Commercial & Industrial Solar
Commercial and industrial solar means installing large-scale solar systems — usually on factory roofs, warehouse sheds, office buildings or open land — to power business operations directly. Since most businesses consume the bulk of their electricity during the day, solar lines up perfectly with when panels generate the most power, often cutting energy costs dramatically.
How it works for a business
Panels generate power all day
Large rooftop or ground-mounted arrays generate electricity throughout business hours, matching your peak operational load.
Inverters scale to your load
Industrial-grade string or central inverters convert the DC output into AC electricity sized to match high daytime power draw.
Your facility draws from solar first
Machinery, HVAC, lighting and equipment use the solar power generated on-site before pulling from the grid, cutting your bill in real time.
Surplus is credited or exported
Extra generation is exported to the grid under net metering, or, for larger loads, wheeled to other group locations under open access.
Which model fits your business?
Larger loads open up financing options homes don't have.
Rooftop CAPEX
You own the asset
You invest upfront and own the system outright — maximum long-term savings and eligibility for accelerated depreciation tax benefits.
RESCO / OPEX
Zero upfront cost
A solar developer installs and owns the system on your roof; you simply buy the power generated at a fixed, discounted rate per unit.
Open Access / Group Captive
For very large loads
High-consumption businesses can source power from a solar plant elsewhere via the grid, often at a lower tariff than the local utility.
Why businesses are going solar
Slash operational electricity costs — often the single largest recurring overhead for manufacturing and commercial sites.
Claim accelerated depreciation (up to 40% in year one under Indian tax law) if you own the system, improving ROI significantly.
Strengthen ESG credentials and meet sustainability targets that customers, investors and regulators increasingly expect.
Hedge against rising and volatile grid tariffs with predictable, fixed-cost power for 25+ years.
Boost brand reputation as a business investing in clean, future-ready infrastructure.
From energy audit to commissioning
Energy audit & feasibility study
We analyze your load profile, roof or land availability, and shading to size the right system.
Engineering & financial design
Our team designs the plant and models your payback period under CAPEX, RESCO or open-access structures.
Approvals & documentation
We manage DISCOM net-metering, structural, and (where applicable) open-access approvals on your behalf.
Installation with zero downtime
Installation is scheduled and sequenced to avoid disrupting your day-to-day operations.
Commissioning & performance monitoring
The plant is tested, commissioned, and connected to a monitoring dashboard so you can track generation and savings in real time.
Common questions
Most commercial and industrial sites see 30–60% reductions in their electricity bill, depending on system size relative to consumption.
No — installation happens on the roof or unused land and is scheduled around your working hours, with no need to shut down operations.
CAPEX means you own the system and get the full long-term savings plus tax benefits; RESCO means zero upfront cost but you pay a fixed per-unit rate to a third-party owner instead.
Yes — net metering (and open access, if applicable) requires DISCOM approval, which we handle end-to-end as part of our service.
