Is solar worth it in Nikol?
A well-installed system in Nikol makes about 4.3 units per kW every day, averaged over the year. So a typical 3 kW home system here produces around 387 units a month, which covers most of the bill for an average family. We install rooftop and ground-mounted solar across Nikol and nearby areas of Ahmedabad.
Most of our Ahmedabad work is on bungalows and tenements in the western suburbs, flat roofs on society buildings, and factory sheds in Sanand, Changodar, Vatva and Naroda.
Depending on where you are in Ahmedabad, your power comes from either Torrent Power or UGVCL. Check the name printed on your light bill. We'll file the net meter application with whichever one it is.
For businesses in Ahmedabad, mainly textiles, pharmaceuticals and automobile & auto-components, solar cuts the daytime power cost. A 100 kW rooftop plant here can produce about 1,56,950 units a year.

On crowded city roofs, water tanks, staircase rooms and taller buildings next door can throw shade for part of the day. We check shade at the site survey and use elevated structures where needed. Even a little shade on one panel can pull down the whole string.
