Introduction

Are you tired of the same story every month? Electricity bills are rising, and each is bigger than the last. But switching off fans and unplugging chargers does not seem enough anymore. For lakhs of households across India, this is a shared problem. As electricity needs grow in modern households, many homeowners are exploring solar energy as the smart way to power their homes.

You've probably thought about solar before, too. But somewhere along the way, you wondered if it’s too expensive to set up, or that may be your roof isn't big enough. Tata Power’s 1 kW solar setups are the solution to all your solar woes. Here is everything you need to know about this compact wonder before you go solar.

What is a 1 kW solar system?

Tata Power Solaroof is now launching its 1 kW solar system: a compact, affordable option designed specifically for Indian homes that are taking their first step towards solar. This system is a compact rooftop setup designed to generate electricity from sunlight.

Because of its smaller size, a 1 kW system is often an ideal starting point for homeowners who want to experience the benefits of solar without installing a large system.

On average, a 1 kW rooftop solar system can generate about 4–5 units of electricity per day, which translates to roughly 120–150 units per month. Over time, this can significantly reduce dependence on grid electricity and lower monthly electricity expenses.

It is particularly suitable for:

Homes with limited rooftop space
