For your business
Rooftops that are inspected, not just installed
1,771 kW delivered across 12 industrial and commercial sites, plus rooftops for ISRO Sriharikota and the Indian Army MEG Centre. Sites where the work is checked properly and a failure is not a customer-service issue.
Segments
Three very different problems
Industrial
Factories, mills and process plants. High tariffs and a daytime load profile make these the strongest economics in solar, almost nothing is exported.
MoreCommercial
Offices, retail, warehousing. Weekday load lines up with generation, and the roof is dead capital anyway.
MoreHousing societies
Lifts, pumps and common lighting on a commercial tariff. The one business case with a subsidy.
MoreWhy the economics differ
Business solar is a better deal than home solar
Despite getting no subsidy at all. Three reasons, and they compound.
01
You pay a higher tariff
Commercial rates sit well above domestic. Every unit you displace is worth more.
02
Your load runs in daylight
A process load runs while the sun does. Almost nothing is exported.
03
Depreciation improves the return
Solar usually attracts accelerated depreciation. Check the detail with your accountant.
Process
From load study to monitoring
- 01
Load study and site assessment
Week 1
Twelve months of bills against your tariff, then roof area, structure and shading.
- 02
Design and technical proposal
1–2 weeks
Layout, structural calculations, generation estimate, and a line-by-line proposal.
- 03
Approvals and sanction
3–8 weeks
DISCOM sanction, electrical inspectorate approval, and any site clearances.
- 04
Supply and installation
2–8 weeks
Phased around production. Only the final connection needs a shutdown.
- 05
Testing and commissioning
1–2 weeks
String testing, protection, metering, and as-built documentation.
- 06
Monitoring and O&M
Ongoing
String-level monitoring, so a fault shows up in days, not at the next bill.
Questions people ask
What payback should a factory expect?
Three to five years, before depreciation. Commercial tariffs are higher, and a process load runs while the sun does, so almost nothing is exported.
Is there a subsidy for commercial installations?
No. PM Surya Ghar is residential only, with a separate provision for housing society common facilities. Commercial and industrial projects stand on their own economics, which for a high-tariff daytime load is usually the stronger case anyway.
Can we claim accelerated depreciation?
Businesses can generally claim accelerated depreciation on solar assets, which materially improves the post-tax return. The exact rate and treatment depend on your tax position, so confirm the specifics with your accountant — we will provide whatever asset documentation they need.
Will installation disrupt production?
Rarely. Structure and panel work happens above a running facility; only the final electrical connection needs a planned shutdown, usually a few hours scheduled around your production calendar. We have done this over working spinning mills in Palladam and Rajapalayam.
Do you handle CEIG approval and statutory clearances?
Yes. Electrical inspectorate approval, DISCOM sanction and commissioning formalities are part of the scope. For larger installations we also provide FRP walkways and handrails so the array can be maintained safely and compliantly.

That and a roof plan is enough for a first-pass sizing. If it does not stack up, we will say so.
