Industrial

Captive generation, installed without stopping a line

Large rooftop and ground-mounted systems for manufacturing, warehousing and cold chain. At this scale solar stops being a sustainability line item and becomes a hedge on your cost of production.

Who this is for

Solar is not universally right, and the segment you sit in changes both the economics and the engineering. These are the situations where this configuration earns its place.

  • Manufacturing plants

    Two- and three-shift operations with a heavy daytime base load. Solar covers the shift that overlaps daylight and cuts the units bought at industrial tariff.

  • Warehousing and logistics

    Large uninterrupted metal roofs with modest load — often the best case for captive or group captive arrangements under your state's open access policy.

  • Cold storage

    Refrigeration runs continuously with a large daytime component. Solar also reduces diesel backup hours, a saving that rarely appears in payback models but should.

  • Process industries

    Where power is a significant share of cost of goods, a fixed generation cost for 25 years changes your pricing floor — usually a stronger argument than payback alone.

Typical system sizes

Indicative figures to set expectations. Your site assessment produces the real numbers, which move with roof area, shading and tariff.

Indicative system sizes, suitability, roof area and annual generation
System sizeSuitsRoof neededAnnual generation
500 kWMid-size plant~40,000 sq ft~7.3 L units
1 MWLarge shopfloor~80,000 sq ft~14.6 L units
2 MWMulti-shed campus~1.6 L sq ft~29.2 L units
3.5 MWRooftop and ground hybrid~2.8 L sq ft~51.1 L units
5 MWCaptive or group captive~4 L sq ft~73 L units

Indicative estimates based on 1,460 units per kW per year. Actual output depends on site conditions.

Captive, open access or hybrid

Rooftop captive is simplest and needs no wheeling. Open access lets you site generation off-premises where roof area caps you below your load. We model both and recommend whichever your state policy actually favours.

Structure before modules

Industrial sheds were not designed for the additional dead load. Every project starts with a structural audit, and any reinforcement is priced before you commit rather than discovered mid-install.

Installed live

We sequence by shed and by shift, work above idle bays and stage material outside production corridors, so the line keeps running throughout.

What we tell you before you sign

  • A structural audit is mandatory at this scale and can return a 'not without reinforcement' verdict.
  • Open access economics depend on state wheeling and banking charges, which change with tariff orders.
  • HT connection changes and electrical inspectorate approvals add time beyond the build itself.
  • Solar reduces energy charges; contract demand is a separate negotiation with your DISCOM.
  • Ground-mount requires clear land title and, in some states, non-agricultural conversion.
  • Unmaintained plants lose output quickly, which is why O&M is included rather than optional.
Inside the System

What's Inside Your Solar System?

Premium components. Reliable performance.

Solar Panels

Where sunlight becomes DC power

Modules convert sunlight into direct current and account for most of the system's cost and all of its output. We specify ALMM-listed panels with a linear performance warranty rather than a step warranty.

Why Us

Why Choose ArkMitra?

Solar is a twenty-five year commitment. These are the things that decide whether it holds up.

  • MNRE Compliant & ALMM Approved

    Every system is built to MNRE specifications using ALMM-listed modules, so subsidy eligibility is never in question.

  • Expert Engineers & Quality Installation

    Design and installation handled by our own engineering team, with structural and electrical checks at every stage.

  • Subsidy & Net Metering Assistance

    National Portal registration, DISCOM applications and net-meter follow-up are handled on your behalf, start to finish.

  • 5 Years Free AMC & Lifetime Support

    Scheduled maintenance for the first five years at no cost, and a support line that stays reachable long after that.

  • High Quality Components & Safety

    Tier-1 modules, BIS-certified inverters, proper earthing and surge protection — the parts nobody sees but everyone depends on.

  • Still comparing quotes?

    Send us what you have. We will tell you plainly what is missing from it — component names, structure specification and subsidy treatment are the usual gaps.
