Financing Models
CAPEX or OPEX — Solar That Fits Your Balance Sheet
CAPEX Model
- — You invest in and own the plant outright
- — Full benefit of savings: solar at ₹2.5–3.5/unit vs grid at ₹8–11/unit
- — 40% accelerated depreciation in year one
- — Typical payback in 3–4 years, then 20+ years of near-free power
- — Best for profit-making enterprises with capital available
OPEX / RESCO Model
- — No upfront capital — an investor funds the plant on your roof
- — You pay only for the power generated, at a tariff below your grid rate
- — Savings from day one with zero performance risk
- — O&M and asset management handled by the developer
- — Best for businesses that want savings without balance-sheet impact

Frequently Asked Questions
Under CAPEX, you invest in and own the plant — capturing full savings, accelerated depreciation, and typically a 3–4 year payback. Under OPEX (RESCO), an investor funds the system on your roof and you simply buy the power at a tariff well below your grid rate, with zero upfront investment. Saatvik executes both and helps you model which suits your balance sheet.
Solar assets qualify for 40% accelerated depreciation under the Income Tax Act. A profit-making company can write off a large share of the plant cost in the first year, reducing taxable income and effectively lowering the net project cost — often improving IRR by several percentage points.
Most C&I rooftop systems in India pay back in 3–4 years under the CAPEX model, depending on your tariff, roof type, and state policy. With commercial tariffs of ₹8–11 per unit and solar generation costing ₹2.5–3.5 per unit over the asset life, the economics are compelling.
No. Our crews plan lifting, cabling, and tie-in work around your production schedule, with shutdowns limited to a brief, pre-agreed window for final grid synchronisation. Strict EHS protocols govern every day on site.
Saatvik offers comprehensive O&M packages — module cleaning, preventive maintenance, inverter servicing, remote monitoring, and performance reporting — with generation guarantees available on long-term contracts.
