What Is Solar Hosting?

You make your rooftop available for solar installation. PowerNetPro handles everything — design, procurement, installation, grid connectivity, maintenance. You consume the electricity and pay a pre-agreed rate significantly below grid tariffs.

The Economics: 100 kW Host Example

Monthly generation: ~15,000 units

Your cost: 15,000 × ₹11 = ₹1,65,000

Previous grid cost: 15,000 × ₹18 = ₹2,70,000

Monthly savings: ₹1,05,000

Annual savings: ₹12,60,000 — with ZERO investment

Who Can Be a Host?

Commercial offices, industrial facilities, housing societies, retail malls, warehouses, hospitals, hotels, educational institutions — any property with adequate shadow-free rooftop, structural integrity, and DISCOM connection.

How to Become a Host: 7 Steps

  1. Express interest through powernetpro.com or sales team
  2. Site assessment: Technical team evaluates your rooftop
  3. Financial proposal: Projected generation, per-unit cost, savings
  4. Agreement: 15-year hosting agreement signed
  5. Installation: EPC partner installs (4–8 weeks for 100 kW)
  6. Commissioning: Grid connectivity and net metering processed
  7. Start saving: Day one — solar electricity at lower tariff
