Housing Society

Your actual savings will depend on four key factors:

1. Current electricity usage: How much energy you use now.
2. Electricity rates: The cost of electricity in your area.
3. Size of your solar system: The capacity of the solar panels you choose.
4. Your location: The amount of sunlight your area gets.

Average yearly savings to expect

Important Note: Cities like Mumbai, Delhi, and Gurgaon experience lower power generation due to high pollution and aerosols in the air.

You can expect to break even on your solar investment in about 1 to 4 years. This timeframe depends on:

• The electricity rates in your area
• The components you choose for your system

Here’s the average break-even period for a 100 kW system in cities like Mumbai, Pune, Bangalore, Delhi, Gurgaon, and Hyderabad.

Please note: This pricing is just for reference and explanation. Your actual solar price will vary based on your roof, design, components, and other factors.

To find the right size for your solar system, you need to consider three main factors:

1. Electricity Bill
   How many units do you use each month on your common area meters?
   Note: 1 kW of solar generates about 1,400 units per year.

2. Rooftop Space
   How much shadow-free rooftop space is available in your building?
   Note: 1 kW of solar requires approximately 80-100 square feet of space.

3. Discom Policy
   Your solar capacity can’t exceed your meter's sanctioned load.
   Note: Solar Capacity should be less than or equal to your Sanctioned Load (with a 50 kW limit for LT Meters).

Example:

For a housing society that consumes 35,000 units per year:

• Annual Unit Consumption: 35,000 units
• Units Generated per kW per Year: 1,400 units
• Recommended Solar System Size: 25 kW (35,000 units / 1,400 units per kW)
