Housing societies in Chhattisgarh, especially in Tier-2 cities like Bilaspur, Korba, and Raigarh, are discovering the long-term financial and environmental benefits of going solar. By converting their rooftops into power generators, these communities are slashing their utility bills and improving their amenities.
1. Benefits for Common Areas
Solar power can be used to run:
- Lifts and elevators
- Water pump motors
- Corridor and compound lighting
- CCTV and security systems
Societies report monthly savings of ₹10,000 to ₹50,000, depending on their system size.
2. Group Net Metering
Thanks to new rules, societies can install a large rooftop system and distribute credits across multiple apartments using Group Net Metering. Even flat owners who cannot install solar on their roofs can benefit.
3. Improved Social Image & Resale Value
Solar-equipped societies are seen as progressive and future-ready, making them attractive to eco-conscious buyers and tenants.
