Once you register on the portal, you must pick a vendor, and the portal shows a list. For many households this is the hardest decision in the process. This guide to PM Surya Ghar vendor selection in Raipur explains how to use the list, what to compare and which red flags to respect.

Quick answer: shortlist two or three registered vendors, visit offices, compare written quotations for named equipment, workmanship warranty and paperwork scope, and choose on engineering and service before price.

Using the Portal List

  1. Log in and open the vendor list.
  2. Filter by Chhattisgarh and your district.
  3. Note names, contact details and any ratings or details shown.
  4. Search for each vendor independently and read what customers say.

Red Flags

  • Asks for the subsidy amount or a release fee.
  • Will not name equipment.
  • Refuses to put paperwork scope in writing.
  • Pressures you with a deadline.
  • No visitable office.

What a Good Vendor Does

  • Surveys the roof and reads twelve months of bills.
  • Designs to your consumption and sanctioned load.
  • Uploads installation details and follows up with CSPDCL.
  • Keeps you informed at each portal stage.
  • Provides a commissioning report and warranty papers.

A Worked Example: Choosing Between Three Vendors

A homeowner in Raipur shortlists three registered vendors. Vendor A quotes Rs 1.78 lakh, names modules and inverter, includes earthing, offers a two-year workmanship warranty and describes each portal step it will handle. Vendor B quotes Rs 1.55 lakh but writes only "premium panels" and says paperwork is "extra". Vendor C quotes Rs 1.70 lakh, names equipment, but offers no workmanship warranty. On the comparison table, A scores best. The homeowner chooses A, pays by milestones and receives a commissioning report with earth-resistance values. B and C might have been fine, but A made every promise checkable.

Visit Before You Decide

  • Visit the office during working hours and see who is there.
  • Ask to see a completed installation in your area.
  • Speak to a customer without the vendor present.
  • Ask how they handle a fault call and how fast.

After You Choose

Confirm your choice on the portal, sign a written agreement, pay the first milestone and ask for the survey date. Keep a copy of everything. If anything feels wrong at this stage, pause: it is much easier to change course before you have paid for materials.
