How to reduce electricity bill: Think Solar, Not Sleeping on the Roof!

“We Already Have a Power Plant in the Sky”: Why Solar is the Smart Choice for Telugu States

“We have this handy fusion reactor in the sky called the sun; you don’t have to do anything, it just works. It shows up every day.”
— Elon Musk

Imagine this: it’s a hot summer evening in Hyderabad or Vijayawada. The ceiling fans are barely helping, and you’ve asked your family to avoid switching on the AC just to keep the electricity bill from spiking. Someone even suggests sleeping on the terrace to beat the heat. Sounds familiar?

Many families across Telangana and Andhra Pradesh go through this struggle during peak summer months. And every time the monthly electricity bill arrives, it brings the same question: “How do we cut down on power costs without compromising comfort?”

Well, there’s a better answer than sacrificing your AC or suffering through power-saving hacks.

Install rooftop solar.
Yes, it’s that simple.

Let’s break down why this is the smarter — and more sustainable — way to reduce your electricity bill.

Common Myths About Saving Electricity (And What Actually Works)

“The sun — that power plant in the sky — bathes Earth in ample energy to fulfill all the world’s power needs many times over. It doesn’t give off carbon dioxide emissions. It won’t run out. And it’s free.”
— Jamais Cascio

People in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh have tried all kinds of tactics to cut electricity costs — some logical, others more desperate. Here’s a quick reality check:

Electricity Tariffs Are Rising Fast — Even in Telangana & Andhra Pradesh

You might already know how to save a few hundred rupees on your monthly bill. But what if we told you that in the near future, saving on electricity won’t just be an option — it’ll be a necessity?

While some states like Maharashtra and Uttar Pradesh are already seeing steep tariff hikes (as much as 31%), Telangana and Andhra Pradesh are not far behind. Reports suggest that tariffs could see a gradual increase in the coming years, especially as demand for electricity continues to rise with urban growth and rural electrification.

So how do you stay ahead of the curve?
By investing in solar now.

Solar Power = Real Savings Every Month

Let’s get into the numbers.

If your household consumes around 600 units per month, and you’re paying approximately ₹8 per unit, your monthly bill could be ₹4,800 or more. But if you install a 5kW rooftop solar system, you can generate around 550–600 units per month — effectively reducing your bill by 90% or more.

Here’s What Solar Savings Look Like:

Note: These figures are indicative. Actual savings depend on factors like rooftop size, location, shading, and local weather conditions. For accurate recommendations, book a free rooftop inspection with Unilux Solar.

Government Subsidies & Financing: Solar is More Affordable Than You Think

One of the most common concerns we hear is — “Is solar too expensive?”
And the honest answer is — No, not at all.

In fact, solar is one of the smartest investments you can make today. While gold and mutual funds may give you 8–12% returns, solar gives you 20–25% ROI, year after year, for up to 25 years or more.

Even better:

1. Central government subsidies are available for residential rooftop systems.
2. Telangana and Andhra Pradesh DISCOMs often partner in these subsidy programs.
