Design, approvals and execution under one contract — not three vendors and a coordination problem.

What brings most factories and warehouses here

Your tariff keeps climbing and nothing in the budget stops it

Industrial tariffs move in one direction. Solar is the only line in a factory's energy cost you can fix for twenty-five years, which is why it gets board attention that a lighting retrofit never does.

Three vendors, and none of them owns the outcome

A module supplier, an electrical contractor and an approvals consultant means every interface is somebody else's problem. When generation underperforms, you get three explanations and no fix.

Nobody checked whether the roof can carry it

Metal sheet roofs vary enormously in purlin spacing and residual capacity. A capacity quoted before the structural check is a guess, and correcting it after procurement is expensive.

The approvals turn out to be somebody else's job

Net metering and CEIG are frequently excluded from the quote in a line nobody reads. The plant then sits commissioned but unsynchronised while the paperwork is sorted out.

What would solar actually save you?

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

  1. 1 Your site
  2. 2 Your numbers
  3. 3 Full report
Roof type

Why the cheapest solar quote usually is not

We are not the lowest number you will be shown, and this is where the difference sits. Every item below is something we have been called in to correct on somebody else's installation.

  1. Capacity sized to the roof, not the load

    A bigger number reads better on a quote. But generation you cannot consume — and cannot export under your net-metering cap — earns nothing. Sizing follows your consumption pattern and sanctioned load, or it is decoration.

  2. Structure priced for a flat roof

    Mounting on an industrial shed carries wind and dead load into a structure that was designed for neither. The cheap quote assumes standard purlins and discovers otherwise on site.

  3. Approvals excluded in a footnote

    Read what the quote actually includes. Net metering, CEIG and DISCOM liaison are real work with real timelines, and if they are not in the scope they become yours.

  4. No shading study

    Chimneys, water tanks, adjacent blocks and inter-row spacing all cost generation. A yield figure produced without a shading analysis is arithmetic, not engineering.

  5. Electrical integration treated as an afterthought

    Solar has to land in an existing LT or HT system alongside DG, and the protection scheme has to work for both. This is where solar-only installers run out of depth — and where an MEPF contractor is doing familiar work.

From your electricity bill to a commissioned plant

  1. 1

    Electricity bill and load analysis

    We start from twelve months of bills, your sanctioned load and your shift pattern — not a per-sq-ft rule of thumb. This decides capacity before anything else is discussed.

  2. 2

    Site survey, structural and shading assessment

    Roof condition, purlin spacing and residual capacity; obstructions and inter-row shading. This is what turns an indicative number into an engineered one.

  3. 3

    Feasibility and financial model

    Capacity, generation estimate, CAPEX versus OPEX comparison and payback — with the assumptions stated so your CFO can challenge them.

  4. 4

    Design and electrical integration

    Array layout, string design, inverter selection, LT/HT integration, protection scheme and DG coordination.

  5. 5

    Approvals — filed by us

    Net-metering application, DISCOM technical feasibility, CEIG approval. In-house, because approvals are our core trade.

  6. 6

    Supply, installation and testing

    Procurement against specification, mounting, DC and AC works, earthing and lightning protection, then testing.

  7. 7

    Synchronisation and commissioning

    Bi-directional meter, DISCOM synchronisation, performance verification and handover documentation.

  8. 8

    Monitoring, O&M and AMC

    Generation monitoring and preventive maintenance — because a plant that silently underperforms for three years costs more than it saved.

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.

Model a PPA offer you've been sent

Want to see what a real proposal looks like before you talk to anyone?

We'll send a worked 500 kWp commercial example — layout, BOQ structure, generation model and the full CAPEX-versus-PPA comparison. A sample, not a quote for your site.

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.

Everything we publish on solar

Calculators, costed examples, state guides and the approval route — open, ungated, and written by the team that does the work.

Solar work we have executed

Verified projects only — capacity and outcome figures appear where the project record carries them.

Solar feasibility

Get your solar feasibility assessment

Two steps. The first asks nothing personal — just enough about your facility for an engineer to tell you whether solar stacks up, and at what size.

  1. 1 Your facility
  2. 2 Your details
Existing solar system
Do you need net-metering / approvals support?

Step 2 asks for your contact details so an engineer can send the assessment.

Questions C&I buyers ask

What size solar plant does my factory need?

It follows your consumption, not your roof. We size against twelve months of bills, your sanctioned load and your daytime demand curve, then check the roof can carry it. Capacity you cannot consume or export earns nothing, so a bigger number on a quote is not automatically better. The calculators on this page give an indicative figure in a minute; a site survey turns it into an engineered one.

Do you handle net metering and CEIG approvals?

Yes, in-house. Approvals are our core trade as an MEPF contractor — we file Fire NOC and CEIG applications routinely, and net metering runs through the same team. We publish state-by-state guides to the process so you can see what is involved before you commit.

Should we go CAPEX or OPEX/PPA?

It is a finance question, not a solar one — the engineering is identical. CAPEX means you fund it, own the asset, keep 100% of the saving and claim accelerated depreciation. OPEX/PPA means a developer funds it and you buy the units, with no capital outlay but a smaller saving and usually more total cost over 25 years. The comparison calculator models both against your actual tariff.

How long does a C&I solar project take?

Engineering and installation are usually the predictable part. Approvals are what move the date, and they vary by state and by how complete the application is when it is filed. We prepare approvals in parallel with procurement rather than after execution, specifically so inspection is not what holds up synchronisation.

What happens if the roof cannot take the load?

We tell you before you commit, and we say so in the feasibility rather than after procurement. Sometimes the answer is a smaller array, sometimes structural strengthening, sometimes a ground-mount or carport instead. What we will not do is quote a capacity the structure cannot carry.

Do you work outside the seven states listed?

We have delivered projects across 18+ Indian states. The seven states with dedicated pages are the ones where we file approvals routinely and know the DISCOM process in detail. For anywhere else, ask — the engineering travels, and the approvals are learnable, but we would rather be straight with you about the difference.

Send us last month's electricity bill

It settles tariff, sanctioned load and consumption in one photo — three of the four inputs any real assessment needs. An engineer will come back with an indicative size, saving and payback.
