Is it worth it
Is rooftop solar worth it in Kerala?
For most Kerala roofs with reasonable shade-free area, yes. A well-oriented roof generates about 1,400 units per kilowatt per year here: roughly 3.9 units per kilowatt per day averaged across the year. With the PM Surya Ghar subsidy on residential systems and KSEB net metering banking your surplus, the arithmetic works for most households whose bill sits in the upper KSEB slabs.
The two things that decide whether it works on your roof are usable shade-free area and your actual consumption. Neither can be judged from a phone call, which is why the survey comes first.

What a Kerala roof actually produces
Kerala averages roughly 3.9 units per kilowatt per day across the year. February to April are strongest; June to August, during the south-west monsoon, are weakest.
✓ Roughly 3.9 units per kW per day, averaged over the year
✓ Strong months bank credit that carries the monsoon
✓ Orientation and tilt change the figure, shade changes it most
Roof area
How much clear roof a system needs
A 3 kW system needs roughly 210 to 270 sq ft that stays clear of shade between about 9 am and 4 pm.
✓ 70 to 90 sq ft of shade-free roof per kilowatt
✓ Water tanks, parapets and palms all reduce usable area
✓ Measured on site, not estimated from a satellite image

What decides it
The two real constraints
Net metering carries the monsoon
Credit banked in the strong months offsets the wet months, which is why the annual figure matters more than any single month.
Shading is the usual constraint
Coconut palms, water tanks, parapets and neighbouring buildings, not the amount of sunshine.
