Managing Peak-Hour Electricity Costs With Solar Panels

Last summer, my friend Ramesh called me, he lives in Varanasi, he was sounding quite stressed. He said, "The heat is unbearable, but I’m terrified of turning on the AC,". Like many of us, he was caught in the "peak-hour trap." In cities like Varanasi and Kanpur, electricity rates often spike during the afternoon and early evening when everyone turns on their heavy appliances.

At Sooryoday, we’ve seen thousands of families like Ramesh’s transform their lives. I told him that the sun over his roof wasn't just heat, it was a gold mine.

The Problem: The High Cost of "Peak Hours"

Most of the people are unaware of the fact, during the summer grid goes through immense pressure and sometimes it even bursts. Many of the utilities companies use "Time of Day" (ToD) tariffs, charging per unit price higher than others especially during the day. So using AC, washing machine, water pump, etc. during the day is a expensive matter. You are basically paying a "rush hour" tax on your electricity.

The Experience: From Bills to "Bijli-Mukt"

Ramesh was done with experiencing this hectic schedule and he decided to take another leap. Being a consultant of Sooryoday, I helped him understand the current solar panel price Varanasi. With the PM Surya Ghar Yojana subsidy, the cost of 3kw solar panel have become incredibly affordable, it generally starts around 1.5lakh before subsidies, and PM yojana can cover upto 78k. 

Why Choose Local Expertise?

Whether you are looking for solar panel dealers in Kanpur or Varanasi, local presence matters. In Kanpur’s industrial and residential hubs, having a dealer who understands the local dust levels and roof types ensures your panels are positioned for maximum efficiency.
