Client Overview: Solar Energy Solution for a 2,500 sq. ft. Retail Store in Jaipur

Industry: Retail
Location: Jaipur
Energy Consumption: 1,500 kWh per month
Average Monthly Electricity Bill: ₹20,000+

The client, a prominent retail store in Jaipur, was grappling with escalating electricity bills primarily due to heavy air conditioning usage and extensive lighting requirements. With a monthly consumption of 1,500 kWh, the store was spending over ₹20,000 per month on energy, significantly affecting its operational profitability.

The Challenge: Rising Energy Costs and Sustainability Concerns

As the store expanded, so did its electricity consumption. With air conditioning running throughout the hot summer months and lights illuminating the retail space around the clock, the energy costs were unsustainable. The client recognized the urgent need to find a cost-effective, sustainable solution that could reduce operational expenses and make a positive impact on the environment.

The Solution: Installation of a 15 kW Solar Panel System

Nexun Energies stepped in to provide a comprehensive solar solution. We installed a 15 kW grid-tied solar system, which included 35 high-efficiency solar panels. The system was designed to generate an estimated 1,800 kWh of electricity per month, providing a sustainable and cost-effective energy solution.

Key features of the solution:

• Grid-Tied System: The system was connected to the local electricity grid, allowing the store to benefit from net metering.

• Net Metering: This feature enabled the store to earn credits for surplus energy generated, which could be used to offset future electricity costs.

• Energy Savings: The new solar system was expected to significantly reduce the store’s reliance on grid power, lowering electricity costs.

The Outcome: Significant Savings and Environmental Impact

Monthly Savings:
The 15 kW solar system successfully reduced the store’s electricity bills by ₹12,000 per month, cutting operational energy expenses by 60%.

Annual Energy Generation:
The system generated 21,600 kWh annually, meeting nearly 90% of the store’s energy requirements, ensuring that the majority of the store’s energy needs were now supplied by solar power.

Environmental Impact:
The switch to solar energy also contributed to sustainability goals. Over the first year, the system helped reduce the store’s carbon footprint by cutting down 15 tons of CO2 emissions, demonstrating a strong commitment to environmentally responsible business practices.

Why Solar? The Long-Term Benefits of Solar for Retail Businesses in Jaipur

This case study highlights how solar energy not only delivers immediate cost savings but also provides long-term sustainability benefits. As energy prices continue to rise, businesses in Jaipur can increasingly rely on solar energy to shield themselves from unpredictable electricity price hikes. Additionally, the environmental benefits of reducing CO2 emissions align with global sustainability goals, making solar energy a win-win solution for both business and the planet.
