Solar loans 

Insolergy is an approved business facilitator with IDBI Bank Ltd. for availing loan for solar power plant in India. The solar energy company helps homes, businesses and industries avail loans for installing solar PV system through a structured and easy process that focuses on the quality of the solar PV system.

Here’s a look at the benefits of getting a solar power loan:

Savings:

The solar loans are designed such that the EMI comes to around 75 to 80 % of the saving made in electricity bill. This allows the consumer to immediately reap the benefit and achieve positive-savings from day one.

Ownership:

Owning a solar PV system by yourself comes with its own benefits. For commercial users, this means the ability to claim Accelerated Depreciation in the Income Tax. On the other hand, residential users can make use of the subsidy provided by the government.

Term:

The typical loan term is 5 years, as compared to the life of project which is more than 25 years. Hence, the consumer reaps 100% benefit for the remaining 20 years life of the project.

Now, let’s take a look at what opting for a solar PPA contract can mean.

Ownership:

An advantage of entering a solar PPA agreement is that the installer is responsible for the maintenance of the solar PV system for the entire term of the agreement. This lets solar energy consumers enjoy the benefits of solar power without having to take complete ownership of the solar PV system.

Term:

A PPA term typically lasts from 12 to 25 years. PPAs create an energy delivery agreement between such commercial users and renewable energy project developers that allow the organization to lock in energy prices for up to 20 years.
