Housing Society Rooftop Solar Systems in India

Out of all the monthly expenses that a housing society has to pay for the common area activities, electricity bills are the biggest expenditure.

It’s the moral obligation of the solar power housing association to make residents aware of the fact that using solar power for housing societies can reduce the common area electricity cost substantially.

The rooftop area of a housing society is owned by its RWA (Residents Welfare Association). The Corpus (the maintenance charges that the residents pay every month) collected every month amounts to crores of rupees in a span of 10 years or so.

When the solar power housing committee (RWA) invests that Corpus in installing a solar power system for housing society, they’re practically investing in free electricity generation to power up common area amenities like water pumps, lifts, lights in parking and on every floor, and so much more!

We, at EarthWaves, understand that the RWA requires headache-free solar installation; hence, we offer a 5-year AMC (Annual Maintenance Contract). It means, we ensure the regular cleaning and maintenance of the solar panel for housing society for the coming five years.

Once you’re our client, whether or not your rooftop solar power system for housing society is generating electricity is our headache, not yours!

How solar power works?

A solar power system for housing society works the same way it does for an individual house. The only difference is that the power being generated here is huge.

  • When light falls on the solar panel for housing society, the PV cells convert that light into DC power.
  • That DC power is converted into AC power with the help of a solar inverter.
  • AC power is fed into a bi-directional meter set up to handle the common area power needs of the housing society.

The bi-directional meter keeps a record of the number of units imported from the grid and the number of excess units exported to the grid.

If there’s been additional power from the DISCOM that has been used above the solar power that’s generated, you will have to pay for that imported electricity.

If the power generated by the solar system for housing society has been more than the power consumed, and you supplied electricity to the grid, DISCOM will pay you for the power you provided.

Benefits of using solar power for your housing society

Solar energy for housing society is free. What you’ll invest as the upfront cost will be recovered within 3 to 5 years, and you’ll continue to get free electricity for almost 25 years.

The benefits that the society draws from installing a solar power housing system are:

  • A dramatic reduction in the common area utilities electricity bill.
  • The reduction of the carbon footprint.
  • Better rooftop maintenance.
  • A cooler rooftop due to the installation of the solar power system for housing society. Needless to say, if the roof is cooler, so is the rest of the building.

The savings on the common area electricity bill can be used for other activities like amping up the security, installing a children’s play area, rainwater harvesting, and much more.

The benefits that the residents draw from the installation of a rooftop solar system are:

  • The monthly CAM (common area maintenance charges) they pay for common area electricity reduces.
  • They get to enjoy the pride of dwelling in a society that has adopted a sustainable way of living.
  • The sale value of a property with rooftop solar is higher than normal property rates in the same locality. So, homeowners get to sell or rent their property at higher prices.
