Virsa Knits
56.16 kW solar. 6,739 units generated every month.
A textile business based in Kotliablu, Punjab.
Virsa Knits is a textile business operating from a commercial facility in Kotliablu, Punjab. With a significant recurring electricity requirement, the facility had an opportunity to use its RCC rooftop to generate a portion of its own power through solar.
A monthly electricity bill of approximately ₹1.05 lakh.
Before solar, Virsa Knits consumed approximately 12,873 units of electricity every month, resulting in an average monthly electricity bill of around ₹1,04,957.
For a textile business with consistent electricity consumption, reducing this recurring operating cost presented a clear opportunity to improve the economics of the facility.
A 56.16 kW rooftop solar system designed for the facility.
Powermore designed and installed a 56.16 kW rooftop solar system on Virsa Knits' RCC roof. The system was designed to generate a significant portion of the facility's electricity requirement through on-site solar generation.
More of the facility's electricity requirement is now met through solar.
The solar system generates approximately 6,739.2 units every month. Against the pre-solar monthly consumption of approximately 12,873 units, this represents an estimated 52.4% energy offset.
The estimated savings are calculated using the effective pre-solar electricity cost based on the supplied monthly bill and consumption.
The numbers behind the installation.
- Pre-solar consumption: 12,873 units/month
- Pre-solar bill: ₹1,04,957/month
- Average solar generation: 6,739.2 units/month
- Estimated effective electricity cost: ₹8.15/unit
What the numbers actually show.
- 01More than half of monthly consumption can be offset.Average solar generation of 6,739 units represents approximately 52.4% of Virsa Knits' pre-solar monthly electricity consumption.
- 02The RCC rooftop becomes a productive energy asset.The available rooftop area is now being used to generate electricity for the business and offset grid consumption.
- 03The project targets a practical payback.With estimated savings of approximately ₹55,000 every month and an approximate 27-month payback period, the solar installation is positioned as a long-term business investment.
Before solar, and with solar.
| Metric | Before solar | With solar |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly consumption | 12,873 units | Grid consumption reduced by solar generation |
| Monthly electricity bill | ₹1,04,957 | Lowered through solar offset |
| Solar generation | N/A | 6,739 units/month |
| Estimated monthly savings | N/A | ₹54,950 |
| Estimated annual savings | N/A | ₹6.59L |
| Payback | N/A | 27 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.
Turn your rooftop into an energy asset.
For businesses with a significant recurring electricity cost, the right solar system can do more than generate power. It can reduce grid dependency, lower operating costs and turn unused rooftop space into a productive business asset.
