Rooftop Solar for Warehouse
How Solar Works for Your Warehouse
A warehouse roof is often the biggest unused asset a business owns. Lightweight mounting on metal sheet roofs lets you install large systems without changing the building.
For cold storage and temperature-controlled warehouses, solar offsets the heavy daytime refrigeration load. Bhanu handles structural assessment, design, installation and approvals.
Typical system size
50 kW – 1 MW+
Usually limited by roof area rather than load.
What we check
- Roof sheet condition and purlin strength

- Export limits and metering for large systems
Benefits
Why Go Solar for Your Warehouse
Huge roof, huge output
Large unshaded sheds support systems of hundreds of kW.
Low cost per kW
Big systems are the cheapest solar per kW — often ₹32,000–₹40,000 per kW above 100 kW.
Tax benefits
The PM Surya Ghar subsidy covers homes only, but businesses can usually claim accelerated depreciation on solar assets, which cuts the effective cost through lower tax.
Cool storage, lower bills
Ideal for cold storage with heavy daytime refrigeration load.
