A footwear manufacturer based in Delhi.
Verma Footwear is a commercial footwear manufacturing business located in Budhnagar, Delhi. With electricity supporting its manufacturing operations, the business had an opportunity to use its tin-shed rooftop to generate power on-site and reduce its recurring electricity costs.
A monthly electricity bill of more than ₹52,000.
Before solar, Verma Footwear consumed approximately 3,395 units of electricity every month, with an average monthly bill of ₹52,100.
For a manufacturing business, electricity is an ongoing operating expense. Rooftop solar offered an opportunity to offset part of that consumption with power generated at the facility itself.
A 15 kW rooftop solar system installed on the tin shed.
Powermore installed a 15 kW rooftop solar system at Verma Footwear, using Avaada TOPCon modules and a GoodWe three-phase on-grid inverter.

₹27,635 estimated saving every month
From ₹52,100 a month to an estimated ₹24,500 after solar.
The system is expected to generate approximately 1,800 units every month, an estimated 53% of the pre-solar 3,395 units. At the effective pre-solar rate of approximately ₹15.35/unit, that is about ₹27,635 of electricity cost offset every month.
*Estimated post-solar cost uses the pre-solar effective rate on the remaining grid consumption. Actual bills may vary with generation timing, self-consumption, fixed and demand charges, taxes and the applicable grid arrangement.
The numbers behind the installation.
The project has an estimated 35-month simple payback period, making rooftop solar a long-term investment in managing electricity costs.
- Pre-solar monthly bill: ₹52,100
- Pre-solar consumption: 3,395 units/month
- Effective electricity rate: ₹15.35/unit
- Average monthly solar generation: 1,800 units/month

What the numbers actually show.
- 01Solar offsets a meaningful share of electricity consumption.
With average monthly generation of approximately 1,800 units, the system can offset an estimated 53% of Verma Footwear's pre-solar monthly consumption.
- 02Monthly electricity costs can come down.
Based on the estimated energy offset, the monthly electricity cost moves from approximately ₹52,100 before solar to ₹24,500 after solar.
- 03The savings accumulate over time.
At an estimated saving of approximately ₹27,600 per month, the system represents around ₹3.32 lakh in annual electricity cost savings.

More control over the cost of manufacturing.
For manufacturers, electricity is a recurring input cost that affects day-to-day operations. Verma Footwear's rooftop solar system uses available roof space to generate power on-site and help reduce reliance on grid electricity.
