What is the payback period?

The payback period for industrial rooftop solar is typically around 4 to 5 years, although the exact time depends on your electricity tariff, daytime power use, system cost, and solar generation.

Factories and industrial units with high daytime electricity consumption usually see faster returns because they can use more of the solar power generated on-site. Businesses paying higher electricity tariffs may also recover their investment sooner, as every unit of solar power replaces more expensive grid electricity.

For example, an industrial unit paying around ₹7 to ₹10 per unit can often achieve an attractive payback when the solar system is correctly sized for its consumption. After the initial investment is recovered, the system can continue reducing electricity costs for many more years.
