Commercial Rooftop Solar: Slashing High Tariffs for Bengal Businesses

Commercial power tariffs under WBSEDCL are substantially higher than residential rates—often ranging from ₹8.50 to ₹10.50 per unit, plus demand charges and electricity duty. For MSMEs, cold storages, rice mills, and private educational institutions in South 24 Parganas, energy is one of the highest monthly operational expenses.

The Dual Benefit: Operating Savings & Tax Write-Offs

Installing a commercial rooftop solar plant delivers a two-fold return on investment:

• Immediate OpEx Reduction: Generates clean kilowatt-hours directly during daytime peak operating shifts, offsetting high tariff tiers.
• 40% Accelerated Depreciation (Section 32 of Income Tax Act): Businesses can write off 40% of the capital cost in Year 1, dramatically reducing corporate taxable income.

Engineering for Factory Sheds & Warehouses

Commercial roofs often feature trapezoidal metal sheet profiles. M.T. Solar by MTC uses specialized non-penetrating anodized aluminium seam clamps that attach securely to sheet ribs without making screw holes, preserving 100% roof waterproofing integrity.
