Project Summary / Description:

We are a small rooftop solar player with focus on the residential/ institutional and MSME segment. We plan to set up 10000 rooftop solar plants in the urban markets of India and also light up 10000 households with solar home lighting systems over the next 5 years. So far we have set up operations across Maharashtra, Goa, Gujurat and other key cities like Bangalore, Delhi NCR  with close to 350 rooftop solar plants and have lit up 1000 homes with our solar home lighting kits in the Palghar district of Maharashtra. With solar power we believe we can make a difference to the lives of people and the environment at large and hence we have focussed on influencing thousands of home owners to install rooftop solar plants at their premises. We have developed a unique behaviour change model to accelerate adoption of solar power among the millions of home owners. With initial set up costs being a key barrier we are rolling out relevant and customised payment options for our customers so that they can pay as low as 30% and set up their own rooftop solar plants. We believe that the behaviour change model coupled with the financing options will help us accelerate our growth and achieve our goals.

How Project Affects Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions:

Urban india - solar power helps consumers switch from carbon based sources to renewable energy offsetting 25 tons of carbon footprint over 25 years for each KW capacity plant 
Rural india - solar power helps reduce dependence on candle light/ kerosene oil which r all carbon based sources of light.

Impact on Underrepresented Groups:

As part of our LITEAHOME program we have gifted solar light kits to 1000 plus households in rural india with no electricity source. The solar light kits have created impact on 3 big parameters :
1. 100% of families now feel safe in their remote surroundings 
2. Their savings have gone up due to reduced expenditure on kerosene, candles etc 
3. Kids can now study longer and fulfil their dreams

Mission Statement:

Our vision statement is "To enable and empower every household to generate their own electricity and reduce their carbon footprint". Our mission is to set up 100000 solar rooftops(avg 10KW capacity) in the residential, institutional and commercial segments over the next few years and play a role in lighting up close to 100000 homes that do not have access to electricity, with solar power through our LiteAHome program. Each one of us in the company believes in the core values of Accountability, Trust, Simplicity, Caring and Warmth.
