BHUBANESWAR, SEPTEMBER 8, 2026

Tata Power Solaroof has crossed the milestone of five lakh rooftop solar installations across India and is targeting 30 lakh installations by 2029, as the company seeks to accelerate the adoption of distributed renewable energy among households and businesses.

Tata Power Solaroof, part of Tata Power Renewable Energy Ltd (TPREL), a subsidiary of Tata Power, has completed 5,19,673 rooftop solar installations as of July 31, 2026, giving it a 14 per cent market share, the company said on Tuesday.

The milestone reinforces its position as one of India's leading rooftop solar providers. CRISIL has recognised Tata Power Solaroof as the country's No. 1 rooftop solar player for 12 consecutive years, reflecting its scale, execution capabilities and sustained presence in the sector.

The company has also facilitated more than Rs 8,500 crore in solar financing through a network of over 25 financing partners, helping households and businesses overcome the upfront cost associated with installing rooftop solar systems.

"With rooftop solar emerging as an increasingly attractive solution for reducing electricity costs and enhancing energy resilience, Tata Power Solaroof is expanding access through its nationwide ecosystem of more than 700 channel partners and over 250 authorised service partners," the company said.

The network enables the company to provide localised support across the customer journey, including consultation, system design, installation, commissioning and after-sales service.

Under its 'Quality Lifelong' promise, Tata Power Solaroof offers high-efficiency solar modules along with comprehensive warranties, financing options, insurance protection and service support. Its solar modules carry performance warranties of 25 to 30 years, while rooftop solar systems are backed by a minimum five-year warranty.

The company said its service proposition includes an initial response to customer service requests within two hours and resolution within 48 hours, aimed at strengthening reliability and the long-term ownership experience.

Tata Power Solaroof is also supporting the government's rooftop solar ambitions through its 'Ghar Ghar Solar' initiative, which is aligned with the objectives of the Pradhan Mantri Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana.

Launched in 2024, the initiative has expanded to 11 states and one Union Territory, covering Odisha, Uttar Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Maharashtra, Chhattisgarh, Rajasthan, Andhra Pradesh, Punjab, Haryana, Chandigarh and Bihar, with a cumulative population of more than 90 crore.

Through awareness campaigns, on-ground engagement and simplified access to rooftop solar solutions, the initiative seeks to help consumers understand the economic and environmental benefits of generating their own clean electricity.

The company said its financing offerings are also aimed at addressing a key barrier to rooftop solar adoption — the initial investment required by consumers.

Under a special financing scheme launched through 'Ghar Ghar Solar', eligible residential consumers can avail themselves of financing with down-payment options as low as zero. This is intended to help households that may otherwise struggle to meet the 10 per cent down-payment requirement under the PM Surya Ghar financing framework.

For commercial and industrial customers, Tata Power Solaroof offers financing solutions in partnership with public sector undertakings and NBFCs. Its SunSmart Flexi EMI Scheme follows a 'Pay As You Save' model, with repayments designed to align with projected solar energy generation.

The company is expanding its presence in the commercial and industrial segment, serving businesses across sectors such as textiles, steel, cold storage, information technology, hospitality, biotechnology, FMCG, consumer durables, automotive, data centres and tea estates.

Its C&I solutions cover system design, engineering, installation, financing and post-installation support, enabling enterprises to reduce dependence on conventional power, improve energy economics and advance their sustainability goals.

Beyond rooftop solar, Tata Power is also expanding into battery energy storage solutions under its Tata Power Battery Storage brand, recognising that energy independence requires the ability to use clean power beyond daylight hours.

By combining rooftop solar with battery storage, consumers can store surplus solar energy generated during the day and use it during evenings, nights or periods of low sunlight, thereby improving utilisation of renewable energy and reducing dependence on grid power.

For residential customers, the company's Mysine portfolio offers battery storage systems ranging from 5 kWh to 40 kWh. For C&I customers, its PowerHub portfolio provides scalable battery energy storage solutions ranging from 60 kWh to 5 MWh, with further scalability based on operational and load requirements.

The integrated rooftop solar and battery storage offering is designed to enable consumers to generate, store, manage and use clean power according to their energy needs, bringing them closer to greater energy independence.

With rooftop solar adoption gaining momentum across residential and business segments, Tata Power Solaroof's target of 30 lakh installations by 2029 signals an aggressive expansion strategy aimed at deepening India's transition towards decentralised clean energy.
