Five stages. No surprises in the middle.
Most solar disappointment starts with a proposal built on assumptions nobody wrote down. We work the other way round: establish the facts, show the working, then build. Here's exactly what happens, and what we need from you at each stage.
How does a commercial solar installation actually work?
Five stages. It starts with your electricity bills, because your tariff category, sanctioned demand and daytime consumption decide whether a plant makes sense at all. Then a site study covering structure, shading and electrical layout; a proposal with its assumptions shown; the DISCOM application, statutory inspection and net-meter installation; and construction. Commissioning is not the end — a system runs for around 25 years, so monitoring and maintenance are part of the job rather than an afterthought.
What actually happens, in order.
Bills & first read
You send two recent electricity bills and a roof photo. We read tariff category, sanctioned load, consumption pattern and seasonality — and tell you honestly whether a site study is worth anyone's time.
Site study
A visit to your facility: structural assessment of the roof, shadow analysis across the day and year, electrical infrastructure, cable routes and metering. This is engineering, not a sales call.
Proposal with its working
System size, layout, model options (CAPEX or OPEX), indicative schedule — and every number computed from your site with the assumptions stated. You can interrogate any figure in it.
Approvals & build
Net-metering application, DISCOM liaison and clearances handled by us. Then installation to Indian standards, with a commissioning date we've told you the tax implications of.
Operate & maintain
Performance monitoring, cleaning schedules, inverter health, periodic inspection. Output degrades quietly if nobody's watching — so we watch.
Three documents, one decision.
The less we have to assume, the better your proposal gets — and the fewer unpleasant surprises appear later.
Two recent bills
Twelve months is better. Seasonality and shift patterns show up in the data long before they show up in conversation.
Roof access
For the site study — plus any existing structural drawings if you have them, and details of any DG set or existing solar.
A decision-maker in the room
The proposal will have real trade-offs in it. The conversation goes faster when the person who weighs them is present.
Stage one costs you two PDFs.
Send your bills and a roof photo. We'll tell you what we see — including if the answer is 'not yet'.
