What we do

A solar EPC partner for homes, businesses and large projects

GLS Energies Solutions designs, engineers, installs, commissions and maintains solar power systems — rooftop systems for homes and buildings, larger systems for commercial and industrial consumers, MW-scale EPC projects, plus solar water pumping and street lighting. We are based in Pallavaram, Chennai and work across Tamil Nadu.

Every project begins with site data rather than a standard package: your consumption history, roof or land condition, shading, structure and electrical infrastructure. That assessment decides capacity, component selection and scope — and it is what we put in the proposal, so you can see exactly what is being built and why.

On-Grid Solar

An on-grid solar system works in parallel with the utility grid and has no batteries. It is the lowest-cost configuration per kW and is suited to sites with reasonably reliable grid supply that want to reduce their electricity bill.

For: Homes and buildings with stable grid supply

Off-Grid Solar

An off-grid solar system stores generated energy in batteries so selected loads keep running without the grid. It suits locations with unreliable or unavailable supply, and costs more per kW than an on-grid system because of the battery and charge control.

For: Locations with frequent or long power interruptions

Residential rooftop solar panels installed on a terrace

Residential solar

Rooftop solar for homes and residential buildings

A home system is sized from your consumption history and the shade-free area your terrace actually offers. We assess structure, orientation and shading before proposing capacity — not after.

On-grid systems reduce the units you import. Where supply is unreliable, a hybrid or off-grid design keeps essential circuits running during outages.

  • Structural and shadow assessment before design
  • Capacity matched to your bill and roof area
  • Net-metering coordination where applicable
  • Cleaning and inspection schedule set at handover

Reduce the cost of day-time power at your facility

For factories, warehouses, institutions and commercial buildings, solar displaces high-tariff day-time units at the point of consumption. The engineering — structural capacity, cable routing, protection coordination, safe working at height — decides whether that benefit lasts.

We plan execution around your operations, with shutdowns limited to the activities that need them and agreed in advance.

  • Load profile and tariff study before sizing
  • Mounting approach matched to your roof type
  • Protection and metering interface designed for your distribution
  • Monitoring so generation can be reviewed against expectation

Utility-scale solar plant with rows of modules and inverter stations

MW-scale EPC

Utility-scale solar executed as an engineering project

At MW scale a plant is a construction project as much as an electrical one: civil foundations, mounting structures, DC stringing, AC works, balance of system and evacuation all have to be sequenced with inspection points at each stage.

GLS carries engineering, procurement and construction under one scope, with documented commissioning and as-built records at handover.

  • Civil works designed from geotechnical data
  • DC works with cable sizing and pre-energisation testing
  • AC works through to the evacuation interface
  • Commissioning records and optional continuing O&M

Questions answered

Solar questions, answered directly

Short answers first, detail after. Full list on the FAQs page.

  • How much does a solar system cost?

    Cost depends on capacity, system type (on-grid, off-grid or hybrid), roof condition, structure height and the components selected. GLS quotes against your actual site and consumption after an assessment, so the figure reflects your project rather than an advertised per-kW rate.

  • What solar capacity does my home need?

    Capacity is derived from your electricity consumption over the last 6–12 months, your usable shade-free roof area and your sanctioned load. A home consuming more during the day can usefully absorb a larger share of generation.

  • What is the difference between on-grid and off-grid solar?

    On-grid systems work alongside the utility grid without batteries and stop generating during an outage. Off-grid systems use batteries to run loads independently of the grid, at a higher cost and with battery replacement over time.

  • What is the solar installation process?

    Consultation, site assessment, system design, proposal, engineering and installation, testing and commissioning, grid integration or handover, and then monitoring and maintenance. Each stage is documented before moving to the next.

  • How often should solar panels be maintained?

    Module cleaning frequency depends on dust, bird activity and rainfall at your site; electrical connections, earthing and inverter logs are checked on a periodic schedule. A site-specific plan is set during handover.

  • How does solar EPC work?

    One contractor takes engineering, procurement and construction responsibility: design, material supply, civil and electrical execution, testing and commissioning, handed over as a working plant with documentation.
