Why Should You Install Commercial Rooftop Solar Panel System?
Check out the benefit you can get by installing commercial rooftop solar panels in India in 2024:
Electricity Bill Savings for the Owner:
Commercial electricity tariff is around Rs. 12 - Rs. 16 per unit in India. How much do you pay? However, it is costly compared to domestic connections. With commercial solar systems, our customers are reducing around 75% of their electricity costs. You can also cut down your expenses by installing solar panels for business premises.
Enjoy Tax Saving:
To promote solar energy among private & corporate sectors, the Indian Government allows a 40% year-on-year depreciation rebate under section 32 of the Income-tax Act. If your solar system is older than 180 days or 6 months, you are eligible for this deduction. An additional 20% tax rebate (up to 60% depreciation) is applicable for the first year.
Get Payback in 4 Years:
The best thing is you will get your solar investment back within around 4 years from the installation date. So, after this period whatever electricity you generate for the next 21 - 26 years will be your net profit.
Protection Against Electricity Price Hike:
Once installed, a solar plant will generate free electricity for up to 25-30 years. Even if the cost of electricity increases, you are safe from this inflation as your electricity is free.
Enjoy Cooler Roof:
If you install the solar plant on the rooftop of your commercial space, the solar panels will block the sunlight from directly falling on your roof or roof’s shed. Therefore, your roof’s temperature will be less.
Reduce the Risks of Power Outage:
You can go for off-grid commercial solar system installations. It comes with solar batteries to store the produced electricity. The battery enabled system serves as a power backup system during power shutdowns. So, you can stay assured that the activities of your businesses continue even during power cuts.
Lower Installation and Maintenance Cost:
Generally commercial solar installers charge a very nominal amount for installing and maintenance of solar panels for business premises as compared to residential installation. This is mainly because of the large size of the project involved in the C&I solar segment.
Improved Business Image:
With industrial solar installation, you can not only utilise the unused space but also increase the property value. More than the property value, you can establish a positive brand image by adopting renewable energy.

These are some requirements commercial and industrial solar installers check before installing solar on commercial buildings for longer life and better output:- Easy and Safe Rooftop Access: The easy and safe rooftop access is helpful for our installation partners to easily carry the components and install the commercial solar system at the installation location. After installation, this will help to do regular checks and maintenance by our installation partner. If the access to rooftop is difficult, you can still consult with commercial solar installers to know the way out.
- Type of Mounting Structure: Choosing the correct mounting structure is also another important factor in ensuring a better structure for your solar system. It is better if the installer you choose uses hot-dip galvanised steel mounting structures for commercial solar system installation., especially if you have an RCC roof. If you have a metallic sheet roof, you can create aluminium rail structures because they are sturdy, light and corrosion-resistant.
- Strength of Your Rooftop: Generally, a commercial rooftop solar system has a load of 14-15 kg/square meter on the roof. You should tell the C&I solar installation partner to inspect the strength of the rooftop to ensure that it withstands the load of the commercial solar system.
- Direction and Angle of Solar Panels: The correct direction and angle are other important factors to get the optimum benefits from commercial solar. You can orient solar panels south-faced for the best output. Also, the installation area should stay shadowed-free between 9 AM and 4 PM. In North India, the best tilt angle of solar panels for factory roofs should ideally be above 20° and for South India the best tilt angle is 10°.
