Many know of a home solar system as something that helps us substitute a part of our grid energy with cheaper rooftop solar energy. Well, there is nothing wrong with that. But technology is changing very rapidly.

There is a lot of engineering involved in designing the right solar system for individual homeowners, starting with a correct assessment of their existing energy consumption patterns, their roof profile, sun’s shadowing profile across different weathers on your roof, etc. to name only a few.

With increasing awareness around rooftop solar and a lot of use-case experiences and learnings, consumers are now demanding superior solar technology and committed long-term solar partners who have the requisite engineering and customer support infrastructure. Customers are no longer going for the cheapest solar system available as they have learnt their lessons in a hard way.

Meet Mr.Likhari (name used with permission) who lives in a high-rise luxury apartment in Greater Noida. Equipped with a general understanding that grid tariffs are high and will continue to go up, he chose to go solar. As the building had pre-paid meters installed by the builder, he could not opt for Net-Metering. This meant that the system design had to take care of his winter and summer energy consumption patterns while ensuring that there is no loss to him on account of excess solar energy being lost or being fed back to the grid.

MYSUN engineering and design team helped him with a smart hybrid solar system with the following key benefits:

- Seamless automatic switchover with Grid and Diesel Generator (backup power)

- Pre-enabled for future integration with Storage systems (batteries)

- In-built reverse flow protection (so that excess solar energy is not fed back to the grid)

- Sleek compact wall-hanging futuristic design with enhanced mobile app-based monitoring

Once installed and with a few months of excellent experience and MYSUN’s analysis of his energy generation and consumption data, he decided to buy MYSUN’s advanced Li-Ion solar batteries with an in-built battery management system. It’s been a few months and Mr.Likhari is smiling all the way to the bank. Why? Because for a couple of months now, he has not had the need to recharge his electricity meter with his RWA. Most of his apartment’s load is running through solar (directly during the day) and indirectly (through batteries) during the night.

We congratulate Mr.Likhari on his decision to go solar with technologically superior products which are customized to his needs and are also flexible for future expansion. Simultaneously, it makes us feel proud to be an Energy Transition Solar Partner for consumers like him and thousands of others.

This Monsoon, we bring cheer to thousands of solar system homeowners in Delhi NCR. We are opening our special solar performance-enhancing services to non-MYSUN clients too.

The concept is that in the future when non-renewable energy sources are nearly depleted, converting to solar energy will not simply be a choice, but a necessity. Going towards solar energy is also quite beneficial in a variety of ways, so why not? Furthermore, as a good Indian citizen, you should support the country in its endeavours to increase its energy security and reduce its import bills. This is how you will not only contribute to making Mother Earth sustainable, but you will also get various benefits that you may not be aware of. The top advantages of turning to solar energy in India will be discussed in this post. So, let us see why Delhi/NCR farmhouses should go all solar.

1: Lower Electricity Bills

Switching to solar energy would not only help you address the electricity supply issue, but it will also save you a lot of money on your energy bills. In India, the cost of power is steadily rising. The more you rely on solar power, the less electricity you'll need to purchase from the power company. India has already progressed to the stage that using solar to meet everyday electricity needs is no longer a problem and is actually far cheaper than buying electricity from the grid. Furthermore, the country offers a high rate of return on investment, providing you with greater financial stability.

2: Upturned Property Value

The lower electric bills that come with a solar installation might increase the value of your home. When leasing, selling or renting a property with solar panels installed, you can demand a higher price and conclude the deal faster than if the same property did not have solar panels installed. So, if you want to increase the value of your home, convert it to solar energy. Get rooftop solar installed for your Farmhouse. 

3: Good looking solar pergolas

With the recent launch of its solar pergolas (called Arbor and Cannopas), MYSUN has made your solar system much more than just a solar system. You can now literally live under the solar system - with premium / luxurious looks (in metalling or wooden finish), water-proofing, electrical wirings, and plug points, etc. the solar pergolas from MYSUN become a natural extension of your farmhouse and do not spoil the aesthetics of your farmhouse.

4: Secured Investment

Utility companies are known for their unpredictable and uneven electricity pricing, which is why their use of solar energy is on the rise. Using MYSUN’s easy-to-use and extremely detailed solar calculator you can quickly calculate how much solar energy would cost you over the next 25 years if you install it. Everything you need is your pin code and your average monthly electricity bill to use MYSUN’s solar calculator. Unlike traditional sources of electrical energy, where costs fluctuate often, switching to solar energy will allow you to estimate how much of your capital will be necessary for power bills.

5: Tax Benefits and Government Incentives

Each considerate human being and country, including India, wish to contribute to a safer and greener world. The Indian government offers a variety of tax incentives to encourage users to switch to solar energy, whether for personal or commercial purposes. Installing solar panels on your home to help you qualify for a variety of tax breaks. In addition to simple loans, electricity generation-based incentives, and the chance to sell extra electricity, the Indian government offers a variety of other solar-related incentives.

6: No Additional Space Required

In terms of rooftop solar panels, they don't require any more land and can be set up and put on nearly any type of roof. They also safeguard the roof that is installed because they cover it. So, converting to solar energy has two advantages: it requires no additional room and it protects your roof.

7: Controlled Carbon Footprint

Solar energy is an environmentally benign source of energy since it does not emit toxic gases such as CO2, which contaminate the air and have a negative influence on the climate. Consider switching your entire neighbourhood to solar energy; your surroundings will be as pure and green as a forest. As a result, you not only save money on your electric bills, but you also gain the benefit of living in a healthy environment. Indians, in particular, should seriously consider converting to solar, as their nation is among the most polluted in the world.

8: Compatible with all-climate

Installing a solar energy gadget in India is unquestionably a fantastic option because the country receives plenty of sunlight throughout the year. Solar panels, on the other hand, would be effective if the country had been cooler. Consider Germany, which, despite not receiving enough sunlight year-round, is one of the world's leaders in solar energy generation.

9: Inexhaustible Energy Source

The fact that, unlike natural gas or fossil fuels, the Sun is an unlimited source of energy is well known. You don't need to rely on fossil fuels, which aren't beneficial to the environment and are also an exhaustible form of energy, because you have such a limitless source of energy. Furthermore, India is an energy-scarce country where power generation is costly. Solar energy might be advantageous to individuals looking for a different type of energy source.

10: Low Maintenance Cost

The cheap maintenance costs for rooftop solar systems are one of the influencing aspects that are bringing everyone's attention to it. A solar installation can last up to 25 years if properly maintained, and you can save money on electricity for that long. Maintenance of your solar system made easier with MYSUN Assure - 25 yrs of service support from MYSUN

Over the last few years, at MYSUN, we have shared our views and takeaways from the Union Budget and its impact on the solar industry at large. In case you missed it, here is the blog post outlining the impact of the Union Budget of 2021 on the industry. As is the tradition on the 1st of February, the Finance Minister took the floor and announced the Budget for the Financial Year 2022/23.

The budget at large spoke of the energy transition and the need for attention towards climate change and a greener economy. The Finance Minister announced an allotment of INR 19,500 crore for production-linked incentive for manufacturing of solar modules domestically. The Finance Minister announced, "For facilitating domestic manufacturing for the ambitious goal of 280 GW (GigaWatt) of installed solar capacity by 2030, an additional allocation of Rs 19,500 crore for PLI scheme for manufacturing of high efficiency (solar) modules with a priority of fully integrate manufacturing units for polysilicon to solar PV modules will be made."

On the other hand, the budget estimated to the MNRE for 2022-23 for investment in SECI has been halved to less than INR 1,000 Cr from INR 1,800 Cr from the previous financial year. The Government will also be providing financial support for setting up of Distributed Renewable Energy projects across the border villages, aiding their electrification. The budget also saw the introduction of sovereign green bonds for funding public sector infrastructure projects.

In addition to the direct impact, there is also a substantial increase in spends on building roads, in tune of about 56%, which will definitely aid connectivity and infrastructure, allowing for faster movement of cargo across the country.

Like most budgets, it will be interesting to see the detailed implementation plan and policies that will be key towards the success of the budget. On paper, we look to be well geared towards a green economy overall.

Buying a solar system is one of the most rewarding investment decision for a business across the country. Whether you are a large corporation or a small to medium-size enterprise, going solar saves Lakhs of Rupees on power bills every month, thus optimizing a business’s operating expenses. However, when it comes to going solar, there are still apprehensions which give way to excuses and thus delaying the decision. Here are the answers to some of the top reasons that some of our clients had before they got in touch with us and decided to Go Solar. Today, all of them are proud of their decision and are making their business financially stronger with each passing day.

1.‘Going Solar can’t Possibly Save Lakhs on Power Bills Every year’

One of the major suspicions that business leaders have is the savings potential that going solar offers on their monthly power bills. The amount might seem unrealistic, but it is indeed true - going solar does save lakhs on power bills every year. With a well-optimized solar system, the savings can be up to 80% of the monthly electricity bills. MYSUN clients are a testament to this. Here is a video of a MYSUN client who is saving 190 Lakh rupees on power bills every year.

To know the estimated savings potential of your business you can run the MYSUN Solar Calculator now.

2.‘Solar Systems are too Costly. And our Business doesn't have any Surplus Budget right now.’

Solar systems do require a sizable investment. But with the various solar financing solutions now available with MYSUN, going solar is surprisingly affordable for businesses of any size. Your business can either choose to pay for the capital cost of the solar system upfront or defer the cost in easy instalments with MYSUN DPA (Deferred Payment Agreement Plan). Since the instalments under MYSUN DPA are always less than or equal to the savings your business will make after going solar, your business in a way pays for the system by paying nothing more than its current monthly electricity bill amount. And after the system cost breaks even in 4~5 years, the electricity generated by the system is available to your business virtually for free.

If not MYSUN DPA, your business can also avail a solar loan from numerous MYSUN Partner Banks/NBFCs. With MYSUN’s Power Purchase Agreement facility, your business can even opt to go solar without actually buying the solar system. You can know more about these financing solutions by submitting a request on MYSUN’s solar financing solutions page.

3.‘Going solar will need a lot of planning and evaluation. We don't have the bandwidth to go solar now.’

Transforming your business into a solar-powered organization might seem like a lot of work. With MYSUN all you need to do is express your interest in solarizing your organization and our team of solar experts and advisors will take care of the rest. From assessing the solar potential of your business through a series of highly advanced tests to identifying the feasibility of solar installation as per the unique architecture of your business unit. From designing the most optimum solar system as per your business’s power requirements to installing and maintaining the solar system for the complete 25 years of your business’s solar journey; Our team of solar experts ensures you have a wonderful solar journey. With our innovative solar financing solutions we make your solar journey affordable and thus offer you personalised solar solutions.

4.‘Business is tough and therefore going solar is not our priority right now.’

The economic challenge that the pandemic has brought upon us is no secret. It has affected every business under the sun. However, as the market is gradually opening up there lies immense opportunity ahead of us. And if coming out of this as a winner and increasing profits exponentially is your business's priority then Going Solar is your business's priority. The savings that your business will make after going solar will help it reduce its operational expenditure and increase its profit margins. This will be worth its weight in gold in these challenging times. Many of our clients have been able to navigate through these difficult times by saving handsomely on their operational expenses thanks to solar.

5.‘There are too many solar installers. It is too confusing to decide.’

Solar systems have a life of over 25 years. Therefore it is incredibly important to choose the right solar partner who can offer your business a quality service for 25 years. Committed to a ‘quality-first’ approach, MYSUN offers premium components and robust service and maintenance solutions to keep your solar system’s performance optimum during its lifetime. Being driven by technology, MYSUN also offers advanced technology solutions such as remote monitoring and robotic cleaning, delivering the latest innovations to your rooftop.

In March 2018, MYSUN commissioned a 231kW rooftop solar project for a Label Printing company based out in Gurgaon. Post commissioning, the owners of the company saw a dramatic reduction on their monthly electricity bills and estimated to save over 7 cores on their power expenditures throughout the 25 years of their solar journey. Installing this solar system proved so beneficial that the owners decided to expand their installed solar capacity by installing 119kW more. Now they stand to save more than 15 crore rupees with solar in this 25 year period.

With the above example, it is easy to access the viability of solar for any business in India. But other than this, what are the other specific reasons that signal towards the viability of solar for businesses based out in Punjab, which finds itself in close proximity of Gurgaon, Haryana? Let’s take a look at them down below:

1. Solar Energy Potential of Punjab

Punjab lies in the same geography as Haryana and experiences from 230 to 300 sunny days in a year. That gives enough sunny hours per year for businesses based out in the state to generate electricity from solar for all their power needs. The potential of solar in the state can also be understood from the solar installation target set by the state. As per a renewable energy policy draft proposed by the government of Punjab in October 2019, the state is eyeing at installing a total of 3000 MW of solar power projects by the year 2030.

You can run the MYSUN Solar Calculator now and check the solar potential of your business in Punjab today.

2. Increase in of Solar Energy Installation Capacity in Punjab

The solar energy installation in the state of Punjab has been at a consistent rise across sectors since 2012. As per this tracker, the state has witnessed over a 100x growth in the installed capacity of rooftop solar systems; from zero in 2010 to 136.4 MW till 2019. Given that solar systems require sizable investment and that the cost of going solar was way higher ten years ago than what it is today, this growth in capacity demonstrates the acceptance of solar by the consumers in the state and its benefits being experienced by them.

3. Favourable Solar Policy of the State

Like most Indian states, Punjab has a very favourable solar policy for its commercial and industrial power consumers. Punjab’s Solar Policy qualifies its commercial and industrial consumers who go solar, to avail 40% accelerated depreciation on the solar system cost. The policy also allows custom and excise duty concession on solar equipment and a 10 year tax holiday on solar projects. The policy gives an avenue of a solar loan of up to INR 15 Crore for renewable energy projects under the priority sector lending. With the state's net-metering policy, businesses can also sell the excess generated electricity to the DISCOM as per the specific tariff rate defined in the policy.

4. Frequently Increasing Electricity Tariff in Punjab

Electricity tariffs follow the upward trend and it has been increasing in Punjab as well. As per media reports of January 2020, the Punjab State Power Corporation Limited has filed a petition with the state power regulator seeking a 14% hike in electricity tariff for consumers in the state. The hike is likely to be announced in the upcoming month of April 2020. A similar hike of approx. 2.15% was imposed just last year affecting consumers across categories. Tariff increases, even by a minimum percentage, might not affect domestic consumers by much, but owing to the high power consumption of commercial and industrial categories, they increase electricity expenditures by lakhs every year. Thus, impacting the bottom line as well. Going solar freezes such tariffs hikes, giving business owners some stability in business expenses.

5. Positive Growth Potential for Businesses in Punjab

As per a report from the Indian Brand Equity Foundation, Punjab has the easiest procedures to set up a business. It is a key hub for textile-based industries including yarn, readymade garments and hosiery. Its capital city Chandigarh has evolved to be a top spot for the booming IT and Education industries in the state and its cities like Mohali, Ambala, Panchkula, etc has become a fertile place for SMEs and MSMEs of every category. With the state's annual GDP of around 6%, the state has a lot to offer as an opportunity for business enterprises. And as businesses grow in the state, power will become a crucial expenditure. With solar, businesses can save up to 80% of this expenditure and use those savings to speed up their growth further.

“Going solar is a viable investment opportunity, but currently, my business is not in a position to freeze a fraction from the Working Capital in a solar system”.

This is exactly how plenty of our conversations with business leaders would go, a couple of years ago. We have in fact, in the past been quite vocal about the need for strong financing in order to make a good business case for the C&I segment to go solar. This would eventually prove to be the launchpad of MYSUN Deferred Payment Agreement (DPA). Conceived with MYSUN’s core vision to make Solar financially viable and easy for every business and industry in India, MYSUN DPA allows Businesses to transition to solar with easy monthly instalments.

We have shared the details of the features and functions of DPA in our recent blog post, titled - MYSUN Pioneers Rooftop Solar Financing; Actively Helping Industries Go Solar. Post the release of the article, we received a lot of interest and queries from business leaders seeking to know how the Deferred Payment Agreement works? With this article, we will try and explain the working of the MYSUN Deferred Payment Agreement with the help of an illustration.

Instalments Your Business Pays with MYSUN Deferred Payment Agreement

The Deferred Payment Agreement from MYSUN distributes the total cost of the solar systems in “Easy Monthly Instalments”. But what good is an instalment if it disturbs your working capital by even the slightest? The MYSUN DPA (Deferred Payment Agreement), therefore, keeps these ‘easy instalments’ less than or equal to the savings that your business will make with solar every month; allowing your business to afford solar easily without disturbing your financial standing.

For example, you were to install a 560 kWp solar system worth crores in Haryana, which has the potential to save your business around INR 5.8 Lakhs on power bills every month.



With the MYSUN Deferred Payment Agreement, you can have the solar system installed and just pay INR 35-44 Lakh (20-25% of the solar system cost) as a down payment. The balance amount can be paid in monthly instalments, ranging between INR 5.8 Lakhs for a period of 2.2 to 2.5 years. As the instalments in MYSUN DPA will always be less than or equal the monthly savings from solar (which should be less than or equal to INR 5.8 Lakhs in this case), the solar system ends up paying for itself.

As you can see, MYSUN Solar Financing brings solar systems within the budget of any small, medium or large enterprise. It allows businesses to pay just a fraction of the amount upfront and the solar system eventually pays for itself. With such a handy option on the table, you will agree that there is no right reason for your or any business for that matter to not go solar. Call our solar advisors now on +91 8448380218 or write to them on [email protected] to get your personalised solar proposal under the MYSUN Deferred Payment Agreement.

 

Since you are reading this blog post, we are sure you already are well aware of the benefits of solar and are at a stage of considering going solar. Before you decide to go solar there are three key things that you must absolutely consider:

1. Accurately predict the generation potential of your site
2. Understand and seek flexible payment/ loan for the solar system
3. Short list the ‘right solar PV installer and partner’ for you

With the MYSUN Solar Calculator, you can achieve the accurate generation prediction within seconds. Under MYSUN Flexi-Pay^TM and MYSUN Deferred Payment, you can always opt for flexible payments for your solar system. You may want to give a call to our customer delight team on +91 9873167009 to know more.

This blog post dives deep into how should one go about selecting their perfect rooftop solar installer - a solar partner. Choosing the right solar installation company is absolutely critical because going solar is a decision that you have to stand by for the next 25 years. Not only should the solar installer be experienced, well connected and well equipped, but also must stand by the warranties/ guarantees and stand with you for the life of the solar system. A well-reputed solar PV installer as your solar partner will ensure you are well informed and make choices that are in the best economic interests for you rather than seek an interest of its own. The longevity and reliability of your solar system rests solely on the shoulders of your solar installer and this is why this choice becomes a difference between you saving a few Lakh Rupees a year and a Lakh and some more.

So whether you are considering installing a solar system at an industry or your home, you should follow the guidelines below to make an informed choice, and handpick the right rooftop solar PV system installer.

Here are the five things that you must look for before choosing a solar installation company:

1. Existing projects done by the solar PV installer in your region

When choosing your solar installer assessing the local presence of the installer should be your priority. A solar installer with a strong local presence will not only be able to install your solar system with no delay, but will also be able to provide you with a rigorous after-sales service. And since going solar is at least a 25-year long investment, a diligent servicing is more than mandatory. Having your installer at an approachable distance will ensure even minor breakages are attended to in time and your solar system uptime is optimum.

Studying the size and number of projects completed by the installer in your region is therefore necessary. When selecting your solar installer, do not be afraid to ask for a visit to one of the installed systems by them in your local region so that you can see and get a sense of the engineering and civil work.

2. Team background and engineering expertise of the solar PV installer

The engineering behind your solar system dictates not just the savings that you stand to make on your power bills after installing a solar system but also the overall life of your solar system. Power generation from a solar system is dependent on numerous factors, such as the geographical location of your site, the solar irradiance at your location, the shadowing objects on your rooftop and the power requirements of your building. Hence, an optimally performing solar system is a product of precise engineering; taking into account all the aforementioned influencing factors. Unlike a lot of engineering subjects, a good engineering is a product of not just good knowledge but also on-field experience. A lot of practical situations and issues can be tackled best by an engineering team that has been setting up projects daily.

Therefore, a thorough background check on the solar installing company’s past experience and engineering expertise of the team is advised. It will give you a snapshot of the team’s capabilities, giving you a delivery assurance of a high performing solar system.

3. Relationship of the Solar PV installer with top of the line suppliers and vendors

A famous saying in English, ‘you are known by the company you keep’ is perfectly apt here. A solar installer/partner who deals in the most premium segment with the best vendors and suppliers not only will ensure you get top of the line and latest technology but also will get them to you at the market-beating prices. A good solar installer will have a long-standing relationship with these top of the line vendors which would enable them to also stand by the warranties and guarantees efficiently. The direct benefit of a good working relationship between the supplier and solar partner will be extremely beneficial both at the time of installation as well as in the after-sales where replacements can be managed quickly. Do ask your solar partner for who their suppliers and vendors are to get a clear idea.

4. Flexible financing and necessary guarantees/ warranties offered by the Solar Installer
