Why Jaipur industrial units are switching to rooftop solar:

  • Tariff pressure: JVVNL LT-5/HT-2 commercial rates of ₹8-11/unit (incl. fuel surcharge) keep rising every FY
  • Levelised solar cost: ₹2.5-3/unit over 25 years for a well-designed 30-100 kW system
  • 40% accelerated depreciation (Income Tax Act Sec 32) — recover ~28% of project cost as year-1 tax savings for profitable units
  • GST input credit on the entire system for GST-registered businesses
  • JVVNL net metering available up to 1 MW (net billing above 500 kW)

Typical economics for a 50 kW VKI factory install:

ItemValue
Project cost₹22-25 lakh
Annual generation~75,000 units
Annual saving @ ₹9/unit₹6.7 lakh
Year-1 depreciation benefit~₹6-7 lakh (30% tax bracket)
Effective payback3.5-4 years

Note: PM Surya Ghar subsidy is residential-only — industrial units use depreciation + GST credit instead, which is usually worth more.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q.What is the payback period for industrial solar in Jaipur?

3.5-4 years for a 30-100 kW system, using 40% accelerated depreciation + GST input credit + JVVNL net metering.

A 50 kW industrial rooftop system in VKI or Sitapura costs ₹22-25 lakh, generates ~75,000 units/year and saves ₹6-7 lakh annually at JVVNL commercial tariffs of ₹8-11/unit. Adding the year-1 accelerated depreciation tax benefit (~₹6-7 lakh for a 30% bracket company), effective payback lands at 3.5-4 years, after which power is effectively free for 20+ years.

Q.Do Jaipur factories get the PM Surya Ghar subsidy?

No — PM Surya Ghar is residential-only. Factories use 40% accelerated depreciation and GST input credit, usually worth more than the subsidy.

PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana applies only to residential JVVNL connections. Industrial and commercial units instead claim 40% accelerated depreciation under Section 32 of the Income Tax Act and full GST input credit on the system — for a profitable company these benefits typically exceed the residential subsidy amount per kW.

Q.What is the maximum solar capacity allowed on JVVNL net metering for industry?

Net metering up to 500 kW; net billing from 500 kW to 1 MW; above 1 MW requires open-access or captive arrangements.

Under the current Rajasthan regulatory framework, JVVNL allows net metering for rooftop systems up to 500 kW (capped at your sanctioned load), net billing between 500 kW and 1 MW, and open-access/captive routes beyond. Most Jaipur factory roofs support 30-150 kW, comfortably inside the net-metering window.
