How to install solar panels for business purposes?

Solar panels for commercial uses are trending because solar energy is very rapidly growing for business purposes. Suppose I talk about why to install solar panels in the commercial and industrial sectors. I meet many business owners and try to know how solar energy helps them. I got an answer that it reduces electricity bills. I know a clothing factory business owner, he is paying Rs. 50,000 to 60,000 electricity bills and 20,000 diesel costs per month. But he hasn’t been installing solar power on his rooftop area. I met him and told him about rooftop solar. Then he took the initiative to install solar power on Easy EMI. In this blog post, I will share an experience of our client so that if you are stuck anywhere on the rooftop, this post will help you to decide. So, let’s know step-by-step:

Which capacity of solar panels should I install?

Based on one-year electricity bills, installation area, and sanctioned load, you can decide how many kilowatts of solar panels you should install.

How much is the cost of rooftop solar installation?

The price of rooftop solar panel installation starts from Rs. 45,000 to 60,000 per kilowatt but it can vary on the installation capacity, product technology, installation area, and documentation. Generally, commercial businesses have a requirement of 10kW to 100kW or above. We recommend you consult solar companies in your area who will visit your installation site and then he/she will provide a solar quotation.

Should I install rooftop solar on Monthly EMIs?

This is the most common query of rooftop solar installation because the initial investment in solar panels is very high. To make it easy, many banking or non-banking companies provide solar finance without any collaterals and competitive interest rates.

Who will do documentation works of rooftop solar?

When you plan to install rooftop solar in your business, you need to get approval from the local electricity board. Here, you need to know which solar system is beneficial for your business. Generally, there are three types of solar systems available in India such as grid-connected solar systems, Standalone solar systems, and Hybrid solar systems. You should know the workings and functions of these solar systems. A grid-connected solar system is a popular solar system for commercial and industrial sectors. The purpose of installing this solar system is to reduce the electricity bill. Now, I come back to the documentation works of rooftop solar installation. A net-metering and solar loan are the main documentation works in solar installation. A consumer can do these works by self, or a solar company can do these works on behalf of the consumer.

How much do electricity bills save after solar installation?

At the beginning time, a solar system helps to reduce electricity bills but how much? It depends on solar panel installation capacity, installation location, sun radiation, weather conditions, product quality, grid availability, service, and maintenance. The average generation of 1kW solar panels generates 4 to 5 units per day and 1200 to 1500 units per year. Based on this generation, you may calculate it in amount. Generally, the electricity rate per unit in commercial and industrial sectors is Rs. 7 to 8 per unit. That means, you can save Rs. 28 to 40 per day and Rs. 8400 to 12000 per year.

What appliances can I run on solar panels?

This is a very important question for business owners if they install solar panels on a rooftop and during the power cut, what appliances can run on rooftop solar? I have already told you about the grid solar system. You can run entire appliances as usual. There is a new device called Generator synchronization. It synchronizes solar panels with your existing generator. The benefits of a synchronization device reduce 70% of diesel consumption. And I hope, you got the answer to your question.

Where will solar panels be installed? 

A solar panel is installed on shadow free area of your rooftop. There are some major problems in the installation selection area such as:

1. An installation area comes between two high buildings.

2. A factory roof’s sheets are very old.

3. Installation area is very small, etc.

To analyze the installation area for a long time, the next 25 years is the average generation of solar panels never impacted due to shadow area. It is a very important step when we will plan to install rooftop solar.
