Mumbai, Sept. 8 -- As of July 31, Tata Power Solaroof had completed 519,673 installations, giving it a 14 per cent market share, with a target of 3 million by 2029.

Tata Power Solaroof, part of Tata Power Renewable Energy Ltd (TPREL), a subsidiary of The Tata Power Co. Ltd, has surpassed half a million rooftop solar installations across India, marking a significant step in the adoption of distributed renewable energy across residential and commercial & industrial (C&I) segments.

With rooftop solar emerging as an attractive solution for reducing electricity costs and enhancing energy resilience, Tata Power Solaroof is expanding access through its nationwide ecosystem of more than 700 channel partners and over 250 authorised service partners. This network enables the company to provide localised support across the customer journey, from consultation and system design to installation, commissioning and after-sales service.

Ratings agency CRISIL has recognised Tata Power Solaroof as India's number one rooftop solar player for 12 consecutive years, reflecting its scale, execution capabilities and sustained presence in the sector.

Rooftop Push

Tata Power Solaroof continues to support the Government of India's rooftop solar ambitions through its flagship 'Ghar Ghar Solar' initiative, aligned with the objectives of the Pradhan Mantri Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana (PMSGMBY). Launched in 2024, the initiative has expanded to 11 states and one union territory, including Odisha, Uttar Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Maharashtra, Chhattisgarh, Rajasthan, Andhra Pradesh, Punjab, Haryana, Chandigarh and Bihar, collectively covering a population of more than 900 million.

Through awareness campaigns, on-ground engagement and simplified access to rooftop solar solutions, Ghar Ghar Solar is helping consumers understand the economic and environmental benefits of generating their own clean electricity. The initiative also addresses adoption barriers through financing solutions and an expanding service ecosystem.

To make rooftop solar more accessible, Tata Power Solaroof offers financing through leading banks and non-banking financial companies. Under the Special Financing Scheme launched through Ghar Ghar Solar, eligible residential consumers can access financing with down-payment options as low as zero, helping address the upfront cost barrier for households that may not be able to meet the 10 per cent down-payment requirement under the national financing framework.

For C&I customers, the company offers financing solutions in partnership with government-owned enterprises and non-banking financial companies (NBFCs), including its SunSmart Flexi EMI Scheme, a pay-as-you-save model designed to align repayments with projected solar energy generation. These solutions enable businesses to reduce upfront capital requirements while leveraging long-term savings from solar power. Tata Power Solaroof has so far facilitated more than Rs.85 billion in financing through a network of over 25 partners, helping consumers and businesses access rooftop solar solutions.

Business Shift

Tata Power Solaroof is expanding its footprint across the C&I segment, serving enterprises in textiles, steel, cold storage, information technology, hospitality, biotechnology, FMCG, consumer durables, automotive, data centres and tea estates. Its solutions are designed to help businesses reduce dependence on conventional power, improve energy economics and advance sustainability objectives.

The company provides customised solutions spanning system design, engineering, installation, financing and post-installation support, enabling enterprises to integrate renewable energy into their operations at scale.

Energy Storage

Recognising that energy independence goes beyond generating clean power during daylight hours, Tata Power has expanded its portfolio to include battery energy storage solutions under the Tata Power Battery Storage brand. By combining rooftop solar with battery storage, consumers can store excess solar power generated during the day and use it when the sun is not shining, enabling greater utilisation of clean energy beyond sunlight hours while enhancing resilience and reducing dependence on grid power.

For residential customers, the Mysine portfolio offers advanced battery storage systems ranging from 5 kWh to 40 kWh, enabling homeowners to store surplus solar generation and use it during evenings, nights or periods of low sunlight. For C&I customers, the PowerHub portfolio provides scalable battery energy storage solutions ranging from 60 kWh to 5 MWh, with further scalability based on operational requirements. These systems enable businesses to optimise renewable energy consumption, manage peak power requirements and extend the use of clean power beyond solar generation hours.

Together, rooftop solar and battery storage create an integrated clean energy ecosystem that allows consumers to generate, store, manage and use clean power when they need it. This combination improves energy resilience and takes consumers closer to a future of greater energy independence, where clean power generated during the day can power homes and businesses well beyond sunset.

Under its Quality Lifelong promise, Tata Power Solaroof combines high-efficiency solar modules with comprehensive warranties, financing options, insurance protection and service support. Its solar modules come with 25- to 30-year performance warranties, while systems are backed by a minimum five-year warranty. The company's service proposition includes an initial response to customer service requests within two hours and resolution within 48 hours, reinforcing its focus on reliability and long-term ownership experience.
