As onsite solar reduces carbon emissions and dependency on fossil fuels, it offers financial savings, energy independence, and environmental advantages.
The space required depends on the energy needs of the facility and the efficiency of the solar panels. Rooftop installations usually require unobstructed, flat or slightly sloped surfaces with minimal shading.
The payback period, which varies according to system size, location, and incentives, usually lasts between three and seven years after which the energy produced is almost free.
It is possible to combine onsite solar systems with battery storage to get advantages including energy independence, backup power during blackouts, and improved energy management during periods of high demand.
Site evaluation, system design, obtaining licenses, installation, and commissioning are usually steps in the process. Each step requires coordination with local authorities and utility companies.
Although they work best in sunny weather, solar systems may still provide electricity on overcast days. The amount of energy produced overall is impacted by seasonal variations in the sun’s angle and the length of daylight.
Tax credits, rebates, accelerated depreciation, and net metering rules are a few examples of incentives that can lower upfront costs and increase return on investment.
Regular panel cleaning, recurring wear-and-tear inspections, system performance monitoring, and verifying that inverters and other components are operating as intended are all standard components of maintenance.
Offsite solar refers to solar energy systems located away from the consumer’s premises, unlike onsite solar, which is installed directly on the consumer’s property. Offsite solar projects often involve larger installations, like solar farms, where power is transmitted to the user through the grid.
Offsite solar allows access to renewable energy for consumers who may not have suitable rooftops or land for onsite installations. It also enables economies of scale, potentially lowering costs per unit of energy.
Offsite solar projects typically involve Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs), where consumers agree to buy energy at a predetermined rate for a set period, often leading to long-term cost savings.
Offsite solar helps companies meet their sustainability targets by providing a reliable source of renewable energy without the need for physical space on their premises, aligning with broader environmental commitments.
Regulatory challenges can include navigating local grid regulations, securing permits, and meeting renewable energy certificate requirements. Each region may have different policies that affect project viability.
Energy from offsite solar is transmitted via the electrical grid. Consumers receive credits for the solar power produced, which offsets their utility bills, often through virtual net metering or similar mechanisms.
Offsite solar projects reduce greenhouse gas emissions by providing clean energy and help in land conservation through the use of underutilized land for solar farms. However, careful planning is needed to minimize impacts on local ecosystems.
Yes, offsite solar projects can be tailored to match the energy consumption patterns of businesses or communities, with options to scale production as needs grow.
In a captive solar model, you invest in a solar plant located off-site to generate electricity exclusively for your use. The generated power is transmitted to your facility through the grid, ensuring significant cost savings.
Not necessarily. You can either own the land or lease it for the plant. Our team can assist in identifying suitable locations and navigating the process.
Savings can range from 20% to 40% on electricity costs, depending on factors such as location, tariffs, and plant size. We provide a detailed savings analysis to help you make an informed decision.
Yes, approvals related to land use, grid connectivity, and electricity wheeling are necessary. We handle all regulatory procedures to ensure a smooth setup.
Yes, a captive plant can supply power to multiple facilities under the same ownership, offering scalability and cost efficiency.
A group captive model involves multiple consumers jointly owning a solar plant to meet their electricity needs. Each consumer must hold at least a 26% equity stake and consume at least 51% of the generated power.
It offers cost savings, reduced electricity tariffs, and exemption from certain charges, making it an attractive option for businesses wanting to share solar infrastructure costs.
The investment varies based on plant size and electricity consumption. We can guide you through the financial requirements and benefits.
Yes, as your energy needs grow, you can increase your equity stake and share of power from the plant.
Billing is based on your share of the electricity generated, with charges typically lower than regular grid tariffs, resulting in substantial savings.
In a third-party model, a solar developer invests in and owns the solar plant, supplying electricity to your facility under a long-term Power Purchase Agreement (PPA). You pay for the electricity consumed, without any upfront investment.
Under a PPA, you agree to purchase electricity at a predetermined rate, often lower than grid tariffs. The developer handles installation, maintenance, and operations, providing hassle-free solar power.
Yes, PPAs typically have a contract period of 15-25 years. This ensures stable electricity costs and long-term savings.
Yes, you can still access grid power, and the solar plant operates in parallel with your existing electricity supply, offering flexibility.
Exiting a PPA early may involve termination fees, but this depends on the contract terms. Our team can help negotiate favorable terms to suit your business needs.
