Answers about how our vendor marketplace works, requesting quotes, comparing installers, subsidies, and what happens after you connect with a vendor.
About the Platform
What is SolarVishwa?
SolarVishwa is a city-first marketplace that helps homeowners and businesses discover, compare, and connect with trusted rooftop solar installation vendors. Instead of researching companies one by one, you can browse verified vendor profiles for your city, compare their services and capacity, and request a free quote in a few clicks.
Is SolarVishwa a solar installation company?
No. We don’t install solar panels ourselves. We’re a discovery and comparison platform that connects you with independent, verified solar vendors in your city who carry out the actual site survey, design, and installation.
Is it free to use SolarVishwa?
Yes, completely free for homeowners. Browsing vendor profiles, comparing options, and requesting quotes costs nothing — there’s no obligation to proceed with any vendor you contact.
Which cities does SolarVishwa cover?
We’re expanding city by city across India. Use the city switcher at the top of the homepage to see vendors available in your area. If your city isn’t listed yet, you can still submit a quote request and we’ll match you with the nearest verified vendors.
Finding & Comparing Vendors
How are vendors verified before being listed?
We review each vendor’s business details, including registration and GST information, service history, and installation capacity, before they’re published on the platform. This helps filter out unregistered or unreliable installers.
Can I compare multiple vendors before deciding?
Yes. You can view multiple vendor profiles side by side, each showing their services, installation capacity, service areas, and contact details, so you can shortlist a few before requesting quotes.
What information is shown on a vendor’s profile?
Each vendor profile includes company details, the services they offer, installation capacity, the cities and areas they serve, and direct contact options. Reviews and ratings are coming soon to help you evaluate vendors even further.
Requesting a Quote
How do I request a free quote?
Open any vendor’s profile page and click “Get Free Quote.” Fill in a few details about your property, city, and rough monthly electricity bill, and the vendor will review your request and get in touch, typically within 24 hours.
Is my personal information shared with every vendor on the platform?
No. Your details are only shared with the specific vendor(s) you choose to request a quote from — never broadcast to every vendor on the platform, and never sold to third parties.
How quickly will a vendor respond to my request?
Most vendors on SolarVishwa aim to respond within 24 hours of receiving a quote request. Response times can vary slightly depending on the vendor and your location.
Do I have to accept a quote once I request one?
Not at all. Requesting a quote is 100% free with no obligation. You’re free to compare quotes from multiple vendors and choose whichever one fits your needs and budget, or none at all.
Installation & Subsidies
How long does a rooftop solar installation usually take?
Once you finalize a vendor, installation timelines typically range from a few days to a few weeks depending on system size, roof type, and any approvals required from your local electricity board. Your chosen vendor will give you an exact timeline during the site survey.
What government subsidies am I eligible for?
Depending on your state and property type, you may be eligible for central and state rooftop solar subsidy schemes. Visit our Subsidies & Schemes page for current details, or ask your shortlisted vendor — most handle subsidy paperwork as part of their service.
What if I’m not satisfied with a vendor after connecting with them?
You’re never locked into a single vendor. If a conversation doesn’t work out, you can request quotes from other vendors serving your city at no extra cost.
For Solar Vendors
I run a solar installation company. How do I get listed?
We’re onboarding verified vendors city by city. Reach out to us through the Contact page with your company details, service areas, and installation capacity, and our team will guide you through the listing and verification process.
How do I receive leads once I’m listed?
Once verified, your profile goes live in your service cities. When a homeowner requests a quote through your profile, you’ll receive their details directly by email so you can follow up promptly.
