⚙️ Industrial Advantages of a 1 MW Rooftop Solar System

Cheema Boilers Ltd operates in a power-intensive, high-emission industry, where optimizing energy consumption and reducing environmental impact are essential. With the 1 MW rooftop solar system, the company gains significant benefits across financial, operational, and environmental dimensions.

✅ 1. Substantial Reduction in Electricity Bills

Electricity costs are among the biggest overheads for industrial units. The 1 MW solar system will generate approximately 13–14 lakh units of clean electricity annually, leading to a significant reduction in grid dependency and saving lakhs of rupees every year in energy costs.

This allows Cheema Boilers to reinvest savings into R&D, modernization, or expansion without compromising on profitability.

✅ 2. Upto 80% Accelerated Depreciation Tax Benefit

One of the biggest advantages of going solar in India is the Accelerated Depreciation (AD) benefit under the Income Tax Act. Eligible companies like Cheema Boilers can claim:

• 40% depreciation in the first year

• 40% depreciation in the second year

This adds up to an 80% tax shield within two years, drastically reducing taxable income and improving the project’s Return on Investment (ROI). For capital-intensive industries, this makes solar adoption a financially strategic move.

✅ 3. Lower Carbon Footprint in a High-Emission Industry

The boiler manufacturing industry is inherently energy-intensive and often associated with high carbon emissions. By installing a solar power system, Cheema Boilers will offset nearly 1,200 tons of CO₂ emissions annually—the equivalent of planting over 18,000 trees every year.

This not only enhances the company’s environmental credentials but also opens up access to international supply chains where carbon transparency and ESG compliance are increasingly mandatory.

✅ 4. Export Benefits and Sustainability Alignment

As global markets prioritize eco-conscious vendors, companies like Cheema Boilers can gain a competitive edge by showcasing reduced carbon intensity per unit of product. Exporters with cleaner production lines often enjoy:

• Easier compliance with EU and U.S. green norms

• Preference in sustainable procurement policies

• Better chances at ESG-linked financing and green funding

By adopting solar power, Cheema Boilers is not only cutting costs but future-proofing its brand for global expansion.

✅ 5. Low Maintenance, High Reliability

Solar systems have minimal operational costs. With top-tier components from Tata Power Solar and expert commissioning by Ekam Energy, the system is built to last over 25 years with minimal maintenance.

Ekam Energy also provides ongoing monitoring, AMC, and performance tracking, ensuring that Cheema Boilers enjoys uninterrupted savings and long-term value.
