Question 1

Do solar panels need maintenance?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Rooftop solar in India loses 15–25% generation within 30 days without cleaning, and inverters need an annual health check. A basic maintenance routine — cleaning every 2–4 weeks plus a yearly inverter inspection — keeps a system at peak output.

Question 2

What is the maintenance cost of solar panels in India?

Accepted Answer

Solar AMC pricing is quoted per system because it depends on system size (kW), number of inverters, cleaning frequency, and rooftop access. Bridgeway sends a written quote after a quick WhatsApp conversation — no fixed slab, no surprise add-ons. The general principle: a well-priced AMC costs a fraction of the generation lost to dust and unmonitored faults each year.

Question 3

How often should solar panels be cleaned?

Accepted Answer

In Indian conditions with dust and pollution, solar panels should be cleaned at least once a month. In dusty areas like Delhi NCR, fortnightly cleaning is recommended for optimal performance.

Question 4

What does a solar AMC cover?

Accepted Answer

A solar AMC typically covers panel cleaning, inverter health checks, wiring inspection, performance monitoring, and emergency support. Premium plans also include parts replacement coverage and warranty coordination.

Question 5

Do you service solar systems installed by other companies?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Bridgeway Power services all brands and types of rooftop solar systems — regardless of who installed them. We perform a full system audit before onboarding.

Question 6

What is included in solar power plant maintenance?

Accepted Answer

Solar power plant maintenance includes panel cleaning, inverter diagnostics, DC/AC wiring inspection, earthing and lightning protection checks, monitoring system review, performance benchmarking against expected generation, and preventive replacement of consumables.

Question 7

What's the difference between Essential, Plus, and Total Care AMC plans?

Accepted Answer

Essential includes 4 cleanings per year with an annual inverter check. Plus doubles that to 8 cleanings, adds performance monitoring, and priority support. Total Care gives you 12 cleanings (monthly), 24/7 support, unlimited emergency visits, and full warranty coordination.

Question 8

How do I know if my rooftop solar is underperforming?

Accepted Answer

Divide the units generated on your electricity bill by your system size in kW and by the number of days on the bill. A healthy rooftop system in Delhi NCR produces around 4 units per kW per day. Anything below 3.6 is worth a clean; below 3.0 usually means dust, a failed inverter, a dead string, new shading, loose DC connections or a mis-read net meter.

Question 9

What is the difference between AMC and O&M?

Accepted Answer

AMC (Annual Maintenance Contract) is scheduled maintenance and reactive support for a specific site under a fixed annual fee. O&M (Operations and Maintenance) is the broader industry term used more often for commercial and utility-scale plants; it typically includes performance-guarantee clauses and deeper monitoring. For a residential rooftop, AMC is the applicable term.

Question 10

Does an AMC cover inverter replacement?

Accepted Answer

The AMC covers diagnosis, minor repairs and warranty coordination with the inverter OEM. A full inverter replacement is covered under the OEM's own warranty (typically 5-10 years, extendable) when the failure is within warranty terms; the AMC team handles the OEM paperwork and physical swap. Out-of-warranty replacement is quoted separately.

Question 11

How fast is emergency response under a Bridgeway AMC?

Accepted Answer

Response times depend on the plan tier and the site's location within the Delhi NCR service area. Essential plans use standard scheduling; Plus and Total Care carry priority and shorter target response windows. Written SLAs are stated in the signed AMC contract.

Question 12

What is a normal daily yield for rooftop solar in Delhi NCR?

Accepted Answer

A well-maintained rooftop system in Delhi NCR produces roughly 4 units per kW per day on average across the year — the equivalent of 1,450–1,600 kWh per kWp per year. Winter fog and summer soiling pull the number down; a good AMC keeps it close to this benchmark.
