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
- PowerNetPro installs solar on your society rooftop — zero cost
- Society consumes solar electricity for common areas
- Pay ₹10–12/unit instead of ₹18–20 grid rate
- All maintenance handled by PowerNetPro
- 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
