One solar platform.

Each service operates under its own clear legal framework. Choose what fits your needs โ€” cheaper electricity, solar output purchase, or free vendor tools.

⚡ Power Buyers โ€” RESCO 🌞 Solar Output Purchase โ€” SOPA 🛠 Solar Vendor Tools
Service 1 โ€” For homes & businesses

Rooftop solar at zero upfront cost

Under the RESCO model, Solavesta installs, owns, and operates a solar system on your rooftop. You pay nothing upfront. You simply buy the electricity at a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) rate that's 30-50% lower than your PSPCL grid tariff. We handle everything โ€” forever.

💰

Zero capital expenditure

Solavesta funds the entire installation โ€” panels, inverters, mounting, wiring, net metering. Your out-of-pocket cost is literally zero. You pay only for the electricity you consume.

30-50% lower electricity rate

Your PPA rate is locked below the prevailing PSPCL commercial tariff at the time of signing. As grid rates increase year after year, your savings compound automatically.

Complete maintenance included

Panel cleaning, inverter servicing, cable inspections, remote monitoring, insurance โ€” everything is covered by Solavesta for the entire contract duration. Zero maintenance burden on you.

📈

Real-time generation dashboard

Access your client portal to see live solar generation data, monthly consumption vs. generation charts, and detailed billing history. Know exactly how much you're saving.

📄

All approvals handled

PSPCL net metering application, electrical inspector clearance, MNRE documentation, local permissions โ€” our team manages every piece of paperwork so you don't have to.

🔒

Long-term rate lock

PPA contracts run 10-25 years with rates fixed at signing. While PSPCL tariffs rise 5-8% annually, your solar rate stays the same. The longer the contract, the more you save.

1

Free site assessment

Our engineers visit your premises, evaluate rooftop area, structural strength, shading, and current electricity consumption. No charge, no obligation.

2

Custom system design

Based on your consumption pattern and roof specifications, we design the optimal solar system. You review the expected generation and proposed PPA rate.

3

Installation & commissioning

Certified teams install the system in 3-7 days. PSPCL net meter connected. Electrical inspector clearance obtained. System goes live.

4

Consume & save

From day one, you consume solar power at your PPA rate. Surplus exports to grid via net metering. Monthly bill from Solavesta replaces part of your PSPCL bill.

RESCO vs. buying your own solar system

Many people wonder: should I buy solar panels myself or go with a RESCO like Solavesta? Here's the honest comparison.

  • Upfront cost: RESCO = ₹0. Self-purchase = ₹1.5-5 lakh depending on system size.
  • Maintenance: RESCO = fully covered by us. Self-purchase = your responsibility (cleaning, repairs, monitoring).
  • Performance risk: RESCO = our problem. Self-purchase = your problem if panels underperform.
  • Approvals: RESCO = we handle everything. Self-purchase = you manage PSPCL paperwork.
  • Total savings over 25 years: Self-purchase saves more long-term if you have the capital. RESCO saves from day one with zero risk.

RESCO is ideal for those who want guaranteed savings without capital outlay or maintenance headaches.

Service 2 โ€” Solar Output Purchase Agreement

Forward-purchase solar kWh from real projects

Through our SOPA, you buy a defined allocation of solar electrical output from a specific named project. Solavesta generates the electricity, sells it to the power buyer under a PPA, and remits your allocated output value as a monthly delivery credit. This is a bilateral commercial contract for the purchase of goods โ€” not a financial product.

📄

Forward purchase of goods

Electrical energy is a commodity classified under HSN 2716. Your SOPA is a forward purchase contract for this commodity โ€” governed by the Indian Contract Act 1872 and the Sale of Goods Act 1930.

🌞

Named project, your specific slot

Every SOPA identifies the exact project: physical address, PSPCL net meter ID, total capacity (kW), PPA tariff, and power buyer name. Your allocated slot (e.g., 10 kW out of 100 kW) is independently tracked.

📈

Monthly delivery statements

Every month you receive a detailed statement showing: total project generation, your slot's output, gross value, each deduction line item, TDS amount, and net credit paid to your bank account.

Why is this free? What's the catch?

There is no catch. Here's our honest reasoning:

  • Ecosystem growth: More professional vendors = more solar installations = larger market for Solavesta's RESCO and SOPA services. When you grow, we grow.
  • Vendor network value: A verified network of 1,000+ solar vendors across India is itself a strategic asset. It enables us to offer faster installation, wider geographic coverage, and better procurement.
  • Data intelligence: Aggregate (anonymised) market data from vendor activities helps us understand solar adoption trends, pricing patterns, and regional demand.
  • Future premium services: We may introduce optional paid add-ons in the future, but the core billing and CRM tools will always remain free.

Your project data remains yours. We don't sell your customer lists. We don't take commissions on your projects.
