SkySolar – Your Trusted Solar Partner in Vizianagaram & Visakhapatnam
For many homeowners, going solar feels like a simple decision: install panels, reduce electricity bills, and enjoy long-term savings.
But in reality, the wrong EPC company (Engineering, Procurement & Construction) can turn a dream project into a costly headache.
From installation errors to poor-quality materials, homeowners often face hidden costs that are never mentioned during the quotation stage.
At SkySolar, we believe in transparency, engineering excellence, and delivering installations built to last 25+ years.
This blog reveals the hidden expenses you can completely avoid simply by choosing a reliable solar EPC partner.
1. Poor System Design Leading to Low Energy Production
Many installers use a “one-size-fits-all” design approach.
Wrong panel tilt, poor shading analysis, or incorrect inverter sizing can cause energy loss up to 15–30% every year.
🔍 Hidden Cost:
- Lower monthly savings
- Longer payback period
- Need for redesign or system expansion later
✔️ How SkySolar Avoids This:
- Scientific roof survey
- Solar path analysis (shading study)
- Correct inverter-panel ratio design
- Layout optimized for AP’s climate
2. Cheap Materials That Fail Early
Some EPC companies reduce the quotation price by using:
- Low-efficiency solar panels
- Local-brand inverters
- Low-quality structures & wiring
These components often deteriorate within 2–3 years.
🔍 Hidden Cost:
- Replacement charges
- Technician visits
- Frequent breakdowns during summers & monsoon
✔️ SkySolar’s Quality Promise:
We use only Tier-1 panels, branded inverters, UV-resistant cables, and rust-proof structures, ensuring durability against coastal climate and heavy rains.
3. Incorrect Installation Causing Water Leakage & Roof Damage
Improper drilling, sealing, or mounting can cause:
- Water seepage
- Crack formation on the roof
- Rusting of bolts and failed mounting
🔍 Hidden Cost:
- Roof repair expenses
- Reinstallation charges
- Structural damage to the house
✔️ SkySolar’s Approach:
Our trained installation team follows:
- Standard engineering protocols
- Weatherproof sealing
- Wind-speed-specific mounting for coastal areas like Vizag
4. No Proper Earthing & Surge Protection
Many installers ignore electrical safety to reduce costs.
Without proper earthing, lightning arrestors, or surge protection, your system is vulnerable.
🔍 Hidden Cost:
- Burnt inverter or panels
- High repair or replacement charges
- Risk to household appliances
✔️ SkySolar Ensures:
- Triple earthing system
- Surge protection devices
Safety-first installation approach
5. Hidden AMC, Service Charges & After-Sales Neglect
Some EPC companies provide low upfront cost but charge heavily for:
- Cleaning
- Maintenance visits
- Troubleshooting
- Replacements
- App monitoring
Or even worse — they disappear after installation.
🔍 Hidden Cost:
Recurring expenses that kill the savings from solar.
✔️ SkySolar Promise:
- Transparent AMC plans
- Regular system health checks
- Quick service support in Vizianagaram & Visakhapatnam
- Lifetime assistance
6. Wrong Documentation Causing Loss of Subsidy or Warranty
Incorrect paperwork, missing approvals, or wrong application process can delay or block:
- DISCOM approvals
- Subsidy benefits
- Warranty claims
🔍 Hidden Cost:
Loss of ₹20,000 – ₹78,000 (depending on system size).
✔️ SkySolar Handles Everything:
- Complete documentation
- Subsidy guidance
- Warranty registration
- DISCOM liaison support
