Commercial Solar

Commercial Solar EPC in Rajasthan

Commercial solar in Rajasthan offers massive ROI by offsetting high industrial tariffs. SOLGURU designs rooftop, shed-mounted, and ground-mounted systems for offices, hotels, hospitals, and warehouses. We help businesses navigate the critical choice between grid-connected ALMM/DCR systems, Virtual Net Metering (VNM), or highly cost-effective Behind-the-Meter (Non-DCR) installations.

The DCR vs Non-DCR Decision for Businesses

A critical decision for commercial solar is panel sourcing. If you want Net Metering to export surplus power to the grid, MNRE mandates using ALMM-approved DCR panels (List-I & List-II). However, if your facility consumes 100% of the power it generates (zero export), you can install a "Behind-the-Meter" system. Behind-the-Meter systems are exempt from ALMM rules, allowing you to use high-efficiency, lower-cost imported Non-DCR panels.

  • Net Metering: Requires ALMM certified DCR panels
  • Behind-the-Meter: Can use imported Non-DCR panels (lower CAPEX)
  • Zero Export Devices (ZED) used to prevent inadvertent grid injection
  • Behind-the-Meter requires prior DISCOM intimation but avoids net-metering delays

Unlocking Multi-Facility ROI with GNM & VNM

If your business has a large warehouse with massive roof space but low power bills, and a corporate office with high bills but no roof, the 2025 RERC Group Net Metering (GNM) policy solves this. You can install the solar plant on the warehouse and legally adjust the energy credits against your corporate office's electricity bill.

  • Maximize ROI on unused warehouse/factory roofs
  • Offset high commercial tariffs at urban offices
  • Requires all connections to be in the same DISCOM jurisdiction
  • SOLGURU handles the complex sharing agreements and DISCOM approvals

Frequently Asked Questions

Only if you apply for Net Metering, Open Access, or government schemes. Purely private "Behind-the-Meter" installations that do not export power to the grid are exempt and can use imported Non-DCR panels.

Under RERC rules, if a Behind-the-Meter system inadvertently injects power into the grid, the DISCOM will levy severe penalties (treated as deemed drawl). SOLGURU installs fail-safe Zero Export Devices (ZED) to prevent this.
