Solar for shops, factories and institutions in Kerala

Businesses use power exactly when the sun shines. That single fact makes commercial solar the best-kept arithmetic in Kerala, with tax depreciation on top.

A home uses most of its electricity in the evening. A shop, office, factory, school or hospital uses it between nine and six, which is precisely when a solar plant produces. That alignment changes the economics completely: most of the power is consumed the moment it is made, at commercial tariffs that are higher than domestic ones.

The commercial arithmetic

Commercial and industrial tariffs in Kerala run well above domestic rates, so every self-consumed solar unit saves more. Payback for daytime-heavy businesses routinely lands in the 3 to 4 year range, on equipment that produces for 25.

Registered businesses also get accelerated depreciation on solar assets under the Income Tax Act, writing off a large share of the investment early. Your chartered accountant will like this section more than any other on our site.

What we install beyond rooftops

Alongside rooftop plants for institutions from schools to hospitals, we deploy solar street lighting for campuses and housing colonies, water heating for hostels and hospitals, and off-grid systems for sites where the grid is weak. One survey covers all of it.

If your business pays KSEB more than ₹10,000 a month, the free site survey usually pays for itself in the first conversation.
