Practical IssuesAs you are aware there are several practical issues involved in getting your loan application approved, your system installed and your subsidy application is submitted/approved and subsidy amount procured from NABARD, below are few practical issues and solutions to circumvent those issues
Local BankIf you are living in an urban or semi-urban area, your local bank manager might not respond favorably to your request for solar loan, most urban and semi-urban banks are overloaded and they would not be interested in processing your loan application for following reasons
  • Your local bank is not aware of the procedure involved in processing your solar loan application under NABARD Scheme
  • Your local bank is not sure if they would be able to get your subsidy approved from NABARD
  • Your local bank is not interested in processing solar loans as there is a lot of paperwork involved and there is no incentive for the banks to process your loan
  • Your local bank does not have any directive from their regional or corporate office to offer solar loans
  • Your local bank does know/have any NABARD approved vendors to install these solar systems
Solution
  • Reach out to other interested parties in your area who are interested in these solar systems
  • Form a group of 10 to 15 interested parties approach your bank as a group
  • Reach out to one of the approved vendors/manufactures and let them know that you have a big group of interested individuals
  • Approved vendors will advice your local bank on the process involved and they will handle necessary paperwork
Authenticity of Vendors
There are several individuals and companies who claim to be authorised dealers and sub-dealers of NABARD approved manufacturers and you are not sure which of these individuals and companies are authentic
Solution
All NABARD approved manufactures provide a letter of approval to their authorized dealers for NABARD program, request a copy of approval letter from the individuals/companies
Warranty
NABARD program requires 25 years of warranty for Solar Panels and 5 years warranty balance of the system including solar inverter and batteries
  • Ask for warranty cards for all the components including solar panels, inverter and batteries
  • Ask these companies to provide references from their previous installations
  • Make sure that these companies have significant local presence and make sure that they are not fly-by-night companies
Solar Plant Capacity
You are not sure about solar plant capacity that you need to install to support your usage
Visit our website to configure your solar plant size based on your actual usage
You want to become a dealer
You are interested in becoming a dealer for installing solar systems as there are no companies in your area offering these services
Solution
Most NABARD approved manufacturers have their dealer network through out the country, select a manufacturer whose dealer network is the strongest in your area, approach the local dealer and express your interest in becoming a sub-dealer, ask the dealer to provide you with necessary training on the solar products and technology
  • Build a team of electricians and get them trained on how to install and wire solar panels, inverter and battery banks
  • Rent a physical location and offer a service point and post installation support for up-to 5 years
