For manufacturing units, electricity is often among the top three operating costs. Industrial rooftop solar directly attacks that cost — and with today's panel prices, the economics have never been better.
Why Industries Are Racing to Solar
- Commercial tariffs are the highest — often ₹8–11 per unit, making every solar unit more valuable.
- Daytime load matches solar generation — factories consume power exactly when panels produce it.
- Accelerated depreciation — businesses can claim up to 40% depreciation, improving ROI significantly.
- Massive unused roof area — factory sheds are ideal for high-capacity installations.
Typical Numbers for a 100 kW Plant
- Generation: ~1.4–1.5 lakh units per year
- Annual savings: ₹11–15 lakh (at commercial tariffs)
- Payback: 3–4 years, then 20+ years of low-cost power
Engineering Matters More at Scale
At industrial scale, small design errors become large losses. Sunvera Energy's EPC process includes structural audits of shed roofs, string-level design optimisation, transformer and HT-side integration, and SCADA-based generation monitoring.
CO₂ and Compliance Benefits
A 100 kW plant offsets roughly 120 tonnes of CO₂ every year — strengthening your ESG profile and helping meet buyer sustainability requirements in export markets.
