Why commercial solar in Bengaluru?
Bengaluru's commercial electricity tariff from BESCOM runs ₹7–₹9 per unit. Solar generates power at an effective cost of ₹2.5–₹3.5 per unit over 25 years. For a business consuming 2,000+ units per month, that's ₹8,000–₹12,000 in monthly savings — before depreciation benefits.
Karnataka also allows net metering for commercial installations up to 1 MW, meaning excess power generated during weekends or holidays is banked with BESCOM and adjusted against your bill.

Tax benefits for businesses
Commercial solar installations qualify for accelerated depreciation under Section 32 of the Income Tax Act — up to 40% depreciation in the first year. For a ₹20 lakh system, that's ₹8 lakh deductible from taxable income in year one alone.
Combined with energy savings and net metering credits, most commercial systems achieve payback in 3–4 years and generate free electricity for the remaining 20+ years of their life.
"We installed a 25 kW system on our warehouse in Peenya. The system paid for itself in 3.2 years. Now our electricity cost is essentially zero."
