Buying Solar systems using Quikr

If I relocate to Bangalore (for example - it can be any other place too), how will I ensure that I get the best deal when shopping for solar systems & products?

By using Quikr.

Yes. You thought Quikr was only a classifieds advertising site where you can buy used products and services? No, there are many vendors there who sell new products also. It's easy to search for all types of vendors, products, and services right from the website.

Just type 'solar' in Quikr search, and you'll find a plethora of products related to solar.

Coming back to the topic - if I relocate to Bangalore, how will I use Quikr to get the best deal for solar products/accessories?

Here are some interesting solar-related products/services I have identified in Bangalore, via Quikr:

* 1BHK House with Solar Water Heater: I need a house for rent, and I need a solar water heater. Why not get both? I searched for 'Solar house with water heater' and I got this house for rent that already has a solar water heater installed.

* Solar Panels: Next I need to buy solar panels. I searched for solar panels and I found this vendor who sells them. I'll identify other vendors too, request them to size up my requirement and suggest the capacity. After evaluating all the solar panel vendors, I'll zero-in on one, and buy solar panels from them.

* Turnkey Solar systems: If I am not in the mood to buy solar panels, inverters, etc. from separate vendors and appoint a system integrated to install everything, I will go with a turnkey solar system provider like this. They supply solar panels, solar inverters, voltage stabilizers, UPS, etc.

* Convert my existing non-solar UPS into Solar UPS: If I already have a UPS, I would prefer to convert that into a Solar UPS instead of buying a new one. Here's one vendor who will help me do just that.

* Solar Lighting Systems: If lights are not already installed in the house or if I need some additional lights, I will prefer to buy LED lights that utilize less power, have long life, lower thermal output, etc. I will buy LED lights from a vendor like this.

* Solar Chargers & Solar Kit: How can I claim to go green if I keep charging my mobile devices using the grid power? I can buy solar mobile charging kit with a small solar panel, chargers, etc. from a vendor like this.

* Solar Water Pump: Water pumps can be operated through solar energy. So why not buy solar water pumps system and use it when I am there? I can buy solar water pumps from a vendor like this.

You'll be amazed at how many sellers (both for new and used solar products) I was able to identify through Quikr. Of course, I need to do proper research and vendor evaluation before I decide to buy products from any of them.

I just typed solar in the Quikr search and was able to identify all the above products within the first two pages. If I search a little more, I am sure I'll find many more solar-related products.

If you live in Bangalore or are planning to move to Bangalore, check out the products and vendors listed in Quikr.
