Why Solar Energy Is Gaining Momentum in 2025

With rising electricity tariffs and growing concern about climate change, Indians are turning to rooftop solar like never before.

Government subsidies, improved technology, and increased awareness have made solar more affordable, reliable, and profitable.

At Surya Renewable Energy Systems (SRES), we believe rooftop solar is not just a green choice but also the smartest financial decision homeowners and businesses can make in 2025.

Here’s why.

1. Save Big on Electricity Bills

  • Rooftop solar can cut electricity bills by 50–90%.

  • A typical home with a 5kW solar system can save ₹4,000–₹7,000 per month.

  • Businesses with higher consumption save even more.

👉 With rising grid tariffs, solar offers long-term protection against price hikes.

2. Quick Payback & Long-Term Returns

  • Investment in rooftop solar pays back in just 3–5 years.

  • Solar panels last 25+ years, meaning decades of free power after breakeven.

  • Businesses often see an ROI higher than traditional investments.

In short, rooftop solar is a one-time investment with lifetime benefits.

3. Government Subsidies & Tax Benefits

  • The Indian government offers 30–40% subsidies for residential rooftop solar.

  • Businesses can claim accelerated depreciation benefits, reducing taxable income.

  • Many state DISCOMs support net metering, letting you sell excess electricity back to the grid.

👉 These policies make solar cheaper today than ever before.

4. Increase Property Value

  • Homes with solar are seen as modern, sustainable, and future-ready.

  • Solar-installed properties command higher resale value.

  • For businesses, it boosts brand reputation by showcasing environmental responsibility.

5. Contribute to a Cleaner Planet

Every rooftop solar system helps reduce carbon emissions:

  • A 5kW system offsets nearly 7 tonnes of CO₂ per year.

  • That’s equal to planting 300+ trees annually.

By adopting solar, you’re not just saving money — you’re creating a greener future for India.

Real-World Example: A Business That Switched to Solar

An SRES rooftop solar installation for a small manufacturing unit in Hyderabad:

  • System size: 20kW

  • Monthly savings: ₹40,000 on electricity bills

  • Payback period: 4 years

  • Environmental impact: 140 tonnes of CO₂ saved annually

The owner now uses the savings to expand operations, proving solar is both eco-friendly and business-smart.
