Commercial and Industrial Solar EPC in Greater Noida

Solar built for Greater Noida’s industrial estates

Greater Noida runs on manufacturing. Across Kasna (Sites IV, V, B and C), Ecotech I to XII, Surajpur, Udyog Vihar, Knowledge Park and the newer Yamuna Expressway (YEIDA) zones, thousands of units draw industrial power from NPCL at roughly Rs 8 to 9 a unit. A well designed rooftop plant brings the levelised cost of that electricity down to about Rs 2.18 a unit across the plant’s full 25-year life, and after the payback period the generation is very nearly free.

We are based in the same belt, at Kasna Site 5, and that is not a small thing. It means a survey in days rather than weeks, approvals through the local NPCL office we already deal with, and a crew that can be at your plant when something needs fixing instead of driving in from another city. The plants that quietly lose output over the years are usually the ones nobody can reach quickly.

What a commercial solar project actually involves

A solar plant on a working factory is an engineering project, not a product you buy off a shelf. This is the sequence we follow on every site, and where we do the work so you do not have to.

1. Site survey and feasibilityWe measure your shadow-free roof or ground area, study your last twelve months of bills, your sanctioned load and your consumption pattern, and tell you the realistic plant size and the honest savings, not an optimistic brochure figure.
2. Structural assessmentTin sheet, RCC or an ageing roof each behaves differently under a solar array. We check whether the structure can carry the load, and where it cannot we design lightweight, elevated or carport-mounted alternatives instead of forcing it.
3. System designSingle line diagram, protection design, string layout, inverter or PCU selection and a yield simulation for your exact location, so the plant is sized to your load rather than to a round number.
4. Procurement and bill of materialsModules, inverters or hybrid PCUs, mounting structure, cabling and protection, specified and documented. We explain the Non-DCR and DCR module choice (below) so you buy the right panel for your situation, not the most expensive one.
5. DISCOM liaisoning and CEIG approvalWe handle the NPCL net-metering application and the Chief Electrical Inspector (CEIG UP) safety approval end to end. On our on-grid pricing this liaisoning is already included.
6. Installation without stopping productionWork is planned around your production schedule, including weekends and non-peak hours. Zero-disruption installation is written into the contract.
7. Testing, commissioning and handoverFull electrical testing, thermography, performance checks, as-built documentation and a remote monitoring dashboard so you can watch generation live from day one.
8. Operation and maintenanceOptional AMC and CAMC packages with cleaning, monitoring, thermography and performance guarantees. A plant only still earns its keep in year ten if it was built properly and looked after since.

The NPCL and CEIG approval path, handled for you

The paperwork is where many commercial solar projects stall. In the Greater Noida licence area the two approvals that matter are net metering with NPCL and electrical safety clearance from the Chief Electrical Inspector to Government, Uttar Pradesh.

• NPCL net metering: feasibility application, technical sanction, agreement and the bidirectional meter that lets you bank surplus units against your consumption.
• CEIG UP safety approval: drawings, earthing and protection compliance and inspection before the plant is energised. This is a legal requirement, not an optional step.
• Included in our on-grid scope: we prepare, submit and follow up both, so your team is not chasing files. This is part of why our on-grid price is quoted as all-inclusive.

Indicative pricing for Greater Noida

Real numbers, so you can judge the investment before you call. These are starting prices for typical configurations. Your final figure depends on your site, which we confirm after a free survey.

What moves the final price

• Module choice, Non-DCR or DCR: Non-DCR modules (globally sourced cells) are the cost-effective choice for a straight commercial CAPEX plant and are what the prices above assume. DCR modules (Domestic Content Requirement, cells and modules made in India) are needed only if you are claiming a government subsidy or a scheme that mandates them, and they cost more. We fit the panel to your goal, not the other way round.
• Roof type and height: tin sheet, RCC and elevated or carport structures carry different material and labour costs.
• Cable runs and plant-room distance: a long run from the array to the LT panel adds cable and losses.
• Structural strengthening: an older roof may need reinforcement before it can carry an array safely.
• Battery sizing on hybrid systems: backup duration and the depth of peak shaving you want change the battery size, which is the largest single cost in a hybrid plant.

The commercial case, in plain terms

• A 25-year levelised cost of energy (LCOE, the average cost of each unit across the full life of the plant, with the capital and the upkeep both counted in) of about Rs 2.18 a unit for an on-grid plant, against Rs 8 to 9 a unit from the grid. That is the honest lifetime figure, not just the cost after payback.
• Typical CAPEX payback of about 3.5 to 4 years at Greater Noida industrial tariffs, then roughly 20 more years of near-free generation.
• Accelerated depreciation is available to companies on solar assets, which shortens the effective payback further. Confirm the current rate and your position with your accountant.
• Solar module performance is warranted for 25 years, so the asset outlives its payback several times over.

Own it, or pay nothing upfront

Every proposal we prepare shows both routes for your exact consumption, so the decision is a financial one rather than a guess.

We arrange the zero-investment route through established financing partners. Which one suits you comes down to your balance sheet and whether you want to own the asset, and we will put both in front of you and say plainly which we think fits.
