Commercial entities can benefit from the Net Metering System, which allows them to:
Use solar power directly during the day, reducing grid reliance.
Feed excess solar power into the grid, earning equal unit credits on monthly power bills.
This facility is fully supported by the Government’s policy on rooftop solar, which is being aggressively promoted across India. Note: Commercial and institutional consumers are not eligible for solar subsidies under Central or State Government schemes. However, they are eligible for net metering.
Understanding Requirements and FeasibilitySystem Sizing
The size of the rooftop solar system depends primarily on:
Your monthly power consumption
The available free roof space
Use the following yardsticks to estimate your requirement:
1 kW of solar system generates approx. 120 units/month
A business consuming 1,000 units/month would typically need a 10 kW system to save nearly 90% on power bills
Space Requirement1 kW of solar power needs about 100 sq. ft. of shadow-free rooftop space
So, a 10 kW system would require approx. 1,000 sq. ft. of usable area
Grid Connection & Professional Support
To avail net metering, the existing meter must be replaced with a bi-directional net meter by the local DISCOM. This process typically involves:
Online application and documentation
Follow-up and coordination with DISCOM authorities
Though consumers can handle the process independently, professional agencies are recommended to simplify and expedite the process. Since the system is grid-connected, battery backup is not required, saving on additional costs.
Why Choose a Professional Agency?
Rooftop solar systems require accurate engineering design, high-quality panels, and efficient inverters for long-term reliability. A trusted EPC partner ensures:
Seamless installation
Smooth DISCOM coordination
Hassle-free maintenance
Commercial & Institutional Consumers Rooftop solar offers a golden opportunity for commercial and institutional establishments—such as industries, hotels, hospitals, schools, and warehouses—to cut electricity bills by over 50% while enhancing their green energy credentials. With abundant roof space and high energy needs, these consumers can generate their own power during daylight hours, reducing dependency on the grid and improving cost efficiency.
