## Industries

- **Factories & manufacturing** (50–500 kW): Factories are the strongest case for rooftop solar in the Indore region: large roofs, high daytime consumption and industrial tariffs. A factory rooftop plant of 50–500 kW in Indore, Pithampur, Sanwer Road or Dewas typically pays back in about 3–4 years, with accelerated depreciation potentially improving returns for profitable businesses. Design depends on roof type (metal sheet, RCC or asbestos), shift pattern and contract demand.
- **Warehouses & logistics** (30–300 kW): Warehouses in and around Indore have large, unshaded metal roofs that suit rooftop solar well. Where the site's own daytime load is modest, the system is sized to consumption rather than roof area to avoid exporting surplus at low value. Cold storage and temperature-controlled warehouses have steady daytime loads and see the fastest payback.
- **Schools & colleges** (20–150 kW): Schools and colleges use most of their electricity during daylight, which makes rooftop solar a strong fit. A 20–150 kW system on classroom blocks can offset a large share of the bill, and a generation display turns the system into a hands-on lesson in physics and sustainability. Vacation months produce surplus, which net metering credits against the rest of the year.
- **Hospitals & clinics** (10–200 kW): Hospitals and clinics run around the clock with a pronounced daytime peak from OPDs, diagnostics and air-conditioning. Rooftop solar offsets that daytime peak, and a hybrid design can add battery backup for critical circuits alongside existing generators and UPS systems. Clean, earthed installations with surge protection are especially important around medical equipment.
- **Hotels & restaurants** (15–150 kW): Hotels, restaurants and banquet halls in Indore carry heavy air-conditioning and kitchen loads through the afternoon, when solar output is strongest. Rooftop and car-park structures can host 15–150 kW, and elevated structures keep rooftop terraces usable for guests. Commercial tariffs mean fast payback without depending on subsidy.
- **Offices, shops & showrooms** (10–100 kW): Offices, shops and showrooms along Indore's commercial corridors — AB Road, Vijay Nagar, MG Road, Super Corridor — use electricity mostly during business hours, which matches solar generation. Systems of 10–100 kW are typical. Because commercial tariffs are higher than domestic ones, each solar unit saves more, and payback is usually about 3–4 years.

## FAQ

### Do businesses and factories get solar subsidy?

No — PM Surya Ghar subsidy is only for residential connections and housing societies. Businesses benefit instead from higher tariffs (so faster payback) and, where applicable, accelerated depreciation on solar assets. Ask your CA how it applies to you.

### Is rooftop solar worth it for a factory in Indore or Pithampur?

Usually, yes. Factories with daytime operations consume most of their solar generation on site, offsetting industrial tariffs. Typical payback is 3–4 years, and accelerated depreciation can improve returns further for profitable businesses.

### Can solar be installed on metal-sheet or asbestos roofs?

Metal-sheet roofs: yes, with clamps or short tilt legs fixed into the purlins. Asbestos-cement roofs should not be drilled; instead we design an independent structure that spans over the roof and bears on the building frame.

### What size solar plant do you install for businesses?

From 10 kW for shops and clinics to 100 kW and above for factories, hospitals and campuses. Large systems are designed around a load study so that generation matches daytime consumption.
