Did you know your factory could save ₹90 lakh/year — and pay zero upfront for solar?
Solar energy adoption in India is picking up serious momentum — and not just among homeowners. Industrial and commercial units are now making the shift to solar, and for good reason. With rising grid electricity prices, stricter sustainability norms, and government-backed support schemes, switching to solar is one of the smartest decisions a business can make in 2025.
But here’s the catch — many businesses don’t fully capitalize on the industrial and Commercial solar power plant subsidies and tax benefits available to them.
In this guide, we’ll break down how B2B business in Haryana can maximize their returns through rooftop integrated photovoltaic (RIPV) systems. You’ll learn how to choose between financing models, leverage government solar panel schemes like MNRE and KUSUM, and legally reduce your tax liability through solar subsidy.
Industrial facilities run on power — and lots of it. Shifting from grid-based energy to solar can save ₹80- 90 lakh annually on electricity for a 1MW Commercial solar system in Haryana. But beyond the cost savings, solar systems offer:
Many business owners search for solar subsidy in Haryana, but few understand how to truly leverage the complete financial ecosystem around industrial solar systems.
One of the first decisions to make in your solar journey is the financing structure
You pay the full cost of the system upfront and own the asset. This model is best suited for:
Under the CAPEX model, you can:
Also known as the PPA (Power Purchase Agreement) model, this structure involves zero upfront cost. A third-party investor installs and operates the system, and you pay for the electricity you consume at a pre-agreed tariff — Approximately 15–20% below DISCOM rates.
This model suits:
In this model, the third-party claims the industrial solar subsidy, but your business still enjoys reduced electricity bills with zero risk.

Let’s get to the core — what financial support is actually available for industrial solar projects?
The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) offers Central Financial Assistance (CFA) for solar installations. While industrial rooftop systems don’t directly get upfront subsidies, benefits come in the form of:
In 2025, MNRE is focusing more on larger-scale adoption, and policies may evolve to include production-linked incentives (PLIs) or green credits for industrial solar power users.
If your business is in the agro-processing, agro-industrial or rural-based manufacturing sector, KUSUM Component A can help you install grid-connected solar plants with the option to sell excess energy back to the grid.

Through HAREDA (Haryana Renewable Energy Development Agency), the state provides:
Your eligibility for these benefits depends on your load category, project size, and connection voltage level.
Here’s how B2B solar adoption works in the real world
✅ Step 1: Site Survey & Feasibility
A solar EPC provider inspects your rooftop or land area, analyses load data, and proposes the optimal system size.
✅ Step 2: Choose Financial Model (CAPEX vs. OPEX)
Decide whether to buy the system or get it installed through a PPA. This will affect who claims the industrial solar subsidy and other financial incentives.
✅ Step 3: Apply Under MNRE/KUSUM/HAREDA
Based on your business type, project size, and location, your solar provider will register the project under the relevant scheme:
✅ Step 4: Project Installation & Commissioning
After paperwork and approvals, installation begins. Most projects take 30–60 days to complete based on size and site conditions.
✅ Step 5: Claim Financial Benefits
Here’s an example to show the math
This doesn’t include carbon credits or sustainability-linked financial incentives, which are increasingly becoming relevant for export-based industries. Want to know how to calculate ROI of your solar commercial buildings and lands
