How One Family in Gwalior Cut Bills by 90%

This is the story of the Mishra family, a typical middle-class household in Gwalior, who made a life-changing decision to go solar with Starman Solar. In just a few months, they reduced their power bills by 90%, increased property value, and contributed to a greener planet.

🏡 Meet the Mishra Family

Dr. Rajeev Mishra, a retired school principal, lives with his wife Sunita and their two sons in a 2-story home in the Morar area of Gwalior. With rising electricity bills—averaging ₹6,000 per month—the family was eager to find a long-term solution.

After doing their research and reading reviews, they contacted Starman Solar, one of the most trusted solar companies in Gwalior. What followed was a smooth journey into clean, affordable, and renewable energy.

🔋 The Switch to Solar

Starman Solar conducted a free site inspection and energy audit of the Mishra home. Based on their consumption, a 5 kW rooftop solar system was recommended.

Here’s how it worked:

• ✅ Installation Time: 4 days
• ✅ Cost: ₹3.25 lakh (after subsidy)
• ✅ Savings: 90% reduction in bills
• ✅ Warranty: 25 years on panels

With financing options and government subsidies, the family paid only ₹25,000 upfront and opted for monthly EMI of ₹4,500.
