Housing society solar

Put the common roof
to common benefit.

A coordinated solar plan for lifts, pumps, lighting and other common-area loads—built around the society’s bills, roof, approvals and operating schedule.

Who this is for

Apartment buildings, cooperative housing societies and residential complexes with shared roof space and a common-area electricity connection.

Why solar makes sense

01

Lower common-area bills

Solar can offset daytime demand from lifts, water pumps, lighting, security systems and shared amenities.

02

One coordinated project

We bring roof assessment, system design, metering requirements and execution into one proposal for committee review.

03

Use shared space productively

The plan balances usable roof area with tanks, services, access paths, shade and future maintenance needs.

Recommended starting point

Usually on-grid, sized to common-area demand.

The starting point is normally an on-grid system connected to the society’s common meter. Backup is assessed separately because battery size and cost depend on the loads the society wants to support.

Financial planning

Build the committee’s decision case clearly.

A society proposal should show the usable roof, recommended capacity, expected generation range, project scope and assumptions in language every committee member can examine.

  • Common-area connection and bill are reviewed separately from individual flats
  • Final economics depend on tariff, daytime use, roof capacity and applicable metering rules
  • Residential subsidy eligibility for group housing follows scheme-specific common-facility rules
  • A site visit is necessary before presenting a firm capacity or savings estimate

We confirm the applicable subsidy and metering pathway against the current scheme and DISCOM process before it is included in a proposal.

Questions before you start

Straight answers.
Site-specific advice.

Can solar power individual flats?+

The most straightforward society project offsets the common-area meter. Supplying or allocating energy to individual flats needs a different technical and regulatory assessment.

What should the committee prepare?+

Recent common-area bills, connection details, basic roof access information and the society’s approval process are enough to begin.

Will tanks and services reduce capacity?+

They can. We map obstructions, shade, access paths and maintenance clearances before determining usable solar area.
