Factory Solar ROI in Zahirabad: Payback, Tariff and Depreciation
No subsidy applies to commercial and industrial solar, yet payback is typically 2–3 years. The return comes from two things: C&I tariffs of ₹9–12 per unit, well above domestic slabs, and 40% accelerated depreciation in Year 1 for businesses with taxable profit.
The One Number That Swings Payback
Tariff: commercial and industrial tariffs run ₹9–12 per unit, so each unit of solar saves more than for a home. Depreciation: 40% accelerated depreciation in Year 1 on Written Down Value, under Section 32 of the Income Tax Act. It is a tax shield, not a subsidy, and applies only to businesses with taxable profit. Confirm with your CA.
The number that moves payback the most is how much of the generation you consume while it is made. A factory closed on Sundays loses that day's generation value unless net metering banks it. This is exactly what our load study checks.
Illustration from our price list: 200 kW costs ₹80,00,000 and produces about 24,000–30,000 units a month, worth roughly ₹2.16–3.6 lakh a month at ₹9–12 per unit if all of it is used on site. Light manufacturing units typically need 200–500 kW; large plants 500 kW to 1 MW or more.
