FAQ

Telangana Solar FAQ — TSSPDCL & Hyderabad-Specific Answers

8 key questions for Hyderabad residents before going solar — with TSERC policy details.

Yes — with nuance. Hyderabad gets 5.8–6.0 peak sun hours/day, making it among India's best solar cities. However, TSSPDCL tariff is moderate (₹5.75/unit max). The best ROI is for high-consumption households (400+ units/month) who hit the upper slabs. A 4 kW plant in Hyderabad for a 400-unit household breaks even in approximately 5.5 years and earns ₹5+ lakh in 25-year net savings. For households under 200 units/month, the ROI is less compelling unless solar is for backup.
