Brands we supply & install
Compare solar panel brands, then choose what fits you
Minoli Energy is a multi-brand installer. We are not tied to one manufacturer, so we can recommend the panel that fits your roof, your budget and your subsidy eligibility.
Your roof: space, shade and direction decide which panel type makes sense.
Your budget: we explain the price difference between options before you decide.
Your subsidy: if you want the PM Surya Ghar subsidy, we only suggest DCR panels.
Brand comparison
We only show details we have confirmed for the panels we supply. Where a detail is not confirmed yet, ask us and we will check the current datasheet for you.

DCR vs non-DCR: which one gets the subsidy?
This is the most important choice if you want the home solar subsidy.
DCR panels
DCR means Domestic Content Requirement. The solar cells and the panel are both made in India, and the model is listed in the government's ALMM list.
Needed for the PM Surya Ghar residential subsidy.
Non-DCR panels
The cells are usually imported, so the panel does not meet the domestic content rule. These panels can cost less.
Not eligible for the PM Surya Ghar residential subsidy.
Simple rule: if you want the home subsidy, choose DCR panels. If you are not claiming the subsidy, non-DCR panels can be a good lower-cost option. We tell you clearly which type is in your quote.
Subsidy rules can change. Check the latest rules on the official PM Surya Ghar portal: pmsuryaghar.gov.in
How to choose a solar panel brand
Use this checklist when you compare quotes, from us or anyone else.
DCR status, if you want the subsidy
For the PM Surya Ghar home subsidy, make sure the quote says DCR panels.
ALMM listing
Check that the exact panel model is on the government ALMM list.
Warranty terms
Read both warranties: the product warranty and the power output warranty. Ask who handles claims.
Your budget
Compare the total price for the full system, not only the panel price.
Roof space and shade
On a small roof, higher-wattage panels can fit more power in the same space.
After-sales support
Ask who you call if something goes wrong, and how fast they respond in Coimbatore.
Frequently asked questions
Which solar panel brand is the best?
There is no single best brand for everyone. The right panel depends on your roof space, shade, budget and whether you want the subsidy.
We supply & install more than one brand, so we can compare options for your home and explain the difference.
Does the brand affect my PM Surya Ghar subsidy?
The brand name alone does not decide it. What matters is the panel type: for the residential PM Surya Ghar subsidy, the panels must be DCR panels with domestic cells and an ALMM-listed model.
The same brand can sell both DCR and non-DCR panels, so always check the exact model in your quote.
Can I mix brands in one solar system?
We do not recommend mixing different panel brands or models on the same string, because small differences in output can reduce the performance of the whole string.
The inverter can be from a different brand than the panels. That is normal.
Why don't you show a price for each brand?
Panel prices change often, and the final price depends on system size, roof type and structure. We only show a price range when we can stand behind it. Otherwise, ask us for a free quote.
Does the manufacturer recommend Minoli Energy?
No. We supply & install these brands, but listing a brand does not mean the manufacturer endorses us. The product warranty comes from the manufacturer under its own terms.
Are DCR panels worse than non-DCR panels?
Not necessarily. DCR only tells you where the cells were made. Quality depends on the specific model, so compare the datasheet, warranty and ALMM listing.
Trademarks and specifications
All brand names, logos and trademarks belong to their respective owners. Listing a brand here does not mean the manufacturer endorses Minoli Energy.
Specifications, warranties and prices change over time. Always check the manufacturer's current datasheet before you buy.
