2. Reliable & Efficient: Maintain consistent power supply for high-demand operations.
3. Sustainable Future: Lower your carbon footprint and promote eco-friendly business practices.
4. Government Incentives: Avail tax benefits, accelerated depreciation, and state subsidies.
5. Scalable & Smart Design: Systems built to grow with your business energy needs.

Cost of Commercial Solar Systems

The cost of a commercial solar system depends on factors such as system capacity, location, type of panels, and project complexity. Here’s an approximate cost overview:

1. 25 kW commercial on-grid solar system in Hyderabad: ~₹11,00,000 – ₹13,00,000 (after subsidy)
2. 50 kW commercial on-grid solar system in Pune: ~₹20,00,000 – ₹23,00,000 (after subsidy)

Note: These prices are indicative as of October 2025 and may vary depending on city, local DISCOM rates, inverter brand, mounting structure design, maintenance plans, and government subsidy availability.

Key Components of a Commercial Solar System

A commercial solar setup consists of several key components that work together to provide consistent, long-lasting performance — typically for 25 years or more with regular maintenance.

1. Solar Panels: High-efficiency photovoltaic (PV) panels are installed on rooftops or ground mounts to capture sunlight and convert it into direct current (DC) electricity. These panels are designed for industrial-grade performance and durability.
2. Solar Inverter: The inverter converts the DC power from solar panels into alternating current (AC), which powers your commercial equipment and is compatible with grid supply. Commercial inverters often include MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) for optimal energy conversion.
3. Mounting Structures: Rugged, corrosion-resistant steel or aluminum mounting systems hold the solar panels securely in place. Designed to withstand heavy winds and harsh weather, they ensure long-term stability and performance.
4. Electrical Components: Includes AC/DC cables, junction boxes, and surge protectors — all essential for safely transmitting and managing power between the panels, inverters, and grid connection.
5. Bi-Directional (Net) Meter: A smart energy meter that measures both the electricity imported from and exported to the grid. Businesses can offset their power usage by exporting surplus electricity, directly reducing operational costs.

How Does a Commercial Solar System Work?

1. Sunlight Collection: Solar panels absorb sunlight and convert it into DC electricity.
2. DC to AC Conversion: The inverter transforms DC into grid-compatible AC power suitable for industrial machinery and lighting.
3. Power Supply to Business Operations: The generated solar power directly runs your electrical systems, reducing dependency on the grid.
4. Exporting Surplus Energy: Any excess electricity produced is automatically exported back to the grid, earning credits under the Net Metering policy.
5. Grid Support During Low Production: During cloudy weather or at night, the system seamlessly imports power from the grid, ensuring uninterrupted operations.

Maintenance & Performance

Commercial solar systems require minimal maintenance. Routine cleaning and annual inspections help maintain efficiency and extend system life.
Unilux Solar provides comprehensive AMC (Annual Maintenance Contracts), including performance monitoring and preventive servicing to ensure optimal results throughout the system’s lifespan.

Best Suited For

1. Industrial units and manufacturing plants
2. Warehouses and cold storages
3. Commercial buildings and offices
4. Educational institutions and hospitals
5. Shopping malls and large retail outlets

Conclusion

Switching to a commercial solar system is not just an environmental choice — it’s a strategic business investment. With Unilux Solar’s expertise, your organization can achieve substantial cost savings, energy security, and sustainability — all while powering a brighter, cleaner future.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. What is the average payback period for a commercial solar system?
A: Most commercial solar systems offer a payback period of 3 to 5 years, depending on system size, local tariffs, and government incentives.

2. How long does a commercial solar system last?
A: A well-maintained solar system can operate efficiently for 25 years or more. Panels typically carry 25-year performance warranties.

3. Is government subsidy available for commercial installations?
A: Currently, subsidies are mostly applicable to residential consumers. However, businesses benefit from accelerated depreciation (40%), GST input credits, and reduced electricity costs — all of which make solar highly profitable.

4. How much space is needed for a commercial solar setup?
A: Approximately 100 sq. ft. per kW is needed for rooftop installations. For example, a 50 kW system would require around 5,000 sq. ft. of shade-free roof area.

5. Can the system work during power cuts?
A: A standard on-grid commercial system does not operate during power outages for safety reasons. However, hybrid or off-grid options with battery backup are available for uninterrupted power.
