Quick answer: verify the business and official scheme status where applicable, site-survey assumptions, module and inverter model numbers, structure and electrical scope, generation estimate, warranties, approvals, milestones, exclusions, and service responsibility. Pay against verifiable milestones—not a promise of subsidy, savings, or “lifetime maintenance.”

  • Measure before sizing: use 12 months of consumption, roof and shade data, sanctioned load, and current tariff or export rules.
  • Lock the equipment schedule: module, inverter, structure, cable, protection, meter, monitoring, warranty and service responsibility.
  • Pay by milestones: survey and design, material delivery, installation, inspection or commissioning, and documentation—not promised subsidy.
  • Protect safety and evidence: qualified electrical and height work, serial numbers, photos, test results, portal and DISCOM records.

A logo, marketplace listing or WhatsApp claim is not proof of empanelment. Check the relevant official portal or DISCOM process, confirm the legal entity receiving payment and verify the exact equipment and service scope.
