Book Your Share

Reserve capacity based on your bills: ₹55,184 gets you about 1.06 kW, offsetting ₹655/month in power bills — turning a sunlit rooftop in Mumbai into your passive income source.

Credits, Not Cash

Your solar share sells power to businesses; instead of bank deposits, you get ₹500–₹2,000/month in direct bill reductions, fully spendable and instantly valuable.

Tax

No Tax Bite

Since credits are utility discounts, not cash income, you save tax too — if you earn ₹700/month in credits, you save the full ₹8,400 a year, without a rupee lost to taxes.

Stack Up Earnings

Invest in multiple projects; ₹1 lakh could fund shares across two cities, letting you rack up ₹1,200–₹1,400/month in bill credits — and compound savings year after year.
