Zero Investment, Full Ownership in ~6 Years: 300 kWp for a Manufacturing Unit
The client situation
A light-engineering unit in the NCR has a large metal-sheet roof and a ₹3–4 lakh monthly electricity bill, but wants to keep its capital for machinery.
How the zero-CAPEX model works
- IG Solar designs and installs a 300 kWp rooftop plant at no upfront cost
- The factory pays a contracted solar tariff for the units it consumes
- The tariff is set below the grid rate, so the factory saves from month one
- After the agreed recovery period, the plant is transferred to the factory
- IG Solar O&M remains available for the rest of the plant life
| Parameter | Indicative value |
|---|---|
| Plant size | 300 kWp |
| Annual generation | ~4.2 lakh units |
| Grid tariff | ~₹8/unit |
| Contracted solar tariff | ~₹6/unit (recovery period) |
| Saving during recovery | ~₹8–9 lakh/year |
| Recovery period | ~6 years |
| Saving after transfer | ~₹30 lakh+/year (only O&M cost) |
| Upfront investment | ₹0 |
RESCO vs zero-CAPEX: the difference
In RESCO, the developer owns the plant for the full term and you buy power. In IG Solar’s zero-investment model, you pay a slightly higher tariff for a shorter period — and then you own the asset and enjoy almost-free power for the rest of its life.
*Ownership transfer as per the agreed contract, subject to project economics, credit quality and financing approval.
Illustrative case study — figures are indicative and based on stated assumptions; actual results depend on site, tariff category, regulatory charges and financing.
- ₹0 upfront — plant financed and built by IG Solar’s structure
- Factory pays an agreed solar tariff below the grid rate
- Ownership transfers after the recovery period (~5–7 years)
- Then 15+ years of near-free solar power
