For factories, warehouses, and offices, solar isn't just about the electricity saved — accelerated depreciation under Section 32 can offset a meaningful share of your Year 1 investment.
Industrial tariffs in Uttar Pradesh typically run ₹7–9 per unit — noticeably higher than residential rates — which means a commercial rooftop system pays for itself faster on electricity savings alone.
On top of that, Section 32 of the Income Tax Act allows businesses to claim 40% accelerated depreciation on solar assets in the first year. For a ₹25 lakh system, that can mean a tax saving in the range of ₹2.5 lakh in Year 1 — money that effectively reduces your real investment before a single unit of savings is counted.

Larger systems mean more moving parts — we manage each one so your team doesn't have to.
Engineering sign-off on mounting structure and roof load — critical for factory sheds and large flat roofs.
Net metering application, Domestic Content Requirement (DCR) reports, and Joint Commissioning Report — filed and followed up.
Ongoing performance monitoring and an Annual Maintenance Contract, so generation stays on target year after year.
| Setup | Best suited for | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Rooftop, up to sanctioned load | Factories, warehouses, offices with adequate roof area | Most common; billing offset against your existing connection |
| Ground-mount / open access | Larger industrial users with land available | Suited to loads beyond what rooftop area can support |
| Group captive | Multiple connected businesses or campuses | Shared system, allocated generation across users |
Systems above 50 kW require a check meter alongside your billing meter, per UPPCL regulations — this is included in our design and documentation.
