The Hidden Costs Homeowners Can Avoid by Choosing the Right Solar EPC Company

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
