Kerala Man's Electricity Bill Drops from ₹2,000 to ₹0 After Installing Solar

Kerala

After installing Su-Kam solar, a Kerala homeowner watched a monthly electricity bill of around ₹2,000 fall all the way to zero — a clean, repeatable result that made solar an easy decision for neighbours who saw it.

Kerala's grid is comparatively reliable, so the win here came from net metering: under the KSEB system, solar generated by day is fed back to the grid and banked as credit against future bills, so a correctly sized rooftop array can wipe out the bill entirely within the year.

It was a textbook case of the residential solar economics Su-Kam championed years before national subsidy schemes — and one more proof point in Kunwer Sachdev's push to make solar pay for ordinary South Indian homes.
