At the inception of MYSUN, a good three years ago when the first thoughts came aloft, we set ourselves a challenge to solarize every rooftop possible in India. In our attempt to meet that challenge heads on, in the last year and a half or so we have held outreach programs in one way or the other across India. Some of these have been online some offline. However, it is the opportunity to meet the residential customers offline, hearing their problems, proposing a solution and completing the project has been the most critical component of our learning curve. It is this nature to put the demands of the customers first that has helped MYSUN grow into a reputable brand when it comes to rooftop solar.

Continuing with our endeavour we held a pop up camp a couple of weeks ago in Nirvana Country in Gurgaon. Several hundred residents from the locality and the areas nearby attended and showed the keen interest in going solar on their rooftops. They recognized the potential of solar not just as a benefit to the environment but also what an amazing investment it can be. Who would not like to save 70-80% of their recurring monthly electricity bills?

Top that with the easy solar financing options that MYSUN provides with MYSUN Flexi-Pay and MYSUN Deferred Payment Agreement where you can virtually build your own payment terms and a promise to be with you for 25 years with the most comprehensive service and extended warranty package, MYSUN care and it is clear why several across the country are choosing MYSUN as their preferred solar partners. Several of our customers have shown really keen interest on the payment plan for MYSUN Flexi-Pay and Deferred Payment. Our prime advice to the customers is using solar energy and save electricity.

However, if you love your numbers and are looking to know the exact mathematics of the savings and how solar can be such a trusted investment, we prepared a case study for you from one of our customers in Nirvana Country in Gurgaon. Gurgaon being a strong residential area provides a great case study for residents wanting to go solar. As long as you have roof rights, there should be nothing stopping you from going solar in Gurgaon.

It is extremely clear from the case study above that the resident who was paying just a little over Rs 7,000 every month is now paying just 25% of that cost. That is a saving of 75% every month. With the onset of summers, and ACs set to run at peak, the electricity bill will only go northwards, however, with a 5.5 kW solar system on his rooftop, the resident is confident of saving even more.

What is even more interesting is that the said resident has not even opted for subsidy and gone ahead with imported modules which have been in field tested and trusted for years on end. It is due to this that his generation is uniform and stable and he is able to generate a 20% return on his investment. So get your solar rooftop solution soon and help us to achieve the target of making Green Gurgaon, Solar Gurgaon.

Running a successful business is all about staying on top of your competition, evolving your methods, enhancing your customer base and ultimately improving your bottom line. To say it in the layman's terms, it is all about improving the profitability of your company and saving on everything that you can without compromising on the quality or giving up on critical things. It is a well-known fact that Electricity Bill consumption is a big recurring cost that every industry owner has to bear. While machines continue to get power efficient, the cost of power also has gone up in the last few years and continues to do so, making your electricity bill a recurring expense. This is where going solar can be a well informed Financial decision. With a Solar System on your rooftop, not only will you produce your own power and consume it bringing the cost of your electricity down, you will also lock in the costs of power for the next 25 years. This would mean that the price rise in power would no longer affect you. Beyond this, obviously, there is a huge environmental impact that you would be making moving to a greener and cleaner source of energy. You can also claim Accelerated Depreciation (AD) benefits with solar, which would ultimately reduce your tax liability further improving profitability. Therefore overall, as aforementioned, going solar will be a fitting decision that you would take for your Industry. With the state of Rajasthan famous for its small-scale industries, every penny saved is a penny earned and therefore going solar (especially when the generation in the state is one of the highest) should be seen as necessary. Using our highly Advanced yet accurate Rooftop Solar Calculator, we have projected the outcome for an industrial consumer in Bhilwara who is spending Rs 1,00,000 on his electricity bill. As you can see yourself, the savings and Return on Investment are unprecedented and no other financial investment, be it FD, stocks or any other will give you such benefits. Whether you own a spinning mill or a textiles factory, a cement factory, stone or marble factory or a handicraft factory in cities of Rajasthan like Bhilwara, Chittorgarh, Udaipur, Kota, Jhalawar, etc, you are in the region where sun shines very brightly and your energy savings with solar will be very high and MYSUN will help you go solar and enjoy the benefits of the same. MYSUN already has several high-quality rooftop solar projects executed in the state of Rajasthan and we would be glad to facilitate your solar journey. MYSUN uses only top quality, reliable and high-efficiency solar panels and solar string inverters from Tier 1 manufacturers, has a team on the ground to engineer and design the most optimum solar panel layout on your roof and have on-ground solar operations and maintenance (O&M) teams.

In order to comply with the revised environmental norms as issued on December 7, 2015, several coal-based thermal power plants will be retrofitted with equipment that would result in reduced emission from these plants. With the smog and pollution reports in regions like Delhi/NCR, this looks to be a necessary move. While the Central Electricity Authority has already prepared a detailed plan for the implementation of these norms and how to manage the disruption when the plants are down for this retrospective fitting, it looks like the biggest brunt will be faced by the consumers.

To meet the expected capital expenditure of Rs 70 lakh to Rs 1 crore per megawatt for the plants, a tariff hike of almost 62-93 paisa per unit will be levied in the first year of the retrofitting exercise according to the power minister, Mr. RK Singh. This would take the existing tariff from about Rs 5 per unit to close to Rs 6, a hike of about 15-20%.

It is not clear exactly when will this norm come into regulation but when it does, it will see the tariff rise across India and is expected to be a cause of big concern. It is to safeguard against such periodic price rise that installing a rooftop solar system on your own house can be such a benefit. When you go solar, not only are you assured of savings on your electricity bill and a very lucrative Return on your Investment, you also lock in your tariff for 25 years.

In a bid to push the adoption of rooftop solar in the residential, commercial and industrial sector, the Renewable Energy Department of Haryana has issued Financial Assistance Guidelines. All the rooftop solar systems in the size of 1 to 500 kW will come in the purview of these guidelines. If you are living in Haryana, cities like Gurgaon (Gurugram), Faridabad, Palwal, Rewari or any other city, you should be aware of these guidelines if you are considering installing a rooftop PV Solar System. Below is a summary of the guidelines for your information. Rooftop solar systems for residential, institutional, and social sectors will all be eligible for CFA (Central Financial Assistance). The state government will provide the installations with CFA equal to either 30% of the benchmark project cost or ₹20,000/kW, whichever is lower. The benchmark cost as per the system capacity is shown below:

The Eligibility Criteria for CFA are as follows:

• Minimum technical specifications should be as per prescribed by the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE).
• The projects must only use MNRE-approved components.
• Projects that are installed before any site is visited by a government official will not be considered for subsidies.
• If an applicant has to install grid-connected rooftop solar projects without net metering, the project will be eligible for CFA. But the user must give notification in writing that the generated power won’t be injected into the grid.
• If more than one user of a grid-connected rooftop solar project is connected to a common energy meter, then a joint undertaking must be provided that allows the meter to connect to more than one project with the same energy meter. These projects will also be eligible for CFA.
• The project should be completed in the completion time frame (5 Months).

The UT administration had issued a notification last year, making it compulsory for all houses and group housing societies in Chandigarh that occupied areas more than 500 sq. yards, to install rooftop solar system. However, the implementation of the ruling has been more miss than hit, until now. With the period of the notification set to expire, the UT Administration is beginning to issue notices to those independent houses and group housing societies who have not abided by the notification.

According to this report, there are over ten thousand buildings that qualify under this ruling to mandatorily install rooftop solar system but only about 100 of them have done it. Another 158 have applied so far, which would take the total capacity to about 1,475.98 kWp.

It is to encourage the adoption of rooftop solar that Chandigarh Renewal Energy, Science and Technology Promotion Society (CREST) had also announced a subsidy lead program as well as a cash reward for the best performing RWA. Despite that, the uptake has not been significant and therefore these notices are being sent to the defaulters. The UT Administration aims to convert Chandigarh into a 100% solar powered city which would serve as a model to replicate in all UTs across the country. The city has an installed capacity of about 13.5MW, while the aim is to reach the installed capacity of close to 50MW.

If you are in Chandigarh and would like to install rooftop solar system on your house, you can get in touch with our solar advisors by writing an E-Mail on [email protected] or calling us at: ‭+91 98731 67009‬.

After the Final Draft of the Uttar Pradesh Solar Policy 2017 was announced in July, the final solar policy for the state was released yesterday. The solar policy can be accessed here. Several interesting points have been highlighted in the policy, none more so than the fact the Government lead by Yogi Adityanath is looking to add at least 10GW of solar power by the end of the year 2022. We have summarized the solar policy for you presenting the key highlights. They are as follows:

• Uttar Pradesh government has set an ambitious target of generating 10,700 MW of solar power in next five years by the end of 2022, out of which 4,300 MW is the target set for solar rooftop systems.
• Uttar Pradesh Government has set an 8% Renewable Purchase Obligation (RPO) target till 2022.
• For grid-connected solar rooftop system under the net-metering arrangement in the Residential segment, a state Government incentive of Rs. 15000 per KW to a maximum of Rs. 30000 per user is provided. The amount would be disbursed after effective installation, commissioning of the solar system and completing documentation to UPNEDA. The project should be completed within 6 months of the beginning of installation to avail the incentive from UPNEDA. Also, the incentive (solar subsidy) is available only for first 100MW installation on a first come, first serve basis.
• Only for installations of solar power plants in Uttar Pradesh, greater than 10kW, approval from State Electricity Inspector is required.
• Another incentive in the new solar energy policy is that it allows investors the facility of 'open access' and thus to sell power to an individual or institutional consumers within and outside the state. This was restricted in the previous policy framework and they were supposed to feed the entire energy generated to UP Power Corporation Limited (UPPCL) grid.
• Under the new policy, the state is drafting an action plan to develop an exclusive Green Energy Corridor in the arid Bundelkhand region at an investment of about Rs 4,000 crore with partial funding by the Union Government.
• For new solar power projects in Bundelkhand and eastern UP, the state government would bear the cost of linking the solar power project with the power grid or the cost incurred in laying the overhead power line
• The land ceiling of 5.058 hectares has been removed exclusively for setting up of solar power plants. Plus 100% exemption from stamp duty. Also, complete exemption from electricity duty for at least next 10 years.
• The private solar power generator will have the freedom to sell the power anywhere in the country and will get 100 percent waiver in transmission charges.

Right from a very young age, we have been taught a golden lesson, not to waste resources. And electricity is considered a major resource because even today, a vast majority of it is produced by either water or by burning fossil fuel like coal, petrol etc. Yet, we see very often, people leaving fans and lights running when they are not really using them. Add to this that we live in a connected world, where each of us has a bag full of electronic items including mobile devices, routers, phones etc that need electricity to charge or run, more often than not, we end up wasting a lot of electricity. This results not only in the depleting resource but also higher electricity bills.

The months of summer in the Northern cities of India like Delhi, Noida, Chandigarh, Lucknow are especially brutal and you need AC's, Refrigerator, Fans, Coolers etc running which all lead to higher bills. Not to forget, the ever-increasing cost of electricity. So, while the obvious solution seems to be to turn off the appliances when not being used, that is not going to be enough to save you from high electricity bills.

What else can you do? At MYSUN, we understand your power requirement and consumption pattern like no one else. Our highly experienced technical team, therefore has a list of things that they recommend for any residential, commercial or an industrial user, to reduce their Electricity bill. The list is in the form of an infographic, shared below. Do check it out and share with your friends.

Our purchasing habits today are defined by how much can we save on our shopping. The internet has played a key role and today we make sure to find the 'Best Deal' before we decide to invest into anything. Yet, despite this evolving behavior of putting savings first, there are some key things on which we spend far too much than we should be spending. Our electricity bill is a case in point. While we hear often in summers that we must curb the consumption of appliances to ensure the electricity bill is kept under a check, the other 8 months, we are glad to pay what comes.

What if you could actually save all that money? What if we told you, from next month, you can reduce your electricity bill by at least 90%? Not a fantasy, this is possible if you go with a rooftop solar system on your homes. With large roofs and a very favorable climate with more than 300 sunny clear days in Lucknow, rooftop solar is a fantastic savings solution. Not only do you make a positive contribution to the environment, you also save massively on your electricity bill.

Let's elucidate our point, with an example. Say, you stay in an independent home in Gomti Nagar in Lucknow and pay Rs 8,000 on your electricity bill. This makes your yearly expense on the electricity bill alone to be Rs 96,000, almost a lakh. Using the MYSUN Solar Calculator, the most accurate yet easy to use Solar calculator, we found out that with Net Metering, your recommended solar system size would be about 9 kW. This would bring down your electricity bill from Rs 8000 per month to only Rs 948 giving you a saving of Rs 7,052 every month. That equates to roughly Rs 85,000 saved every year. When you go solar, the return on your investment comes to be about 19.6%, which is almost three times of what you get on FDs today. Isn't this an awesome deal?

What's more is that if you decide to go solar with MYSUN, you also get to build your own payment plan under the MYSUN Flexi-Pay scheme where you have the option of also purchasing the system at no downpayment at all. With a World-Class service, top quality Internationally A rated solar equipment, with MYSUN, you are in very safe hands. We understand that every roof in Lucknow is different and have executed several projects in your neighborhood already. So, without waiting any further, go ahead and e-mail to us on [email protected] or simply call us on 9873167009 and start your solar journey in Lucknow.
