Behind-the-meter solar connects directly into your commercial building own electrical distribution network on your side of the utility billing meter. Power generated by rooftop panels powers HVAC chillers, lighting, elevators, diagnostic imaging equipment, and computers instantaneously. Because generated electricity is consumed on-site first before drawing from the utility grid, it directly displaces expensive commercial retail tariffs (₹11 to ₹14 per unit in Maharashtra) with zero transmission or wheeling fees.
Predictable 24/7 power cost containment for hospitals.
Hospitals operate continuous HVAC, ventilation, diagnostic scanners, and ICU equipment with non-negotiable daytime power requirements. BTM solar directly offsets high commercial daytime tariffs while synchronizing safely with hospital emergency diesel generators.
Multispeciality hospitals, nursing homes, diagnostic centers, and surgical clinics (e.g. CNS Hospital, Deepak Hospital).
Solar output matches constant daytime medical equipment draw
Synchronizes with backup diesel gensets without reverse power risk
Non-penetrative RCC ballast mounting preserves roof membranes
Commercial electricity tariffs are among the highest utility rate categories in India, making behind-the-meter solar exceptionally lucrative.
Displace Peak Commercial Tariffs
Every solar unit generated on your roof directly displaces peak commercial tariffs of ₹11 to ₹14 per unit, generating unmatched operating savings.
100% Free of Grid Surcharges
Because power is consumed on-site behind the meter, zero wheeling charges, transmission losses, or open access surcharges apply.
