Dewas, Madhya Pradesh
r-solar financed, designed, built, and owns this 100kW installation. Shri Patidar pays only for the units consumed: no upfront investment, no maintenance responsibility, fixed price for 25 years. This is our proof-of-concept OPEX pilot, the template for MW-scale Open Access projects.
Significant reduction in operational electricity costs
Based on Dewas region's solar irradiation patterns
Over the 25-year system lifespan
= 2,000 tons over 25 years, equal to 4,200 trees/year
Like many industrial operations in the region, the farm faced escalating electricity tariffs that were impacting the bottom line.
Industrial tariffs eating into profit margins
Need for reliable, high-capacity power supply
Savings needed to show up immediately, not years later
Capital better deployed in core operations; preferred an off-balance-sheet solar solution
The r-solar OPEX / PPA Structure: Shri Patidar
Zero capex for the client. r-solar retains asset ownership and provides guaranteed generation under a long-term PPA.
| Metric | Result |
|---|---|
| System Size | 100 kW |
| Expected Monthly Generation | ~12,000–13,000 units/month (Dewas) |
| Annual Savings | ₹8,00,000+ |
| Payback Period | 2–3 years with net-metering |
| 25-Year Lifetime Savings | ₹2+ Crore |
| CO₂ Offset (Annual) | ~80 tons/year |
Numbers based on r-solar standard yield models for industrial installations.
The OPEX model delivered exactly what was promised. The 100kW plant, owned and operated by r-solar, generates clean power on site. Shri Patidar pays a fixed per-unit tariff, resulting in estimated annual savings of ₹8,00,000 versus the prevailing industrial grid rate.
No capital was deployed by the client. No maintenance burden. No tariff exposure. This is the OPEX model working in practice, and the template r-solar is now scaling to MW-level Open Access projects across Madhya Pradesh.
The Shri Patidar pilot validated the OPEX model. r-solar is now developing ground-mount Open Access projects in MP, targeting industrial clusters in the Nimar belt, Pithampur, and Mandideep. Under Open Access, factories with contracted demand above 500kW can source solar power directly from r-solar's ground-mount plant, bypassing the grid tariff entirely.
Behind-the-meter. Model proven. Client on zero capex.
Open Access LOIs signed with industrial off-takers in MP.
Multi-site PPA portfolio under development. MPERC approvals in progress.
Long-term RESCO platform across MP. PE/infra investable at scale.
