Rajasthan - Multi-site Dealership Solar

Keeping energy costs in control is a major challenge for several business owners. Automobile dealerships find it extremely challenging, being housed in large buildings with extensive spaces where auto dealerships incur high air conditioning and heating costs. Lighting of their large spaces, indoors and outdoors, also takes a toll on their overheads.

Rajesh Motors, a multi-site car dealership group in Rajasthan, decided to partner with SolarMaxx to slash its electricity bills by installing high-efficiency rooftop solar at several of their dealerships across the state. Utilizing the unutilised rooftop space was a smart decision.

Using the accelerated depreciation benefits, the company saved more than 30% of the total costs by saving taxes. Metering arrangements (net or gross, as applicable) also ensured any excess power generated is credited or settled with the DISCOM so there is no wastage of power. The solar power system is expected to save Rajesh Motors substantially each year.

From upgrading to the use of LED bulbs to use of motion sensors and dimmers in lighting up spaces, the car dealership has gone a long way and is considering being environment friendly in every possible way. Solar power comes as a boon to them with additional savings.
