What's the difference between CAPEX and OPEX solar?+
In CAPEX you buy and own the plant. In OPEX (PPA/RESCO), we own the plant and sell you only the electricity it generates. CAPEX gives you higher long-term savings but needs upfront investment. OPEX gives you cheaper power from day one with zero investment, but absolute savings are slightly lower since we recover our capital.
How much of my electricity bill can solar offset?+
Depends on available land, load profile, and local net-metering rules. Most manufacturers with adequate space can offset 30–60% of annual consumption from on-site solar. Going higher typically requires a combination of on-site solar + open access.
Is a 25-year PPA risky? What if your company shuts down?+
Three protections: (1) the plant is an asset on our balance sheet pledged to lenders; (2) India's solar PPA market has a mature secondary market — if anything happens, the plant is transferable; (3) at contract end, the plant transfers to you at a nominal value regardless. We'll share our financials and insurance policy on request.
Will solar affect my operations during installation?+
No. Roof mounting work is scheduled around your production. The electrical tie-in (the only step needing a brief shutdown) takes 2–4 hours and is scheduled on a planned maintenance day.
What happens during monsoon and cloudy days?+
Your plant still generates — just less. We design for your annual energy balance, not daily. Monsoon losses are built into our generation model. During any shortfall, your facility automatically draws from the grid; the switchover is instantaneous and invisible.
What warranty do the modules carry?+
Tier-1 modules carry a 12-year product warranty and a 25-year linear performance warranty (≥80.7% output at year 25). Inverters carry 5–10 year warranty, extendable. Mounting structures carry a 25-year structural warranty.
Can I claim carbon credits / RECs?+
Yes — in the CAPEX model, since you own the generating asset. In a PPA, environmental attributes usually stay with us unless specifically negotiated. Under India's CCTS framework, a 1 MW plant generates approximately 1,400–1,500 verified carbon credits per year.
