Energy Generation & Savings
A 25KW commercial rooftop solar system generates:
- Daily Output: 100–120 units (kWh)
- Monthly Output: 3,000–3,600 units
- Annual Output: 36,000–43,000 units
Annual Savings: ₹2,50,000 – ₹3,50,000 (based on tariff ₹7–₹8 per unit)
Carbon Reduction: 35–40 tons annually (equivalent to planting 2,000+ trees every year)
Roof Area Requirement
A 25KW rooftop solar system requires around 2,000–2,500 sq. ft. of shadow-free rooftop space for optimal performance. It is best installed on south-facing concrete, metal sheet, or tiled roofs with a tilt angle matching the site’s latitude.
- Space Needed: 2,000–2,500 sq. ft. of shadow-free rooftop space
- Orientation: South-facing panels with tilt angle equal to location latitude
- Roof Type: Suitable for concrete, metal sheet, or tiled roofs
