Why businesses in Indore go solar
- Higher tariffs, faster payback. Commercial and industrial energy rates are higher than domestic ones, so each solar unit is worth more.
- Daytime load. Offices, factories, schools and hospitals consume most power when the sun is up — nearly every unit is used on site.
- Predictable costs. Solar fixes the cost of a large share of your electricity for 25 years.
- Tax efficiency. Profitable businesses may claim accelerated depreciation on solar assets (confirm with your CA).
What drives commercial ROI
| Factor | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Share of generation used on site | Self-consumed units save the full tariff; surplus earns less |
| Energy rate (₹/unit) | Higher rate → faster payback |
| Roof type and condition | Affects structure cost and design |
| Shift pattern | Day shifts match solar best |
| Contract demand | Demand charges depend on your peak, not just energy |
Roof types
| Roof | How we mount |
|---|---|
| RCC | Anchored or ballasted structures, walkways for cleaning |
| Metal sheet | Rails or short tilt legs fixed into purlins |
| Asbestos cement | Independent structure — sheets are never drilled |
| Open land / parking | Ground-mount or carport structures |
