The people behind 1,500 rooftops in Madhya Pradesh.
Nine years building trust with 200,000 farmers. Now installing solar on the same homes, factories, and institutions, where our name already means something.
From 200,000 farmers to 1,500 rooftops. Same trust, in solar.
r-solar is the next chapter of Farmkart, a rural-India platform that today serves 200,000+ farmers across Central India and was personally recognised by Prime Minister Modi in Mann Ki Baat for its impact on rural livelihoods.
The same team that built Farmkart's village-level distribution network is now installing rooftop solar on the same homes, factories, and institutions. We already knew the streets, the DISCOMs, the language, and the customer.
Solar is harder than people think. Trust is harder still. We started with the trust.
Affordable, durable solar for every rooftop in MP.
To be the rooftop solar installer of choice across Madhya Pradesh, by delivering the four things that matter most on the ground.
Affordability
Competitive pricing and government subsidies like PM Surya Ghar Yojana bring rooftop solar within reach of Indian households.
