Loan for Solar Business – Business Loans for Solar Energy

The solar industry is growing within India at a fast pace, propelled by an ever-growing demand for electricity that has made it the fifth-highest in terms of requirement. 53% of the requirement is fulfilled by using coal as a raw material. There is also hydroelectric power.  The ever-growing demand for electricity and the shortfall have made it necessary for generating electricity through solar energy. The high amount of sunshine that India receives as tropical is ideal for the solar energy sector.

Most places in India receive an average of 3000 hours of sunshine in a year and this amounts to 5000 trillion kWh (kilowatt-hours). This high potential of generating solar energy in India has launched great projects. Solar projects in the Thar desert of India are generating 700 to 2100GW of power.  The Jawahar Lal Nehru national solar mission has targeted generating 20000MW of electricity through the solar route.

The government of India has announced several incentives to motivate more and more people to invest in generating solar power. The ministry of new and renewable energy in the central government has announced the Sristi (Sustainable Rooftop Implementation for solar transfiguration will provide incentives for rooftop solar power generating projects. The government has an outlay of Rs 23,450 crores and has a target to generate 40GW (gigawatts) of power by 2022.

Solar power is the conversion of energy from sunlight into electricity by either using photovoltaics (PV) or indirectly by using concentrated solar power. A combination of the increasing popularity of solar power and the incentives announced by the government has made the prospect of starting a solar business a very lucrative business and entrepreneurs are increasingly being drawn to this business opportunity.  The different types of business opportunities include 

1. solar panel installation
2. solar product distribution
3. solar product manufacturing
4. solar system repair and maintenance
5. solar product consultancy.

Getting the business started

Manufacturing solar products are capital intensive and a good business plan is required in order to begin the business and there is financing available for entrepreneurs. Having prepared a good and sure-to successful business plan, the next step is to legalize the business. This is done by registering the business. The business can be registered as a business as a sole proprietorship or as a public limited company. A company incorporation certificate will be required. 

The next step is to have an online presence and to market the business. A modern technique is to use the platform of digital marketing. This can be done online with minimum investment.  

The next vital step is to plan the amount of investment into the business. This will decide the amount of loan to be applied for. It is advisable to start on a small initial investment and then expand the business slowly with regular working capital loans after the initial startup loan has been paid up.
