Jagan Hosiery
Reducing textile manufacturing electricity costs with 37.44 kW solar.
A textile business operating in Industrial Area-A, Ludhiana.
Jagan Hosiery is a textile manufacturing business based in Industrial Area-A, Ludhiana, Punjab. The facility operates from a commercial site with a tin-shed rooftop and a sanctioned load of approximately 59.36 kVA.
A monthly electricity bill of ₹80,480, driven by over 10,000 units of consumption.
Before solar, Jagan Hosiery consumed approximately 10,786 units of electricity every month, resulting in an average monthly electricity bill of around ₹80,480.
For a textile manufacturing business with a consistent power requirement, reducing the recurring cost of electricity presented a clear opportunity to improve operating economics.
A 37.44 kW rooftop solar plant designed for Jagan Hosiery's commercial load.
Powermore designed and installed a 37.44 kW rooftop solar system on the facility's tin-shed roof. The system was designed to generate a significant portion of the facility's recurring electricity requirement through on-site solar generation.
Lower grid consumption. Lower electricity costs. Measurable savings.
The solar system generates approximately 4,492.8 units every month. Against the pre-solar monthly consumption of approximately 10,786 units, this represents an estimated 41.6% energy offset.
The estimated monthly savings are calculated by applying the pre-solar effective electricity cost to the solar generation.
The economics of the installation.
- Pre-solar consumption: 10,786 units/month
- Pre-solar bill: ₹80,480/month
- Average solar generation: 4,492.8 units/month
- Estimated effective electricity cost: ₹7.46/unit
What the numbers actually show.
- 01A significant portion of consumption can be offset.The system's average monthly generation of 4,493 units represents approximately 42% of Jagan Hosiery's pre-solar monthly electricity consumption.
- 02The rooftop becomes an energy asset.The tin-shed roof is being used to generate electricity for the business instead of remaining an underutilised part of the facility.
- 03The economics are built around recurring savings.With estimated savings of ₹33,500 per month and an approximate 30-month payback period, the installation is designed as a long-term business investment rather than simply an infrastructure upgrade.
Before solar, and with solar.
| Metric | Before solar | With solar |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly consumption | 10,786 units | Grid consumption reduced by solar generation |
| Monthly electricity bill | ₹80,480 | Lowered through solar offset |
| Solar generation | N/A | 4,493 units/month |
| Estimated monthly savings | N/A | ₹33,500 |
| Estimated annual savings | N/A | ₹4.02L |
| Payback | N/A | 30 months |
Savings are estimated from the supplied pre-solar electricity consumption, monthly bill and average monthly solar generation. Actual savings may vary based on tariff structure, demand charges, seasonal consumption and grid conditions.
