Most affordable Solar is here. Now get free electricity for 21 years from the free sun for your Commercial or Industrial (C&I) operations. Sun has been free for long, now get electricity from sun also at an unbelievable cost as low as 0.22 Rs/unit, post payment of lease. We have a tie up with 9 billion $ business group for investment in solar projects. Here is how you can get this.

Almost all states in India allow you to own On Site solar or Roof Top Solar under the self ownership or CAPEX model, allowing you to reduce your electricity bill under a net metering policy. Allowable solar power plant capacity may go up to 100% of your sanctioned load, what is new is an affordable financing option, where in you could get 80% of the project financed under a lease or loan, leaving just 20% to be (equity) financed by you. Your initial investment may drop to ~7,788 Rs/kW or lower making ownership of a quality solar plant so affordable and simple.

No Collateral Needed : Since the asset is owned by the rental or solar leasing company, there is no collateral needed to be hypothecated, no need for plant, machinery or land hypothecation, and solar power plant / asset is easily transferred to the consumer for a nominal price of Rs 1 at the end of the loan tenure of typically 4 years. Most affordable solar is here. There is no need for high credit rating of AA or AAA from CRISIL or CARE to avail lease offers, 25kW to 500kW.

Banking & Netting of Energy Generated : This a frequent question as to where will your energy generated go in case of net metering. State Electricity Board or DISCOM or Grid in your place of factory or business operations is where all your energy goes or injected in to under the net metering policy. Good Net Metering policy is available in states of Gujarat, Maharashtra, Rajasthan, Kerala, Madhya Pradesh, Punjab, Karnataka, Haryana etc particularly if you own the Solar Power plant under a CAPEX or Lease option. All the energy generated by your solar power plant during day time could be used by you any time of the day, month of the year without having to pay any banking charges for (surplus energy) in the Rooftop CAPEX model. However your day time usage will first get offset by units you generate, after that other TOD usage will get offset. Units generated by you are reduced from your bill on the month to month basis. Rules vary for OPEX/ BOOT / RESCO and some state policies do not approve of or discourage OPEX/ BOOT / RESCO models of ownership for some categories of consumers. Since States Solar Regulations keep changing it may be best to consider the latest developments in your state.

As an owner of an Industry, Educational Institution, Health Care Business, Food Processing Industry, Dairy or any other energy intensive Industry like Plastics, Textiles, Paper, Steel etc., it is very likely that you are still paying high bills and carrying the burden of cross subsidising free electricity to farmers etc.; time has come to start generating your own electricity (from sun) by replacing electricity from DISCOM ( Distributor Companies)/ SEB ( State Electricity Board) by Solar.

Solar Better Than Gold : Considering prevailing state regulations, mature solar technology, long term paris commitment by India, it is very likely that Rooftop Solar will see stable policy & avoid a flipflop as was attempted by Maharashtra Regulators . Hence long term 25 years’ returns from Lease/ solar are subtantially better than that from gold , as is being discovered by real C&I clients across Maharashtra, Punjab, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh & Telangana etc. If this looks some what unrealistic, find out your own savings from free electricity for 21 years.

Adopt Solar. Save Bills. Save Planet.

India has 748,000 MWp Solar Potential

Alternative Sources of Energy: Coal and Fossil Fuels like Crude oil are causing Global Warming and unprecedented damage to the planet from irreversible climate change. To slow down climate change, we need to adopt alternative sources of energy in Industries, Offices and Homes. Usage of Wind Energy, Solar Energy, Green Energy from second generation Biofuels and Urban Waste are some of the alternative sources of energy.

Who all could benefit from Solar Energy: Industries, Colleges, Schools, Institutions, Corporate Offices, Banks, Commercial Buildings, Railway stations, Energy Intensive Industries, Clubs, Pharma Companies, Infotech Parks, Cement Sector, Telecom Towers, Home Owners, Off Grid communities - are all going solar across India. All of them could benefit from Solar Power. High rise apartments with very high wind velocities on the terrace may pose difficulties in solar power installations and may not be able to benefit from Solar Energy.

International Solar Alliance: 1000 GW of Solar under ISA: Solar Technology is constantly improving due to ongoing innovations. Solar Technology with Storage is also getting adopted at 300MW Grid Scale and also for transport applications. Government Policies are favourable across the globe for Solar adoption. International Solar Alliance is also created for solving global climate change challenge. 8+ Giga Watt of Solar has been installed by India already, and target is to set 100 GW by 2022. These Solar Power driven changes in the world have the power to completely eliminate usage of coal and save the planet. 1000 Giga Watts of Solar is expected in ISA countries by 2030. Global Solar Grid could power the whole word for 22 hours from Solar Energy. This alliance could solve problem of Global Energy Access and also of Climate Change.

Solar Energy in India: Under JNNURM India has started on the 100GW solar mission, and is making good progress. Various states have issued very aggressive targets for Solar RPO, and giving range of Income Tax & CSR benefits for Solar Energy Investments. This has attracted huge investments in to India for Solar Energy.

Advantages of Solar Energy Rs/sft? Your savings would depend on the bill tariff structure, solar units generated. For example, If you are paying Rs 7/unit of electricity, that is 700 Paise/kwH as Energy Charges to Grid /Distribution Company in your area, you will save Rs 7x 120 = Rs 840 Rs/month per kilo watt of solar power installed. For 1000KW power plant, it would be Rs 840,000/month or Rs 10.08 million/year at the very least. In terms of savings per square foot of idle roof, over life time, savings could be of the order of Rs 1200- 5600 Rs/sft.

Why Solar: Solar Energy is Free, is Renewable, Reduces your Energy Costs and helps you earn from Idle Roof. This also helps you in meeting your responsibility under the Constitution of India and helps save the planet. A well planned solar investment is win win for all stake holders involved. Go Solar Now.

Improving RPO (Renewable Energy Purchase Obligations) Compliance: Distribution companies, Open access consumers and Captive Consumers have the option of purchasing Renewable Power or RECs to meet their Obligations. Alternately they can install a Solar Power Plant. In Operational Expenses (OPEX), Build Own Operate Transfer (BOOT), Solar Power As A Service (SPAAS) models of going solar, you do not earn Renewable Energy Certificate (RECs). The RECs in all such cases belong to the owner of the Solar Power Plant. To improve your compliance to Renewable Purchase Obligation (RPO), Renewable Power Purchase Obligation (RPPO), or Renewable Energy Purchase Obligations (REPO), we recommend you invest fully or partly in the Solar Power Plant. By financing your own Power Plant through debt, you continue to remain the owner fo the asset and earn RECs, improving your compliance to RPO. Because the Sun is Free, and Solar Power Plants are all installed with 25-30 years performance warranty, for every MW installed you can earn as much as 300,000 RECs with a floor price /income of Rs 21 Crores/MW. This is with a realistic scenario or assumption that you are able to sell at-least 20% of Solar RECs generated, earned by you at the floor price of Rs 3500/REC. Alternately this projection also allows for 80% drop in the floor prices of Solar RECs. Thus investing in Solar Power Plant, not only improves your REC compliance but may bring in additional income based on behaviour of Markets for RECs. As an example Orissa Electricity Regulatory Commission has mandated 3% as the Solar Power based procurement for the year 2017-18 for Captive Power Plants. Thus if you are generating 100MW Coal based Captive Power for Production of Steel or Aluminum, you need to produce 3MW from Solar in order to comply with this Orissa Electricity Regulatory Commissions Order.

Finance for Solar Energy: Your benefits and savings are linked to how well is your system financed, besides the quality of the solar panels installed. Lowest investment is in the OPEX, Lease or Boot model, where you only pay for the electricity bills from solar power at rates lower than DISCOM. Entire investment is made by service providers of the Solar System, who will do complete Engineering, Procurement, Commissioning & Maintenance of the Solar Power Plant. They will even transfer the solar power plant in your name after certain period of time. These are generally governed by a long term PPA- Power Purchase Agreement between you and the OPEX service provider. In the second debt/ financing option, you not only get ownership and low cost benefit of the solar power, you also earn RECs. In the best option of your own investment/ equity in to a solar power plant, you not only benefit from low cost of solar energy, you ear RECs, you get CSR benefits and your overall benefits are the highest from solar investment.

Government Subsidy On Solar: has been giving subsidies to encourage solar and meet 100GW target of National Solar Mission. Subsidies are also available from state level Nodal Agencies like MEDA & Ministry of New & Renewable Energy, MNRE, Government of India has been giving subsidies to encourage solar and meet 100GW target of National Solar Mission. Subsidies are also available from state level Nodal Agencies like NREDCAP RRECL . It is a good idea to visit these websites for the latest in subsidy in your area. However as a general rule Government has almost stopped subsides for commercial applications and restricting subsidies to Home and Off Grid applications only.

Solar Panel Price: Solar energy saves money for most consumers as Solar Modules prices have dropped by 99% by so called SWAN effect since 1977. The level of savings varies from state to state, type of mounting & category of the buyer Domestic, Non Domestic, Commercial, Industrial etc. Here through our studies and calculators, for local electrical tariffs, we help you find realistic savings for your usage conditions.

Cost of Solar Energy per unit generated from my roof: Mounting Type , Your Location , Quality of Solar Panels , Long Life Warranties of Solar Panel all influence your cost of electricity generated from Solar Panels. Roof Mounted solutions are cheaper than ground mounted. If you are mounting it on top of parking lot, it might cost you even more. Some locations generate more electricity, as they get more sun for longer periods of the year. Such high solar radiation locations will lead to lower cost of solar energy generated, even though investment may remain same. Also quality of panels matters. As a starting point it is safe to expect that your cost of solar energy will be less than Rs 3.00 per unit, without accounting for any interest and return of equity burden on the investment.

RECs : Will I earn Renewable Energy Certificates As an owner of a Renewable Source of Energy, Solar Energy, you will earn Renewable Energy Certificates if you are the owner of the Solar Power Plant. RECs are traded and are expected to be a source of significant revenues for MW scale power plant owners. Even if you have financed or taken loan for your MW scale power plant, RECs belong to you, which may not be the case in case you lease the system from an IPP, Independent Power Producer.

How do Solar Panel Work: Sun gives us free light. Light is converted in to electricity by Photo Voltaic cells ( PV Cells). This electricity from each cell is added up in a Solar Panel. Electricity from all panels can be added up to power your homes, offices and industries. This electricity which is in the form of Direct Current (DC) is then converted to Alternating Current (AC) using inverters. This than powers your fans, lights, Air conditioners, Geysers, Furnaces, Rolling mills, Medical and Industrial equipment. Even though sunlight looks relatively weak, it gets added up to power and energise entire airports and Industries.

Government Subsidy On Solar: Ministry of New & Renewable Energy, MNRE, Government of India has been giving subsidies to encourage solar and meet 100GW target of National Solar Mission. Subsidies are also available from state level Nodal Agencies like NREDCAP, MEDA & RRECL. It is a good idea to visit these websites for the latest in subsidy in your area. However as a general rule Government has almost stopped subsides for commercial applications and restricting subsidies to Home and Off Grid applications only.

Avoiding Battery Trouble: This is the best way to save our planet from disastrous climate change and save money. The problems of solar wrt battery storage, battery disposal are no more there, as the Grid Interactive systems with Net metering are the norm. Solar Power is generated and used as it is generated in the real time, no storage related cost and environmental damages. Since there are no moving parts 25-30 years life time performance warranties are common. Maintenance is low. This is now convenient and hassle free way to make money from an idle roof. Also leasing is becoming an increasingly popular financing option to reduce your upfront investment.

Area needed for my Home: Roof or floor space needed depends on the kind of technology, kind of mounting, whether you have single axis or two axis rotation of panels, your location etc. Roof or floor space free from shadows throughout the day is very important for good savings, benefits and economics of the solar power plant. 100 -130 square feet is all that you need for installing 1 kilo watt capacity of solar power plant. For 1000 KW you would need ~130,000 square feet of ground or roof space, that is ~3 acres. After providing for service area the area needed may go up to 4.5 acres/MW. However this land required is for standard 15-17% efficient solar panels and will reduce significantly as solar panel efficiency improves worldwide from 17% to 22% to 46% or higher.

Air Conditioners Can Run on Solar Power: Commonly asked question is whether Solar Energy which is at so low voltages and levels, be used for running home appliances including Air Conditioners. A Very definite answer is YES. The inverters used in the Solar Power System converts electricity from DC to AC and runs all home appliances like any other grid power.

Case Study: This is to illustrate the benefits for a Industrial customer like an Individual Home Owner. Infrastructure Company in Hyderabad with 2500KW demand. By going for a Solar Power Plant, this company has a life time savings of Rs 1012 /sft in lease, BOOT, OPEX, SPAAS model as against Rs 5291/sft in CAPEX model where it makes full investment in Solar Power Plant. Payback for the company is less than 1.9 years even when it makes its own full investment. Company also makes a CO2 emissions reduction os 664 lacs Kgs of CO2 inspiring an entire generation towards climate action.
