  Why Invest in Commercial Solar? 

Wanna 24 % + Return on investment

The majority of Indian businesses consume a big chunk of their power during the day, between 9 am and 5 pm, when it's sunlit all around. Businesses that install solar PV end up saving a massive amount of resources due to this. Moreover, if a company is capable of paying electricity bills, using commercial solar power would be a definite win-win for them. Not only would they save money on power consumption but also would choose an ecologically viable option in the form of solar power.

Commercial Solar Systems: 

Size Guide

The size of an average commercial  solar power installation is more than 6.6kW and rate of tariff is 8 Rs per unit

1. Load  30kW- Roughly 100 panels

These small commercial solar installations use similar hardware as used in residential systems. Consequently, they fall under the same grid connection rules as residential systems. Thus, installers who work with residential-sized installations can handle business-sized installs up to this level. There is hardly any need for 'specialist' commercial solar power knowledge. Such systems can generate about 120 kWh of electricity every day over the year. Businesses can save approximately Rs 3.5 lacs  per  on an average ,considering 360 day of solar days.

4. Over 100 kW

These gigantic solar systems require the expertise of a specialist installer who has the engineering expertise to understand the unique requirements of such big commercial solar installations. Such systems are well equipped to hand solar energy generation for big spaces like malls and stadiums.

How to Finance a Commercial Solar Power System for Your Business?

1) Cash/CapEx

Cash remains a popular way to purchase a commercial-sized solar power installation among businesses. Since the cash price for a commercial solar system remains the lowest sans any additional fees and charges involved with financing and leasing it, it gives the optimum payback over a shorter duration. However, it's important to note that larger commercial solar systems incur significant expenditure, which could weigh heavily on the business capital in the short run.

2) Power Purchasing Agreement (PPA)

Solar leasing arrangements or more popularly known as power purchasing agreements are another popular choice among businesses. It involves a third party retailer who installs a commercial system on the property. The system is legally owned by the retailer, and they also bear the maintenance cost. Such an agreement allows businesses to purchase a set amount of electricity over a long term agreement from third party vendors Such arrangements reduce the overall business electricity costs because the price for electricity under a PPA is usually lower than what grid power costs. Also, there is no upfront cost involved in installing the system. However, in such arrangements a business is obligated to buy all the electricity generated by the system, irrespective of the fact whether it is self-consumed by the business or sent to the grid. Businesses opting for the PPA route must have it optimally sized for maximum self-consumption. Start with a low price for year one and scrutinize the fine print on how the fees range over the time of the PPA. Ideally, the prices should increase over its term at a low rate or not at all.

3) Loan

Green loans are perfect instruments for negotiating pricing with a commercial solar installer. If the residual savings from a new commercial solar system are more than what is paid by the business on interest for the loan, it's ideal for the business. It saves the company from a cash flow crunch too.
