Commercial & Industrial Solar EPC

Reduce your commercial electricity OPEX with solar

Solar EPC for factories, warehouses and large electricity consumers — feasibility, engineering, DISCOM & CEIG approvals and turnkey execution under one accountable contract. If your facility pays ₹1 lakh+ a month for power, your roof is an unbuilt asset.

The problem

Industrial power is your fastest-rising fixed cost

Most industrial connections in Punjab, Haryana, Delhi NCR and UP pay ₹7–11 per unit once demand charges, fuel surcharges and time-of-day tariffs are counted — and tariffs move in one direction. A factory running a ₹5 lakh monthly bill spends ₹6 crore over ten years on electricity, most of it consumed in daylight hours when solar generates.

Rooftop solar converts that recurring OPEX into a one-time, depreciable asset you own. Typical C&I economics we engineer against: generation cost from your own roof in the ₹2.5–3.5/unit range over the plant's life, against a grid price of ₹7–11 — with payback commonly in 3–5 years and 25-year module warranties behind it.

Honest engineering

Why we won't promise you a number today

Any EPC quoting savings before seeing your bills is guessing. Real economics depend on your tariff structure, daytime load share, roof condition and your DISCOM's net-metering rules — and North India adds a fog-season generation dip that honest models must include. We publish why industrial solar underperforms and what a real performance guarantee covers precisely because inflated projections are this industry's core disease.

Commercial solar plant sizes at a glance

Indicative figures at ~120 units/kW/month — the northern band; select your region in the solar calculator for Rajasthan, Gujarat, the South, East or North East — and current C&I EPC benchmarks. Final sizing needs a bill analysis and site survey.

The Secured Engineers method

From electricity bill to commissioned plant

1

Bill & load analysis

12 months of electricity bills, tariff structure, sanctioned load and daytime consumption profile — solar is sized to what you actually use, not what the roof can hold.

2

Site, structural & shadow survey

Roof structural adequacy, shading study and usable-area mapping. Old sheds get a structural verdict before a single panel is priced.

3

Engineering design

String sizing, DC/AC ratio, inverter selection, earthing and lightning protection, and grid-protection design your electrical inspector will actually pass.

4

Approvals — in parallel

Net-metering / open-access application, CEIG approval and DISCOM coordination filed alongside procurement, not after installation. Approvals are our core competence across MEPF.

5

Procurement & execution

ALMM-listed Tier-1 modules, named-brand inverters, in-house installation teams — the same teams that build our fire and electrical packages, under one project head.

6

Commissioning, net-metering & O&M

Synchronisation, meter installation, performance ratio verification at handover, and optional AMC with generation monitoring thereafter.

Why one contractor matters: we also build electrical substations, fire systems and HT/LT infrastructure — so solar integration, grid protection and CEIG approval are engineered by the team that does this for entire factories, not bolted on by a panel installer.

Straight answers

Commercial solar questions, answered by engineers

What payback period can a commercial or industrial solar plant realistically achieve?

Most C&I rooftop projects we engineer land in a 3–5 year payback band. Where you fall in that band depends on your tariff (₹7–11/unit for most industrial connections), how much of the generation you consume on-site, roof condition and DISCOM policy. Payback is a calculation, not a promise — run your numbers in our solar calculator, then let us verify them against 12 months of your electricity bills.

How much roof area does a commercial solar plant need?

Plan around 100 sq.ft of shadow-free roof per kW as a working figure — so roughly 10,000 sq.ft for 100 kW and about an acre of roof for 1 MW. Actual density depends on roof type, orientation and walkway/maintenance clearances. We confirm usable area with a structural and shadow survey before any design is priced.

Do you handle net metering and DISCOM approvals?

Yes — in-house, not through a liaison agent. Net-metering or open-access applications, load sanction checks, CEIG chartered-electrical-inspector approval and synchronisation with the DISCOM are part of our EPC scope. Approval timelines vary by state and DISCOM, which is why we file them in parallel with procurement instead of after installation.

Net metering, captive or open access — which is right for my facility?

It depends on your sanctioned load, state policy and consumption profile. Rooftop net metering suits most factories consuming their own generation. Above ~1 MW of demand, third-party or captive open-access solar can beat rooftop economics in some states. We model both against your bills before recommending either.

What size solar plant does my factory need?

Size to your daytime base load, not your roof. A plant sized purely to fill the roof can overshoot what net-metering rules or your consumption can absorb, stretching payback. We size against 12 months of consumption data, your sanctioned load and your DISCOM's banking rules — the same method covered in our sizing guides.

Do you provide O&M after commissioning?

Yes. Generation monitoring, scheduled cleaning regimes, inverter and string-level fault attendance, and annual performance reporting are available under AMC. A solar plant that isn't monitored quietly underperforms — module soiling and single-string faults routinely go unnoticed for months without it.

What would solar actually save you?

Three inputs. Your numbers appear before we ask for anything.

  3. 3 Full report
Roof type
CAPEX or OPEX

Two ways to own it — and the one that suits you is a finance question, not a solar one

The engineering is identical. What changes is who puts up the capital, who carries the O&M, and who keeps the savings.

CAPEX

You own the plant

You fund it, you own the asset, and every rupee it saves stays with you.

Depreciation
Accelerated depreciation at 40% WDV in year one. On a typical corporate tax rate that is roughly 10–12% of project cost back as a year-one tax saving — confirm your own position with your CA.
Savings
You keep 100% of the generation. Nothing is shared with a developer.
Payback
Typically 3–6 years for C&I rooftop at a healthy tariff. Yours depends on your blended tariff, region and roof — the calculator gives your number, not an average.
Asset
A 25-year asset on your balance sheet, with the loan (if any) usually clear inside 5–7.

Trade-off: You fund the capital and carry the O&M.

Compare on lifetime rupees
OPEX / PPA

You buy the output

A developer builds and owns the plant on your roof. You buy the units it makes.

Capital
No upfront investment. The plant does not sit on your balance sheet.
Tariff
A per-unit rate agreed in the contract, normally below your current DISCOM tariff. Check the escalation clause — it decides the deal.
Risk
Performance and O&M sit with the developer for the contract term.
End of term
Read the transfer clause carefully. Some contracts hand you the asset; others do not.

Trade-off: Smaller saving, and over 25 years usually more total cost than owning.

Figures above are indicative and depend on your tariff, region, roof and tax position. Tax treatment changes — confirm depreciation and input-credit specifics with your CA before you commit. We put the assumptions on screen rather than in a footnote.

Statutory approvals

100% DISCOM Net-Metering & CEIG Approvals Handled In-House — Zero Bureaucracy for You.

Approvals are our core trade as an MEPF contractor — not something we sub out to a consultant and hope for. You sign, we file, we follow up.

  1. 1

    Feasibility & application

    Load study, single-line diagram and the net-metering application prepared and filed.

  2. 2

    CEIG / Electrical Inspector

    Drawings, test reports and the inspection itself — coordinated and attended by our team.

  3. 3

    Synchronisation & meter

    Bi-directional meter, DISCOM sign-off and grid synchronisation, through to commissioning.
