Solar for business

Your roof is your cheapest power plant.

Shops, offices, factories, warehouses, schools and hospitals pay the highest tariffs and use most of their power in daylight. That makes commercial rooftop solar one of the quickest paybacks in NCR, often three to five years.

Who it suits

Factories and warehouses

Large tin-shed or RCC roofs in Faridabad, Manesar, Noida Phase 2 and Mohali. Daytime shifts use almost every unit.

Offices and showrooms

AC-heavy daytime loads in Gurugram, Noida and Delhi commercial blocks.

Schools and colleges

Open roofs, daytime use and a visible lesson for students.

Hospitals and hotels

Round-the-clock loads where solar trims the daytime peak and diesel use.

What a commercial project looks like

Load study. Twelve months of bills, your sanctioned load and, if available, a day of meter data to see when you use power.
Roof and structure check. Sheet roofs need purlin checks and the right clamps; RCC roofs need waterproofing-safe anchors.
Design and yield report. Layout, string design, expected units per month and a simple cash flow.
Financing choice. Capex, term loan or RESCO.
Approvals. DISCOM feasibility, net or gross metering, and electrical inspectorate where required.
Build and commissioning. Scheduled around your shifts, with safety plans for working at height.
Monitoring and O&M. String-level monitoring, cleaning schedules and periodic thermal checks.

Gurugram, Faridabad	DHBVN	Net metering capped at 500 kW per connection.
Noida, Ghaziabad, Greater Noida	PVVNL, NPCL	System up to 100% of sanctioned load.
Mohali	PSPCL	Net metering, net billing, group, gross and virtual net metering allowed since April 2026.

Tax and finance

Businesses can usually claim depreciation on a solar plant, which improves the return in the first years. Ask your CA how it applies to your company. If you would rather not spend capital, a RESCO agreement gets you lower-cost power from day one with the developer handling maintenance. See loans and EMI.

Common questions

Do businesses get a subsidy for rooftop solar?

The PM Surya Ghar subsidy is for homes and housing societies, not businesses. Commercial and industrial users still see the fastest payback because they pay higher tariffs, and in Delhi C&I systems continue to get the generation based incentive under the state policy.

What is the payback for a factory rooftop system?

Commonly three to five years, depending on your tariff, how much of the solar you use during the day and how the system is financed. Daytime-heavy loads like factories, cold stores, schools and offices pay back fastest.

How big can a commercial rooftop system be?

It depends on roof area and your DISCOM's rules. In Haryana net metering is capped at 500 kW per connection; in UP the system can be up to 100% of sanctioned load. Above those limits we look at gross metering or captive models.

Can we get solar without paying upfront?

Yes. Under a RESCO or power purchase agreement, a developer owns and maintains the plant and you pay a fixed tariff per unit, usually below your grid rate. Term loans and leasing are other options.
