When people think of solar, they often imagine homes with rooftop panels or rural farms using off-grid power. But the real game-changer? Mid-sized commercial solar projects.
In this case study, we’ll walk you through how Juyal Solar helped a local manufacturing unit in Bhopal install a 240kW solar plant — saving lakhs in annual electricity bills while simplifying government paperwork.
The Client: Local Business with High Operational Demand
Our client — a mid-sized manufacturing unit in the outskirts of Bhopal — was facing the classic commercial pain points:
- Monthly electricity bills of ₹2–3 lakhs
- Power cuts affecting production
- No clarity on available government schemes
- Rising cost of diesel backup
They wanted to switch to solar, but were overwhelmed by permissions, paperwork, and technical complexity.
That’s where Juyal Solar stepped in.
Project Scope & Goals
- ✅ Set up a 240kW rooftop solar system on the factory building
- ✅ Apply for relevant government schemes (Kusum Yojna)
- ✅ Enable net metering to maximize returns
- ✅ Ensure minimal disruption to business operations during installation
Step-by-Step Execution
Here’s how we tackled the project — from paperwork to power savings.
1. Site Assessment & Feasibility
Our team did a complete rooftop load analysis, shade assessment, and electricity audit to determine the ideal system size and inverter configuration.
✔️ Found the rooftop had excellent south-facing exposure
✔️ No structural changes were needed — reducing cost
2. Scheme Application (Kusum Yojna)
We helped the client apply for the Kusum Yojna (Component C), which supports grid-connected solar for commercial entities.
✔️ End-to-end handling of documentation and approval
✔️ Included land ownership verification, DISCOM NOC, and application tracking
✔️ Approval granted within 90 days
3. Installation & Commissioning
Once sanctioned, we began installation with:
- Tier-1 quality solar panels
- String inverters for optimized energy conversion
- Sturdy racking systems designed for long life and weather resistance
The system was commissioned in 21 working days.
4. Net Metering & Monitoring Setup
We enabled bi-directional metering and integrated a real-time monitoring system via mobile app, allowing the client to track savings and generation.
Impact & Results
Power Generation:
Average monthly generation: 30,000+ kWh (units)
Savings:
Annual electricity savings: ₹22–25 lakhs
Load reduced from grid: over 60%
Payback period: Under 3.5 years
Environmental Impact:
Annual CO2 offset: Over 280 metric tons
Equivalent to planting 7,000+ trees
“We were hesitant at first, but the team made everything effortless — from Kusum Yojna to installation. Our factory runs leaner, greener, and cheaper now.”
— Amit G., Factory Owner, Bhopal
Why This Case Matters
This project is a great example of how mid-sized commercial setups can:
- Reduce operational costs drastically
- Make use of government subsidies effectively
- Gain energy independence
- Contribute to sustainability goals
If you’re a factory owner, hotelier, or institutional operator with a flat rooftop or adjoining land — your solar journey could look exactly like this.
