Commercial and Industrial Solar Systems

Overview

For a commercial or industrial consumer, the value of solar comes from displacing high-tariff day-time units with on-site generation. Because these systems are larger, the engineering matters more: structural capacity, cable routing, protection coordination, HT/LT interface and safe working at height all have to be planned before execution starts.

GLS takes projects from feasibility and single-line diagrams through procurement, civil and structural works, DC and AC installation, testing and commissioning, and into a maintenance regime that keeps generation close to design.

Who it is for

• Factories and manufacturing units with day-shift loads
• Warehouses and logistics facilities with large roof spans
• Hospitals, hotels, schools, colleges and institutions
• Commercial buildings, showrooms and office complexes
• Large electricity consumers on commercial or HT tariffs

How it works

Key benefits

• Reduced cost of day-time electricity consumption
• Better long-term energy cost planning
• Lower dependence on grid supply during generating hours
• Measurable progress against sustainability commitments
• Productive use of otherwise idle roof area

Technical considerations

Capacity planning

Capacity is matched to day-time base load and roof capability. We do not promise a specific payback period; indicative figures are shared with their assumptions stated.

Roof types

Metal sheet, standing seam, RCC and shed roofs each need a different mounting approach to avoid leakage and respect warranty conditions.

Monitoring

Inverter-level or plant-level monitoring is provided so generation can be reviewed against expectation.

Approvals

Net metering or grid connectivity approvals follow the utility's prevailing process; GLS coordinates documentation and liaison.

Process

1. 01 — Consultation

   We understand your load profile, electricity bill, tariff category and objective.

2. 02 — Site Assessment

   Roof or land survey covering area, orientation, shadow, structure and electrical infrastructure.

3. 03 — System Design

   Capacity sizing, layout, module and inverter selection, cable and protection design.

4. 04 — Proposal & Planning

   Detailed scope, bill of materials, indicative generation and commercial proposal.

5. 05 — Engineering & Installation

   Structure fabrication and erection, module mounting, DC and AC works, earthing and protection.

6. 06 — Testing & Commissioning

   Insulation, polarity, string current, earthing and inverter commissioning checks.

7. 07 — Grid Integration / Handover

   Coordination for net-metering or grid approval where applicable, then documented handover.

8. 08 — Monitoring & O&M

   Generation review, scheduled cleaning and inspection, and corrective maintenance.

Components we use

Project examples

GLS has completed 300+ projects across Tamil Nadu. Case studies in this category are being documented with client approval, and we publish only what owners have confirmed may be shared. Ask us for references relevant to your category and we will send what has been approved for disclosure.
