Net Metering And Central Financial Assistance Will Provide The Ultimate Push To Rooftop Solar Installations In India

Rooftop solar systems provide clean energy, resulting in multiple environmental and monetary benefits. To actually enjoy these benefits, the Indian government should set up stricter norms to avoid heavy reliance on fossil fuels in the power industry. Besides, the government should step up its efforts on building mass awareness to ensure a smart transition towards a greener future. In an interaction with Potshangbam July of Electronics Bazaar, Animesh Manek, managing director of Avishakti Rooftop Solar Pvt Ltd, talks about how rooftop solar installations are not just about saving electricity but also play a big role in the larger picture of environment conservation.

EB: Tell us about your company and how your business model works?

Avishakti Rooftop Solar Pvt Ltd is one of Mumbai’s fastest growing rooftop solar companies specialising in residential, commercial and institutional installations. Having started our operations in October 2016, we have already crossed an installed capacity of 220kWp in two-anda-half years.

We are an EPC (engineering, procurement and construction) player in the rooftop solar segment—we provide end-to-end solutions for rooftop solar power plant installations including the design, engineering, procurement and commissioning.

We are a team of highly skilled, passionate professionals pursuing excellence at every level of our work. Instead of merely building a solar business or following a particular path as a means to an end, we live and breathe rooftop solar technology. This approach ensures only the highest quality output each and every time. Integrity is our core value, and we are driven by the vision of empowering our customers – that’s our top business priority.

EB: How many projects have you completed so far? Is there a special project for which you believe you have extensively contributed towards building up sustainable and green energy generating resources?

So far, we have completed 17 projects. Every project is the fruit of hard work and the pursuit of excellence. The results are out there to be seen, with our solar plants across Mumbai consistently performing beyond the industry average. All our projects are designed to optimise energy efficiency, thereby contributing not only to saving money for our customers but also to slashing CO2 emissions substantially. This definitely makes it very difficult for me to simply choose one particular project. It’s like having to choose the best from among many of my children.
