Commercial electricity is dearer than residential - which makes solar more rewarding.

Shops, clinics and offices in Raipur usually pay commercial tariffs, so every unit solar replaces saves more than at home. Solar for shop and office in Raipur works when most consumption is during opening hours.
Quick answer: if your bill is mainly daytime power, a rooftop plant sized from twelve months of units typically pays back in three to five years.
| Aspect | Home | Shop or office |
|---|---|---|
| Tariff | Lower, subsidised slabs | Higher commercial tariff |
| Central subsidy | Available for eligible homes | Generally not available for commercial |
| Benefit | Bill savings | Bill savings and depreciation |
| Typical size | 2 - 5 kW | 5 - 30 kW |
| Payback | 3 - 4 years with subsidy | 3 - 5 years, depends on tariff |
If you are a tenant, secure a long lease or an agreement on removal. If your shop is in a market complex, discuss common-roof rules with the association. Read solar for small shops for examples.

An office using 1,800 units a month, mostly between 10 am and 6 pm, might choose a 12 to 15 kW plant on its roof. Annual generation of roughly 17,000 to 21,000 units could offset a large share of consumption. If the commercial tariff is higher than a home tariff, each unit saved is worth more, which shortens payback. Replace these numbers with your own bills before deciding.
| Item | Illustrative value |
|---|---|
| Monthly use | 1,800 units |
| Suggested size | 12 - 15 kW |
| Roof needed | 120 - 150 sq m |
| Annual generation | About 17,000 - 21,000 units |
| Payback | Typically 3 - 5 years |
Keep inverter location in mind: a shaded wall near the main panel is ideal. Provide Wi-Fi for monitoring. Plan cable routes that do not cross customer areas. Choose a time for installation that avoids peak business hours, and set a handover date with the vendor in writing.
