FAQ

SOLAR QUESTIONS.
STRAIGHT ANSWERS.

Engineer answers on system selection, installation, connection, backup power and warranty terms.

PROPOSAL AND ECONOMICS

How much do solar panels cost in Uzbekistan?
No public prices are shown on the site. The proposal is defined by consumption, system type, roof or land, cable routes, connection and backup loads. DETOS prepares an equipment and work specification for the specific site.
What is the payback period for solar panels in Uzbekistan?
Payback is not published as a universal period. It depends on actual consumption, daytime load, system type, generation, export mode and current rules. Every assumption is shown separately in the individual calculation.
Are there government subsidies for solar panels in Uzbekistan?
Support programs, tax conditions and export rules change. Before a decision, DETOS checks the applicable conditions against current official sources and the applicant’s status.

INSTALLATION & CONNECTION

How to connect solar panels to the grid in Uzbekistan?
Typical timelines: Design and approvals — 2–4 weeks. Installation: residential (5–10 kW) — 2–3 days, commercial (30–100 kW) — 1–3 weeks, industrial (100+ kW) — 3–8 weeks. Full cycle from site assessment to connection: 4–8 weeks. DETOS provides a detailed project schedule at the proposal stage.
How long does solar panel installation take?
Most roof types are suitable: flat, pitched, metal tile, slate, corrugated sheet. Optimal orientation is south-facing with a tilt angle of 25–35° for Uzbekistan. East-west configurations also work with ~85% efficiency. If the roof is unsuitable, ground-mounted systems are available. DETOS conducts a free site survey to assess your roof and provide options.
What roof type is suitable for solar panels?
Yes, with the property owner’s consent. A popular solution for businesses in rented premises: the solar system reduces operational electricity costs. Equipment can be dismantled when the lease ends. DETOS advises on the legal aspects and helps coordinate installation approval with the landlord.
Can solar panels be installed on a rented property?
Yes, with the property owner’s consent. A popular solution for rented business premises: a solar station reduces electricity operating costs. At the end of the lease, the equipment can be removed. DETOS advises on legal aspects and helps coordinate installation with the landlord.

EQUIPMENT & TECHNOLOGY

Which solar panels are best for Uzbekistan’s climate?
The panel is selected from project parameters and supply documents. The LONGi Hi-MO X10 family uses HPBC 2.0 technology; exact power, efficiency, temperature parameters and warranty depend on the model.
What warranty applies to solar panels and equipment?
Warranties vary by selected model and work type. The proposal and contract separately define manufacturer documents, mounting-element warranty and DETOS obligations for completed work.
Do solar panels need maintenance?
Yes. Inspection and cleaning intervals depend on dust, rainfall, installation angle and site conditions. Monitoring and service are provided to the scope stated in the configuration and contract.
Do solar panels work in winter and cloudy weather?
Panels: 30+ years (LONGi guarantees 87.4% output at year 30). Inverter: 10–15 years (one mid-life replacement factored into our payback calculation). Mounting structures: 25+ years. Dyness batteries: 10–15 years (6,000+ cycles). Total system design life: 30 years. After 30 years, panels still produce ~80% of their original output — they don’t suddenly stop working.
What is the lifespan of a solar power system?
System size is matched to your consumption. Average home (500–800 kWh/month) → 5–8 kW (~12–13 panels). Small business (1,000–3,000 kWh/month) → 10–20 kW. Commercial facility → 30–100+ kW. Use our calculator for an instant estimate based on your monthly electricity bill. Then request a free site survey for a precise, obligation-free proposal.

SYSTEM DESIGN & CHOICE

How do I determine the right system size for my needs?
It depends on system type. On-grid: no batteries needed — excess energy is sold to the grid at the feed-in tariff. This is the lowest-cost option. Hybrid: batteries provide backup during outages. Recommended for businesses where downtime costs money. Off-grid: batteries are mandatory — the system is your only power source. DETOS installs Dyness LiFePO4 batteries, scalable from 5 kWh to 100+ kWh.
Do I need batteries for my solar system?
On-grid is more economical where grid access is stable: lower upfront cost (no batteries), payback in 4–7 years. Off-grid costs 40–60% more but is essential where there is no grid connection. Hybrid is the middle ground: backup during outages at moderate extra cost. 80% of DETOS clients choose on-grid. The right choice depends on your location, grid reliability, and budget.
How does the feed-in tariff (green tariff) work in Uzbekistan?
Excess energy from an on-grid solar station may be exported when current requirements are met. Rules, contracts, metering and connection procedures must be checked for the specific site against current official sources.
Which is better: on-grid or off-grid solar system?
An on-grid system suits a stable grid where backup is not required. Hybrid adds batteries and backup logic. Off-grid is designed for sites without a permanent grid. The choice depends on load, grid reliability and required autonomy.

DETOS & CERTIFICATION

What is ETL Certificate ML.2001 and why does it matter?
ETL (Electrical Technical Laboratory) is a state license issued by Uzbekistan’s Technical Regulation Agency. Certificate ML.2001 confirms DETOS’s accredited right to measure insulation resistance, verify grounding, test contact connections, and test transformer substations up to 10 kV. Valid until July 30, 2027. Verify at www.approval.depstan.uz. This is DETOS’s key difference: we do not just install — we test and certify.
Why choose DETOS over another solar company?
DETOS manages the project from survey and calculation through installation, commissioning and agreed documentation. Responsibility is defined in one contract; electrical measurements stay within the ML.2001 scope.
