Why businesses switch

The commercial case for solar.

Commercial tariffs are high

Every unit you make on the roof replaces a unit bought at your commercial rate, so savings add up quickly.

Your load peaks in daylight

Hotels, showrooms, hospitals, schools and offices use most power between 9 am and 5 pm, exactly when solar produces.

Diesel for backup

A hybrid design can take over part of the backup job from a DG set and cut fuel spend.

Predictable costs

Once built, a solar plant produces a large share of your energy at a known cost for the life of the plant, so tariff increases matter less.

What we look at

Designed around your building.

  • Twelve months of bills, to size the plant to the units you actually use
  • Your sanctioned load and the net-metering rules that apply to it
  • Roof type and strength: RCC, metal sheet, or an elevated structure over a terrace
  • Safe access for cleaning, with walkways on larger sheet roofs
  • Whether critical loads need battery backup

Paying for it

Financing notes.

Commercial systems do not get the PM Surya Ghar subsidy. They pay back through lower bills, and businesses may also claim accelerated depreciation on the plant. Your chartered accountant can confirm what applies to you.

Questions

Commercial solar FAQs.

Will solar make my electricity bill zero?

Usually not, and you should be wary of anyone who promises it. A well-sized on-grid system can cover most of the units you use, but fixed charges, taxes and night-time or monsoon consumption still appear on your bill. What changes is that the energy part of your bill drops sharply for 25 years or more.

Will solar work during a power cut?

A standard on-grid system switches off when the grid fails. This is a safety requirement, so linemen are not hurt by power flowing back into the network. If you need backup, choose an integrated hybrid or modular hybrid system, which add batteries, or an off-grid system.

What is net metering and who applies for it?

A net meter records the units you draw from the grid and the surplus solar units you send back, and your electricity supply company (CESC in Mysuru) bills you for the difference. We prepare and follow up the application and meter change for you as part of the project.

Can businesses and factories get a subsidy?

The PM Surya Ghar subsidy is only for homes and housing societies. Businesses usually benefit instead through tax: solar plants have qualified for accelerated depreciation of 40% in the first year under the Income-tax Rules. Please confirm the rate for your assessment year with your chartered accountant.

How much maintenance does a solar system need?

Very little. Panels need regular cleaning with water (dust reduces output), and the inverter, wiring and earthing should be checked periodically. We offer annual maintenance contracts that cover cleaning, performance checks, fault diagnosis and repairs.
