About this project

Objective: To develop a platform that estimates financial savings and adoption feasibility for residential rooftop solar installations in India.

Problem & Context: Rooftop solar adoption in India is hindered by lack of awareness, unclear savings estimates, and diverse state-wise policies. Homeowners and small businesses struggle to evaluate the financial benefits and feasibility of solar panel installations tailored to their region and consumption profile.

Approach/Methodology: The team will analyze state-specific solar policies, subsidy schemes, typical household consumption data, and solar irradiance data to build a digital platform. The solution will integrate public datasets, user inputs, and tariff structures to simulate solar ROI and payback periods.

Deliverables & Analysis: The project will deliver a web-based prototype that allows users to input their location and consumption, returning personalized solar adoption feasibility, expected savings, and break-even analysis. The team will include scenario analysis for different states and subsidy regimes.

Business Impact: The platform empowers homeowners, discoms, and solar vendors to make informed decisions, accelerating adoption of rooftop solar and supporting India’s renewable energy transition. It helps users estimate investment risk, savings, and regulatory impacts.
