1. Acceptance of Terms
By accessing or using the SolarAudit website (“solaraudit.vercel.app” or “the Site”), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service (“Terms”). If you do not agree with any part of these Terms, you must not use the Site.
2. Description of Service
SolarAudit provides a free online calculator that estimates solar panel return on investment (ROI) for Indian homeowners. The calculator uses publicly available tariff data from state DISCOMs, subsidy information from MNRE, and standard industry assumptions to generate estimates.
The Site also provides educational guides, product recommendations, and curated product links to third-party e-commerce platforms.
3. Calculator Disclaimer
The calculations provided by SolarAudit are estimates only and should not be treated as financial advice or guarantees. Actual solar savings depend on numerous factors including but not limited to:
- Your roof's actual shadow-free area and orientation
- Panel degradation rates over time (typically 0.5–0.7% per year)
- Future electricity tariff changes by your DISCOM
- Local weather conditions and actual solar irradiance
- Quality of installation and equipment chosen
- Net metering policy changes by your state government
- Subsidy disbursement timelines and eligibility changes
We recommend consulting a certified solar installer and obtaining multiple quotations before making any investment decision. SolarAudit is not responsible for any financial loss incurred based on our calculator estimates.
