Non-Stop Commercial Refrigeration & Kitchen Heat Loads

Restaurants and quick-service cafes run deep freezers, blast chillers, heavy exhaust hoods, and dining hall air conditioners. Electricity represents a major recurring operational drain on food & beverage margins.

  • Walk-in chillers and beverage coolers run non-stop, drawing thousands of units monthly.
  • High commercial electricity rates in Bihar (₹8.80–₹10.50/unit) bite deeply into food service margins.
  • Summer outdoor heat forces dining air conditioners to operate at peak compressor duty.

Accelerated Depreciation: Write Off 40% In Year One

Under the Indian Income Tax Act (Section 32), eligible commercial and industrial solar power plants qualify for 40% accelerated depreciation in the first year. This substantially lowers your taxable corporate profit, creating a direct tax shield that effectively pays for 25–30% of the project capital cost.

*Assumption: Calculated on ₹9.00/unit commercial rate and 1,450 kWh/kWp annual generation. Consult your Chartered Accountant for exact corporate tax implications.
