Lower common-area electricity bills
We size the system around lifts, pumps, lighting, treatment equipment, clubhouse loads, and other shared services to reduce grid purchases on the relevant connections.
Housing Society Solar
Solar Power for Your Entire Community
Lower common bills. Power shared spaces. Build a better-managed community asset.
Paso Solar designs and installs rooftop systems for apartment associations. We assess common-area loads, eligible connection arrangements, shared roof space, and electrical conditions, then deliver a committee-ready proposal and coordinated installation.
Society Outcomes
What your society gets from a well-planned system
The value comes from matching shared generation to shared electricity use and managing the asset properly.
GNM for society common areas
Where participating common-area meters are registered in the same legal name of the society or RWA, we assess Group Net Metering eligibility for one shared solar plant.
VNM for eligible flat connections
Where generation is intended for allocation among separate eligible flat-owner connections, we assess the current Virtual Net Metering route and allocation requirements.
Subsidy and incentive guidance
We check whether the applicant, connection category, and proposed system fit a current government scheme before including any incentive in the committee's financial case.
Ready for shared EV charging
If you plan shared charging points, we work out how they fit with the solar design and how much daytime charging can run on solar.
A community asset that stays managed
Clear records, monitoring access, and a defined upkeep plan so the association can look after the system properly for years.
A proposal the committee can act on
Drawings, equipment details, what is included and excluded, and the assumptions behind the numbers, not just a headline capacity.
Performance you can see
Monitoring lets your facility team check generation and spot when something needs attention.
Clear service and AMC options
Handover, warranty support, maintenance visits, response times, exclusions, and charges are all written into the scope you sign.
Connection structure
The right solar arrangement for your apartment
We identify whether the project serves one common connection, several RWA-held common meters, or eligible individual flat connections.
One common connection
We design one plant around the association meter serving lifts, pumps, common lighting, treatment systems, or other shared facilities.
Group Net Metering (GNM)
For common-area electricity, GNM may allow one plant to serve multiple eligible meters registered under the exact same legal name of the society or RWA. We verify the current DISCOM requirements.
Virtual Net Metering (VNM)
For eligible individual flat-owner connections, VNM may allocate generation from the shared plant using an approved ratio and metering arrangement. We verify current eligibility and documentation.
Utility procedures can change. Paso Solar verifies current connection eligibility, metering, allocation, documentation, and approval requirements with the relevant DISCOM for the proposed GNM or VNM structure.
What size system does a society need?
System size comes from common electricity use and usable roof area, not a fixed package based on flat count.
Single-building society
We match the relevant common meter and recurring shared loads with a safe, accessible rooftop layout.
One clear design and installation scope
Multi-block apartment
We assess each block, roof, connection, and load, then design one coordinated project or practical installation phases.
Coordinated design across blocks
Large community
We map common facilities, treatment systems, amenities, electrical rooms, roof zones, and defined future loads into a scalable system plan.
Scalable generation and monitoring
What can apartment solar support?
The assessment starts with shared loads connected to the project meter.
Water pumps
Lifts
Common-area lighting
Security systems
STP and water treatment
Clubhouse facilities
Parking-area services
Shared EV charging
The final scope depends on which loads share the selected connection and when they operate. Listing a load does not mean every project will include it.
Before the committee decides
What the numbers in your proposal mean
Every figure is worked out for your association, not copied from a sample project.
Current common-area electricity cost
Taken from your recent bills for the connections in the project.
Expected yearly generation and use
Based on the surveyed roof layout, our stated assumptions, and how your shared loads run.
Full project cost
Broken down by equipment, structure, safety gear, installation, any preparation work, and what is excluded.
Payback estimate
Worked out from the documented cost and savings, with the uncertainty shown honestly.
Solar Site Survey
Your roof stays a working part of the building after solar goes up. We keep the essential access clear and design the layout so it can be maintained for years.
- Usable panel area and shade
- Access to tanks, stairs, services, and fire routes
- Roof condition and planned repairs
- Where the inverter and electrical equipment will sit
- Safe routes for moving material during installation
- Cabling, earthing, and safety equipment
What the proposal spells out
Two quotes with the same capacity can be very different projects. Ours shows the design basis, who is responsible for what, and exactly what the price does and does not cover.
- The meter and bill period the system is sized for
- A marked panel layout, with excluded roof areas shown
- The equipment and safety scope
- Any civil or electrical work needed first
- Approval assumptions and exclusions
- The installation plan and how residents are kept informed
- Monitoring, handover, warranty, and support
Apartment solar questions
What electricity use can apartment solar address?
We look at the shared connection and the loads on it — pumps, lifts, lighting, security, treatment plants, clubhouse, and so on. Individual flat consumption stays separate unless an eligible arrangement is being worked out.
Can one apartment solar plant serve several electricity connections?
Yes, where the applicable arrangement is approved. We assess GNM when common-area meters are held in the same legal name of the society or RWA, and VNM when generation is intended for allocation among eligible individual flat-owner connections. We verify current DISCOM eligibility, metering, allocation, and documentation before design.
Can system size be estimated from the number of flats?
No. Flat count does not show common electricity use. Representative bills, load schedules, connection details, and usable roof area provide a better sizing basis.
What does Paso Solar include in the committee proposal?
One document with the project boundary, the connections it serves, the roof layout, the design, the full cost with exclusions, the work plan, your points of contact, and the monitoring and maintenance options.
Can apartment solar provide backup during a power cut?
A standard on-grid plant normally shuts down during an outage. Backup requires a separate assessment of essential common loads, required duration, battery space, controls, and operating responsibility.
What does Paso Solar provide after commissioning?
We provide the relevant project records, operating guidance, monitoring access, shutdown instructions, warranty information, and the agreed process for reporting faults or arranging maintenance.
Quality Standards
- We pick panels and inverters that suit your roof and budget, not just the cheapest option.
- Mounting, wiring, and safety checks are done properly, never rushed.
- You get clear documents showing exactly what was designed and installed.
- Full records are handed over so any future service is easy.
Safety Standards
- We plan for electrical safety before any work begins.
- Earthing and safety devices are checked and verified.
- Our team follows safe practices while working on your roof.
- Everything is tested before the system goes live.
Warranty and Support
- Panel and inverter warranties come directly from the manufacturer, confirmed in writing before installation.
- Our own installation work is covered too, with the terms clearly written in your project document.
- We offer maintenance plans to keep your system running well for years.
- You get all warranty paperwork once the system is commissioned.
