Real Solar Success Stories from Indian Businesses
See how factories, rice mills, and textile units across India used our in-house financing to switch to solar and cut electricity costs.
Facing monthly electricity bills of 12 to 13 lakh rupees, Shinghal Agri Industries, a large rice processor in Odisha, turned to us for a solution. The Managing Director, Mr. Mukesh Kumar Dhandhania, chose us for our integrated approach, especially our in-house financing which put everything "under one roof." Their 500 kW system now helps them slash electricity costs by approximately 50 lakhs annually.
Rishabh Mehta, Director at Haren Textiles in Maharashtra, highly recommends our services after a year of satisfaction with his rooftop solar system. He highlights our unique ability to provide everything from panel manufacturing to flexible financing options. This enables MSMEs like his to adopt solar with minimal upfront investment, making the transition to green energy both quick and affordable.
"Paying through EMIs is a big advantage for SMEs." This insight from Vijesh Saigal, Managing Director of AVN Saigal Group in Hubli, perfectly captures the value of our financing. We provided a collateral-free loan for their 80 kilowatt rooftop solar system, making the switch to solar financially manageable and immediately beneficial. We handle the financing ourselves so our customers don't have to deal with banks.
For Sri Vari Panel Craft in Mysore, our collateral-free in-house solar finance scheme was the key to making their long-term goal of switching to solar a reality. The Managing Directors, M S Darshan and M S Shravan, recommend us for a "hassle-free installation." Their 110 kilowatt system now meets 65% of their furniture manufacturing facility's electricity needs with a payback of just over 3 years.
Even for smaller enterprises, the benefits are substantial. We helped Shivalingeshwar Enterprises in Jamkhandi with a 15kW rooftop solar system. The owner, Mahatesh S Ghatagi, appreciated how our sales team clearly explained the benefits, including tax advantages and meeting nearly all their electricity needs with solar. We believe in empowering every business with clear information to make the right choice.
About Real Results: Client Success Stories
Most solar providers force you to chase banks for loans, but we manage financing in-house to keep things simple. We assess your business directly, meaning no collateral requirements and credit approvals within 7 days. For many of our clients, the electricity savings immediately cover the monthly EMI, effectively turning a recurring expense into a path toward owning your own power plant.
Why Businesses Switch to Orb
When we founded Orb Energy in 2006, we realized that the biggest barrier for SMEs wasn't the technology, but the financing. That is why we integrated everything under one roof. We manufacture our own Mono PERC and TOPCon modules, design the system, install it, and provide the loan ourselves. This removes the third-party dependencies that cause delays and hidden costs.
Real-World Results
Our clients range from heavy manufacturing units to food processing facilities. The financial logic remains consistent across industries:
- Shinghal Agri Industries (Odisha): By installing a 500 kW system, they now offset roughly 50 lakhs in annual electricity costs. Their payback period is just over 3 years.
- Sri Vari Panel Craft (Mysore): Their 110 kW system meets 65% of their facility's power needs, proving that even mid-sized manufacturing units can operate efficiently on solar.
- AVN Saigal Group (Hubli): By utilizing our collateral-free financing, they managed to install an 80 kW system without the headache of pledging assets to a traditional bank.
The Financial Advantage
We designed our financing specifically for the Indian SME sector. Since we are the lender, we don't look for collateral. We look at your business operations. Our systems typically see a full payback within 3 to 4 years, and with our 25-year linear performance warranty on panels, the long-term utility is significant. We handle the net-metering paperwork and liaisoning with local electricity boards (like BESCOM or MSEDCL), so your team stays focused on production, not permits.
