Commercial & Industrial Solar
SLASH YOUROPERATING COSTS.
Industrial-grade solar arrays engineered to radically reduce OpEx, unlock accelerated depreciation benefits, and achieve ESG compliance. From 50 kW rooftop systems to multi-MW ground-mounted plants.
The Business Case
The commercial solar opportunity.
For businesses paying ₹8–₹14 per unit in commercial/industrial electricity tariffs, solar represents the single largest OpEx reduction opportunity available today. A 100 kW rooftop system generating 14,000+ units monthly can save ₹10–₹15 Lakh annually — with payback in just 3–5 years.
We utilize N-Type TOPCon Bifacial panels as our standard. Unlike older monocrystalline technology, TOPCon offers higher energy density, lower degradation (0.4% annually), and better temperature coefficients — ensuring your plant produces maximum yield even in Rajasthan's 45°C+ peak summers.
Beyond direct savings, the 40% accelerated depreciation (AD) benefit under the Income Tax Act makes solar one of the most tax-efficient capital expenditures a business can make. On a ₹50 Lakh system, you write off ₹20 Lakh against taxable income in Year 1 itself.
Industry Baselines
Typical commercial scale.
While every facility requires custom engineering, these are typical system sizes and financial returns across major commercial sectors in Rajasthan.
| Facility Type | Typical Capacity | Monthly Generation | Roof Area Req. | Approx. Annual Savings |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Medium Factory / MSME | 100 kW | 14,000 units | ~8,000 sq ft | ₹13–15 Lakh |
| Cold Storage / Warehousing | 250 kW | 35,000 units | ~20,000 sq ft | ₹32–38 Lakh |
| Hospitals / Hotels | 500 kW | 70,000 units | ~40,000 sq ft | ₹65–75 Lakh |
| Large Manufacturing Plant | 1 MW (1000 kW) | 1,40,000 units | ~80,000 sq ft | ₹1.3–1.5 Crore |
Estimates assume ₹8/unit commercial tariff, N-Type TOPCon 580W+ modules, and Jaipur irradiance. Industrial tariffs often exceed ₹10/unit, yielding even faster payback.
Financial Models
CAPEX vs. OPEX vs. RESCO
Every business manages capital differently. We offer three primary models to deploy solar, depending on your risk appetite and balance sheet goals.
| Model | Upfront Investment | Asset Ownership | Tax Benefits (40% AD) | O&M Responsibility | Financial Impact |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| CAPEX (Self-Owned) | 100% by Client | Client | Claimed by Client | Client (AMC via SOLGURU) | Highest overall ROI. Payback in 3-5 years. Free power thereafter. |
| Solar Loan (Financed CAPEX) | 15-30% Margin Money | Client | Claimed by Client | Client (AMC via SOLGURU) | Preserves working capital. EMI is often lower than energy savings. |
| OPEX / RESCO (PPA) | Zero | Investor / Developer | Claimed by Investor | Investor / Developer | Immediate 20-40% discount on DISCOM tariff. Zero risk, zero maintenance. |
Tax Optimization & ESG Compliance
Section 32 Accelerated Depreciation (AD): Commercial entities can claim a 40% depreciation rate on solar assets in the first year. For a profitable company in the 25% corporate tax bracket, installing a ₹1 Crore solar plant results in immediate tax savings of ₹10 Lakh in Year 1 alone.
Green Certification & ESG: Corporate supply chains are increasingly mandating ESG compliance. Moving a factory to 50%+ renewable energy drastically reduces Scope 2 carbon emissions. This is essential for companies aiming for LEED, GRIHA, or IGBC green building certifications, or those exporting to markets with carbon border taxes (like the EU's CBAM).
Project Execution
Engineering-first delivery.
Commercial EPC requires rigorous compliance and minimal operational downtime. Here is our C&I delivery framework.
Feasibility Study
Load analysis, structural roof audit, 3D shadow mapping, and grid synchronization capacity check.
Engineering & Design
Detailed single-line diagrams (SLD), structure STAAD.Pro analysis, and PVSyst yield modeling.
Approvals & CEIG
DISCOM approvals, net-metering sanctions, and Chief Electrical Inspector to Government (CEIG) clearance.
Execution
Safe, scheduled deployment of modules, inverters, and AC/DC infrastructure with minimal facility downtime.
Commissioning
Rigorous testing, grid synchronization, and handover of generation assets and monitoring systems.
Asset Management
24/7 NOC monitoring, scheduled module cleaning, and preventative electrical maintenance (O&M).
