Your location says you are in India, so I have absolutely no idea who to contact over there. My first thought is to hunt down someone with a Ph.D. in HVAC (refrigeration engineering) and see if they know someone who does residential work.

Yes, I have been told to carry out the process. I have also been told that apart from saving on my electricity bills, I can sell the electricity if feasible. If that can cover my costs on setting up the solar panels and give me good returns, I might as well should go ahead with it.
