If you're a commercial or industrial consumer in India exploring renewable energy options, you have three key choices. Captive renewable energy which requires at least 26% equity ownership in a PPA with a RE developer and 51% energy consumption from the plant. Group captive follows a similar model but allows multiple subsidiaries—like Infosys and its numerous entities—to jointly meet the criteria. Lastly, third-party PPAs (Power Purchase Agreements) let you buy renewable energy directly from developers without ownership, offering flexibility without upfront investment.
Here’s a simple table outlining the three renewable energy options for commercial and industrial consumers in India:
| Renewable Energy Model | Key Requirements |
|---|---|
| Captive Renewable Energy | Minimum 26% equity ownership and 51% energy consumption by the consumer. |
| Group Captive | Similar to captive but allows multiple subsidiaries (e.g., Infosys and its subsidiaries) to meet the criteria. |
| Third-Party PPA | No ownership required; energy is purchased directly from a renewable energy developer. |
🌿⚡ Breaking Free from Outdated Renewable Models! ⚡🌿
Till now, Commercial & Industrial (C&I) consumers were limited in their renewable energy vision by restricted solar ☀️ and / or wind 🌬️ deployment. This led to frustration during peak tariff hours (₹10/unit when solar doesn’t generate power (non-solar hours 🌙).
A 5MW-only solar or wind model is outdated! 🚫 It guarantees limited renewable supply—just 20% of the time for solar-only setups and 35-40% for wind-only setups.
Worse, it won’t be available when you need it the most! ⏳💰
Choose Solar ☀️ OR Wind
🔍 Free energy modelling from Path to Green Homes
Path to Green Homes will support you with hourly modeling based on the renewable load you need and estimate the ideal energy mix—from solar, wind, battery, and exchange—at no cost. For instance, if your Commercial & Industrial (C&I) setup requires a 100MW renewable load, we might propose 150MW of solar, 200MW of wind, and a 50MWh battery to meet varying demand, while tapping into the exchange for any shortfall. ♻️⚡. You dont need a $ 100k licence from Plexos to get this done and you are in much more control on back end calculations !!
🏚️ Tin roof damage from solar panels
☀️🔧 Protect Your Tin Rooftop Warranty While Going Solar 🔧☀️
No EPC ( even TATA roftop team ) will give you roof warrranty while installing solar paels. That ( huge ) risk is entirely on you.
As a C&I cosumer , apart from a PPA , you are also looking (among others) partnerships with solar + roofing companies
Roofing companies have 20 year product warranty (in line with their own construction warranty)
We can provide specialized European solutions and designs ensuring that your tin rooftop remains undamaged and its original warranty fully maintained—even with the additional load from a solar system. This approach safeguards both your clean energy goals and your roof’s long-term integrity, giving you peace of mind for years to come.
We have a patented a wind calculator which shows the pressure on your rooftop to estimate
These calculations show that based on the location of the commercial building and its attributes , it was not recomended to put solar panels on the rooftop. This was done by calculating the estimated wind pressure and the wind pressure expected to be handled by the mounting system.
