Apartment dwellers: You live on the 5th floor and share a building with 200 families. No say over the rooftop. Digital solar lets you participate anyway.
Step 1: Solar Plant on a Host Property
A commercial-scale solar plant (100 kW+) is installed on a host property — a commercial building, housing society, or industrial facility. The host consumes the generated electricity and pays ₹10–12 per unit, far below their grid tariff of ₹18–20.
Step 2: Reserve Your Capacity Online
Through PowerNetPro’s platform, you browse available capacity and reserve your share (from 1.5 kW). You pay a one-time reservation of approximately ₹35,000–40,000 per kW — significantly less than ₹50,000–70,000 for traditional rooftop solar.
Step 3: Plant Generates Electricity
Once operational, IoT-enabled smart meters track generation precisely. The platform calculates your specific share based on your reserved capacity.
Step 4: Earn Credits on Your Bill
For every unit generated from your capacity, you receive ₹7 credit. These credits reduce your DISCOM electricity bill directly.
Step 5: Track Everything in Real-Time
Monitor daily generation, accumulated credits, bill savings, and CO₂ offset through the PowerNetPro dashboard — all in real time.
How Much Can You Actually Save?
Let’s run a quick example for a 2 kW reservation:
Daily generation: 2 kW × 5 units/day = 10 units
Monthly generation: 300 units
Monthly credit: 300 × ₹7 = ₹2,100
Annual savings: ₹25,200
With a one-time cost of ~₹75,000, you break even in roughly 3 years and then enjoy 12+ more years of pure savings.
Is Digital Solar Legal and Safe?
Yes. PowerNetPro operates within the Electricity Act, 2003 and state-level SERC net metering regulations. The platform does not sell electricity directly to end users. Instead, hosts consume generated electricity and pay PowerNetPro, while users receive bill credits. DISCOMs continue normal billing for everyone.
