Frequently Asked Questions

Costs vary depending on system size, location, and specific requirements. A typical residential rooftop system (5–10 kWp) can range from $5,000 to $15,000. Commercial and resort systems are larger and priced accordingly. We provide free site assessments and custom quotes — contact us to get an accurate estimate for your specific situation.

Savings depend on your system size and energy usage, but many customers save 50–90% on their electricity bills. Commercial customers on the highest tariff band see the biggest savings. Through net metering, any excess energy you produce is credited to your account, further reducing costs.

The payback period is one of the fastest in the world: under 3 years for commercial customers outside Male', under 4 years in the Male' region, and 4–6 years for residential. After payback, solar panels continue generating free electricity for 20+ more years.

Yes! We offer several options including flexible financing plans and Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs). With these options, you can start benefiting from solar energy with zero or minimal upfront cost. Call us to discuss which financing option works best for you.

Net metering is a billing arrangement where two meters are installed — one for energy you import from the grid and one for energy you export. At the end of the billing period, the two are offset. For example, if you used 2,000 kWh from the grid but exported 1,500 kWh, you only pay for 500 kWh. We handle the entire net metering registration and setup process.

High-quality solar panels have a lifespan of 25–30+ years. Most come with a 25-year performance warranty guaranteeing at least 80% output. The panels we install are Tier-1 rated, meaning they're manufactured by the world's most reliable and financially stable solar companies.

Yes, solar panels still generate electricity on cloudy days, though at reduced output. The Maldives enjoys abundant sunshine year-round, making it one of the best locations in the world for solar energy. Even during the rainy season, your system will continue producing significant energy.

Solar panels require very little maintenance. Occasional cleaning (removing dust, bird droppings, or debris) is usually sufficient. We recommend a professional inspection once a year. We offer maintenance packages to keep your system performing at peak efficiency.

We provide both the manufacturer's warranty and our own local warranty. This is important because claiming warranty from an overseas manufacturer directly is impractical. With Ecogreen, you deal with us locally — we handle warranty claims on your behalf. This gives you peace of mind and real protection for your investment.

Product warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship — if something is wrong with the panel itself, you get a replacement. Performance warranty guarantees minimum power output over time (usually 80% after 25 years) but doesn't cover replacements. We always recommend choosing panels with a strong product warranty for maximum protection.

Installation time depends on the system size. A typical residential system can be installed in 1–3 days. Larger commercial systems may take 1–2 weeks. The entire process from consultation to commissioning typically takes 2–6 weeks, including design, procurement, and net metering setup.

Yes! While we're based in ADh. Omadhoo, we serve clients across all atolls in the Maldives. We've completed projects in multiple atolls and our team travels to your location for installation. Contact us to discuss your project regardless of which island you're on.

Absolutely! We're pioneers in marine solar in the Maldives. We've been installing solar systems on dhoanis and boats since 2019 with excellent results. Solar on vessels can power lighting, electronics, and navigation equipment. Contact us to discuss a marine solar solution.
