As the world becomes serious about carbon neutrality and transitioning to a green energy economy, solar power plants have seen a surge in finanicing and investment over the past decade. This wave of 'Green Investment Funds' now crashing across the shores of India is an opportunity of a lifetime. Every indian now has a chance to make money as the sun shines over his land.
In this article we explore the current investent landscape for three different segments based on project size.
1 - Residential Solar Rooftop Power Plant - Investment required Rs.1 lakh up to Rs.10 lakh.
The govt. of India via a combination of central and state government schemes offers subsidies on grid connected solar rooftop power plants of capacity ranging from 3KW to 25KW. These solar power plants help you to save Rs.30,000 to Rs.2.6 lakhs per year in energy costs. That offers a whopping 25% + return on capital invested per year. The best feature of this investment is as future electricity prices go up the savings you make per year also goes up every year protecting you from high future prices.
