Why Housing Societies Should Consider Solar Hosting in 2026

Key Takeaways

  • Monthly consumption: 8,000 units at ₹18/unit = ₹1,44,000

  • After 60 kW solar: 8,000 × ₹11 = ₹88,000

The Problem: Rising Common Area Costs

Lifts, water pumps, corridor lighting, CCTV, clubhouse, parking — common area electricity at commercial tariffs (₹10–20/unit) drives maintenance charges up relentlessly. For 100–200 flats, monthly bills easily reach ₹2–5 lakhs. This cost flows directly to residents.

The Solution: Solar Hosting

  1. PowerNetPro installs solar on your society rooftop — zero cost
  2. Society consumes solar electricity for common areas
  3. Pay ₹10–12/unit instead of ₹18–20 grid rate
  4. All maintenance handled by PowerNetPro
  5. Flat owners can also reserve personal digital solar capacity

Real Example: 200-Flat Society in Pune

Monthly consumption: 8,000 units at ₹18/unit = ₹1,44,000

After 60 kW solar: 8,000 × ₹11 = ₹88,000

Monthly savings: ₹56,000

Annual savings: ₹6,72,000

15-year savings: ~₹1 crore
