Site Assessment & Feasibility Study
Know Before You Invest
Solar is a long-term investment, and the right decision depends on facts specific to your site — how much sun it gets, how much load-bearing capacity your roof has, how your electricity is billed, and how much capital you're willing to commit. Skipping this step is how people end up with an undersized system, a poor payback period, or structural issues discovered after installation.
SSHM's Site Assessment & Feasibility Study answers these questions upfront. We combine a physical site survey with technical and financial analysis to give you a clear, honest picture — including whether solar makes sense for your site at all, before you spend a single rupee on equipment.
What We Assess
Solar Resource & Shading Analysis
Assessment of sunlight availability at your specific location and any shading from nearby buildings, trees, or structures that could reduce generation.
Roof/Land Structural Assessment
For rooftop systems, we evaluate roof type, age, and load-bearing capacity. For ground-mounted systems, we assess land topography, soil condition, and usable area.
Electrical Load & Consumption Analysis
Review of your electricity bills, sanctioned load, and consumption pattern to determine the optimal system size for your actual usage — not an oversized or undersized guess.
Grid Connectivity & Net Metering Feasibility
Assessment of your DISCOM connection type, transformer capacity, and net metering eligibility to confirm smooth grid integration.
Generation Estimate
Projected daily, monthly, and annual energy generation based on your location's solar irradiance data and proposed system design.
Financial Feasibility & ROI Analysis
Detailed cost estimate, applicable subsidy or incentive calculation, expected savings, and payback period — comparing CAPEX and OPEX options where relevant.
Regulatory & Approval Overview
Summary of approvals required — net metering application, subsidy scheme eligibility, and any local regulations that apply to your project.
Our Feasibility Study Process
Why This Step Matters
- Avoid Costly Mistakes — Structural issues, poor shading conditions, or grid limitations are far cheaper to identify before installation than after.
- Right-Sized System — A study based on your actual consumption avoids paying for an oversized system or under-delivering on an undersized one.
- Realistic Financial Expectations — Know your actual payback period and savings before committing capital, not after.
- Stronger Decision-Making — For commercial and industrial projects, a feasibility report supports internal budget approvals and stakeholder buy-in.
- Honest Assessment — If your site isn't well-suited for solar as-is, we tell you why and what would need to change — not just sell you a system regardless.
Who This Is For
- Homeowners evaluating whether rooftop solar makes sense for their house and budget.
- Businesses & Institutions planning a commercial rooftop or ground-mounted system and needing numbers for budget approval.
- Industrial Facilities assessing large-scale captive solar generation for their operations.
- Developers & Landowners evaluating land parcels for ground-mounted solar potential.
- Housing Societies considering shared rooftop solar for common areas or resident use.
