Top Rooftop Solar Companies in India

Hailed as one among the top ten countries in the world who are utilizing solar power with full enthusiasm, India has come a long way in the solar power domain. With one of the fastest-growing economies in the world, its repercussions are manifold. Primarily, rapid growth in consumerism and globalization has led to an increased carbon footprint in the country, something it is unable to cope up from. So, how would it be then to use something that is perhaps the most abundant natural source of energy: Sun, to fight odds? Here, ensuring India is clean and green, utilizing solar power seems to be a likely answer. 

There are myriads of ways in which solar energy is generated, however, Solar Rooftop System holds an ideal position. The reason being: firstly, in urban and rural India, millions of homes and commercial buildings have rooftops that receive an ample amount of sunlight daily, this can be converted into electric power. Secondly, they don’t demand extra setup and cause less hassle in setup. Thirdly, electricity costs are rising every year. Comparing average data, a commercial consumer is liable to pay around Rs. 7-9/- for using a unit of electricity. This, in turn, increases the overall expenditure. A rooftop plant reduces the electricity bills and helps in incurring profits going forward.

In sync with that, in February 2019, the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs chaired by Narendra Modi approved the Phase-II of Grid Connected Rooftop Solar Programme: aiming to achieve 40,000 MW by 2022. along with that, many other govt. led initiatives such as subsidies on power and policies on net-metering and providing it a strong base for the future.
