable and your goal is bill reduction.
- Solar panels
- Grid-tied inverter
- Net-metering application
- Monitoring (ask for it)
Hybrid + battery
The full experience: daytime solar, nighttime storage, and backup during outages.
- Solar panels
- Hybrid inverter
- LiFePO4 battery
- Monitoring (ask for it)
Backup-first
Start with modern lithium backup now; add solar panels when you are ready.
- Hybrid inverter
- LiFePO4 battery
- Solar-ready wiring
- Monitoring (ask for it)
Final configuration and cost depend on your roof, your loads and a proper site survey by whoever installs.
The process
What a home solar project actually involves.
- 01
Know your numbers
Your monthly bill, your roof and how much backup you want. The calculator is a fair first pass.
- 02
Sketch what fits
Plan the roof, panel by panel, so you know what is realistic before anyone quotes you.
- 03
Get it measured
Whoever installs must survey the roof, the wiring route and the structure. Insist on it.
- 04
Compare designs
Two or three proposals, read side by side. This is where an independent second opinion earns its keep.
- 05
Install, then watch it
A commissioned system with monitoring shows whether it does what was promised.
FAQ
Home solar questions.
How much solar do I need?
It depends on your monthly electricity use, roof space and what you want from it. As a starting point, the calculator estimates a system size from your monthly bill. Final sizing always needs the roof measured and the loads checked on site — by whoever eventually installs.
Can I use solar during power outages?
A grid-tied system alone shuts off during outages for safety. If you add a battery with a hybrid inverter, your essential loads can keep running when the grid goes down. How long depends on battery size and what you run.
Do I need a battery?
Not always. If your goal is mainly to reduce your bill and your grid supply is reliable, grid-tied solar may be enough. If load-shedding affects you, or you want to use solar energy at night, a battery makes the system far more useful — and more expensive.
Can I use net metering?
Net metering lets eligible customers export surplus solar to the grid and offset their bill. Eligibility and the process depend on your distribution utility and connection type. Ask us and we will explain how it works for your situation; the application itself goes through your utility.
How much roof space do I need?
As a rule of thumb, each kilowatt of solar needs roughly 60–100 square feet of unshaded roof, depending on panel choice and layout. The roof planner shows what is left once the water tank, stair room and parapet shadow are taken out.
