01 Site record
Elevated framing, a water tank and electrical integration
This home uses an elevated solar structure above a terrace water tank (shown on our Cuttack page); the photograph here records the inverter and protection equipment on a wall. Discuss access to tanks, drains and equipment before choosing a raised structure; supporting loads, fixing and wind exposure require a site-specific design.
02 Scope
The installation
The homeowner’s roof provides space for a 3 kW solar installation. The photograph on this page shows the inverter and protection equipment of this installation. Solar panels, mounting and electrical integration work together as a complete system; their final arrangement follows the conditions at each home.
A project of this size should be assessed against the household’s electricity use, roof space, shading and connection requirements. The same rated capacity can produce different results at different sites.

03 Your home
Planning a similar rooftop system
Start with a recent electricity bill and an assessment of the roof. Read our residential rooftop solar guide for the survey, equipment and installation process, and the PM Surya Ghar Odisha guide for the official application journey. Subsidy eligibility, approved vendor selection, inspection and metering are decided through the relevant government and DISCOM process.
Before agreeing a proposal, compare the equipment schedule, warranty terms, installation scope and maintenance responsibilities. A quotation should explain the roof arrangement, electrical protections, connection process and any work excluded from the quoted scope.
Frequently asked questions
Why is roof access a feature of this example?
The installation uses an elevated structure together with a terrace water tank, shown on our Cuttack page. A new layout should retain the access needed for existing roof equipment and maintenance.
Does a 3 kW system guarantee a zero bill?
No. Generation, household consumption, shading, weather and DISCOM charges affect the bill. Installed capacity alone cannot establish savings.
Can I use this project as a subsidy approval guarantee?
No. Each household follows the official application and eligibility process. A completed installation at another home does not guarantee approval or payment.
How do I plan a similar installation?
Request a site assessment with your location, recent electricity bill and roof details. The proposed capacity and equipment should follow your own site’s requirements.
