  Key Considerations for Selecting a Solar Vendor

1. Empanelment with DISCOMs: Ensure the vendor is empanelled with your state's electricity distribution company (DISCOM) under the PM Suryaghar Yojana. Only empanelled vendors are authorized to install systems eligible for subsidies.
2. Experience and Track Record: Opt for vendors with a proven history of successful installations. Check for customer reviews, past projects, and any certifications that demonstrate their expertise.
3. Quality of Equipment: Verify that the vendor uses components that meet the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) specifications, such as:
• Solar PV panels listed in the Approved List of Models and Manufacturers (ALMM).
• Grid-connected inverters compliant with MNRE/BIS standards.
• Module mounting structures galvanized as per IS standards.
4. After-Sales Service: A reliable vendor should offer comprehensive after-sales support, including maintenance services and warranty coverage.
5. Transparent Pricing: Request detailed quotations and ensure there are no hidden charges. Compare prices among multiple vendors to make an informed decision.
