URPC delivers grid-tied, hybrid, and backup-focused home solar systems, including PV-only where suitable and PV + battery (BESS) where reliability and outage coverage are required.
Yes, especially where households face power cuts, voltage variation, and rising bills. A properly sized system can reduce monthly consumption from the grid and improve power quality for sensitive appliances.
• PV-only:
Reduces daytime grid consumption; limited backup during outages.
• PV + battery (BESS):
Provides backup power, evening use, and load management during outages or peak-cost periods.
Not always. Residential designs typically prioritise essential circuits (lighting, internet, TV, fans, fridge, security, selected sockets). High-load equipment (cookers, water heaters, AC) may be included only with adequate sizing and wiring separation.
We’ll provide a standard list (lights, fans, TV, decoder, fridge, freezer, router, washing machine, iron, AC, water pump, etc.) with:
• Quantity per item, and
• Typical wattage ranges for customer-facing estimates.
URPC’s internal team will validate and refine the inputs after a site visit.
Minimum recommended inputs:
• Last 3 months electricity bills (or longer if available)
• Address + Google Maps pin
• Operating profile (who is home and when, day vs evening usage)
• Whether you use a generator and approximate diesel spend (if applicable)
• Photos of:
– Available roof/yard space for PV installation
– The main electricity board / distribution board
Yes, Uploads are used to estimate consumption patterns, confirm site suitability, and prepare a project assessment. Access is controlled for internal review and delivery planning.
Where applicable and approved, URPC can design systems that support export measurement through bidirectional metering and follow the relevant utility/regulator requirements. Export capability is site- and approval-dependent.
A bidirectional meter measures:
• Energy imported from the grid, and
• Energy exported back to the grid
as separate values. This supports accurate settlement and performance verification where export is permitted.
Yes, in a hybrid configuration where it makes commercial and operational sense. Grid-charging can be used to improve resilience and reduce required PV capacity for charging—subject to design controls and site requirements.
URPC can install on common residential roofs, subject to structural suitability. We confirm:
• Roof condition and integrity
• Shading and orientation
• Safe access for installation and maintenance
If a roof is unsuitable, ground-mount options may be assessed where space allows.
Timelines depend on system size, wiring complexity, site readiness, and equipment availability. Residential installations are typically quicker than commercial/industrial, but we still apply a structured process: intake → assessment → design → installation → commissioning → handover.
• OEM warranties apply to major components (modules, inverters, batteries) based on manufacturer terms.
• URPC provides workmanship and commissioning governance as defined in the project contract, plus long-term support under an O&M agreement where contracted.
Yes, We offer structured O&M options including:
• Performance checks and preventive maintenance
• PV cleaning cadence aligned to local conditions
• Fault response under an SLA
• Warranty claim support with OEMs
For financed systems, O&M is typically mandatory for the tenor.
URPC works with financing partners (including green financing pathways and partner banks) to expand access to home solar. Initial screening may request basic information such as home ownership status and affordability indicators, then refined during assessment.
Typical outputs include:
• Estimated monthly energy consumption and bill range
• Estimated PV and battery sizing options (with/without battery)
• Indicative installed cost bands
• Indicative financing structures (customer contribution + instalment ranges)
• estimated payback period and lifetime savings
All outputs are indicative until site verification.
URPC will:
• Retain your partial submission (even if incomplete)
• Trigger follow-up prompts to complete missing fields
• Schedule a call/site visit through our team
• Progress to a concept proposal and implementation pathway
