Lower energy charges
Every unit your roof generates during the shift is a unit you do not buy at the industrial tariff. The estimate shows the exact bills, tariff slab, and load behind it.
Industrial Solar
Cut Your Plant's Power Bill with Solar
Lower energy charges. Trim demand charges. Fix a large part of your power cost for years.
A factory or warehouse roof running a steady daytime load is one of the strongest cases for solar. Paso Solar builds the proposal around your actual bills, demand, power factor, and shifts, so the savings estimate is one you can check line by line.

What Changes
What solar changes for a plant
On an industrial connection the saving comes from three parts of the bill, not one.
Lower demand charges
The demand charge is a monthly fixed cost based on the peak power you draw. A system that generates through your peak hours can bring the recorded demand down.
A better power factor
Modern inverters can supply reactive power, which can lift your power factor and reduce or remove the low-PF penalty, depending on your DISCOM's tariff and load.
Accelerated depreciation
Solar currently qualifies for up to 40% depreciation in the first year. For a profit-making business this is a large first-year tax shield that shortens the payback. Your tax adviser confirms what applies.
One plant for all your connections
Group Net Metering can let a single system serve every eligible connection held in your company's name, so one plant reduces several bills.
A power cost that stops moving
Industrial tariffs are revised most years. The share of your power that comes from your own roof is not subject to those revisions, which makes budgeting easier.
Best-Fit Plants
Where solar makes the biggest difference
The more of your load that runs while the sun is up, the more a system takes off the bill.
Textile and spinning mills
Ring frames, humidification plant, and compressors run a heavy, continuous daytime load, which solar offsets as it is generated.
Foundries and forging units
Induction furnaces, blowers, and machine tools draw a large steady load in daylight, and the demand charge and power-factor penalty are usually big enough for solar to act on both.
Food processing and cold storage
Refrigeration, boilers, and packing lines carry the cost through the day. Solar covers a real share while the sun is up; overnight holding still uses the grid.
Pharma and bulk drug
HVAC, chillers, and cleanroom plant keep a large daytime base load, so generation is used the moment it is produced.
Plastics and injection moulding
Moulding machines and chillers run steadily through the shift, a clean match for a rooftop system.
Engineering and auto components
Machine shops, paint booths, and compressed air on one or two daytime shifts use most of the generation directly.
These are typical patterns, not a promise. Your actual offset depends on your bills, tariff, roof or land, and how your load sits across the day, all of which we check before quoting a figure.
Solar Site Survey
An industrial roof carries real load and real risk. We finish these checks before we put a capacity or a cost in front of you.
Your bills and load pattern
Energy charges, demand charge, power factor, and how the load sits across your shifts.
Whether the roof can take it
Load-bearing margin, sheet and purlin condition, wind loading, and waterproofing, checked before anything is mounted.
Shade through the year
We model shading across the seasons so panels go where they will actually generate.
System size and layout
Capacity, inverter sizing, and string design worked out for your site and connection.
Connecting to the grid
Protection, transformer headroom, metering, and coordination with the DISCOM.
Safety
Earthing, lightning protection, DC and AC isolation, and fire safety.
How much space you need
A rough planning figure for rooftop or ground mount. It is not a quote for your site.
Typical areaAbout 90 to 110 sq ft per kW
Roof load bearingAssessed on site before design
Ground-mount optionFor adjacent open land where the roof is limited
Final area and yield depend on the module type, shading, tilt, and row spacing.
What is in the proposal
We define the scope in writing, with the design assumptions, the equipment, the responsibilities, and the support all set out so you can compare it against any other quote.

Industrial solar questions
How is an industrial solar system sized?
From your recent electricity bills, the recorded maximum demand, the power factor, your shift pattern, and the usable roof or land. A system is sized around the load that runs in daylight, not the size of the shed or a standard per-shift figure.
Can one plant serve several factory connections?
Group Net Metering may apply where one eligible consumer holds several qualifying connections, so a single plant can reduce more than one bill. We review ownership, consumer category, plant location, allocation, metering, and current DISCOM requirements before including it.
Does solar reduce demand charges as well as energy charges?
It can. Your bill has an energy charge for the units you use and a demand charge for the maximum power you draw in a month. Solar cuts the first directly, and by generating through your peak hours it can bring down the recorded demand as well. We show both separately in the estimate.
Can a factory claim accelerated depreciation?
Solar qualifies for accelerated depreciation, currently up to 40% in the first year under the Income Tax rules, which a profit-making business can set against tax and which shortens the effective payback. Treatment depends on the entity, ownership, use, and commissioning date, so we give your tax adviser the project details to confirm.
Will installation interrupt production?
Normal daytime work continues through most of the build. The grid tie-in and commissioning need a short shutdown, which we schedule with your team, usually into a planned maintenance window.
What support is available after commissioning?
We hand over drawings, test and commissioning records, monitoring access, and operating guidance, and offer preventive maintenance. Response times, replacement cover, exclusions, and charges are set out in the project or AMC scope.
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.
