From ₹20,000 Electricity Bills to Zero: Sweet Shop’s Solar Success Story
A sweet shop in Hisar, Haryana was facing consistently high electricity bills due to continuous usage of refrigeration, air conditioning, lighting, and food-processing equipment. To control rising power costs, the shop owner opted for a 10 kW UTL on-grid rooftop solar system, designed specifically for commercial applications.
Operational Overview
Sweet shops typically operate for long hours and rely heavily on refrigeration and cooling equipment to maintain product quality. This makes electricity one of the biggest recurring expenses.
Before solar installation:
- Monthly electricity bill: ₹15,000–₹20,000
- Connected load: Approx. 10 kW
- Connected load: Approx. 10 kW
- 2 Air Conditioners
- 2 Deep Freezers
- 1 Ice Cream Freezer
- 2 Cold Drink Refrigerators
- Lighting and food preparation machines
The continuous load resulted in fluctuating but consistently high electricity bills every month.
Solar Solution Installed
To eliminate this issue, a 10 kW on-grid rooftop solar power system from UTL Solar was installed on the shop’s rooftop.
- The system generates power during the day and directly supplies electricity to the shop.
- Any excess power is exported to the grid through net metering.
- When solar generation is low, the grid automatically supplies power.
