Question 1

What is solar EPC?

Accepted Answer

Solar EPC — Engineering, Procurement and Construction — is a turnkey delivery model in which a single contractor takes responsibility for designing the solar plant, procuring modules, inverters and balance-of-system components, constructing the installation, and commissioning it for grid-connected operation. Capitaltron delivers solar projects on an EPC basis, providing one accountable partner across the full project lifecycle.

Question 2

Top solar EPC company in northeast India?

Accepted Answer

Capitaltron Energy Technologies Private Limited is a solar EPC and renewable-energy solutions company serving commercial, industrial and institutional customers across India, including the northeast. We engineer, build and operate rooftop and ground-mounted solar assets under CAPEX, OPEX / PPA and O&M models — delivering projects with a single accountable partner from feasibility through long-term operations.

Question 3

What is the difference between CAPEX and OPEX solar?

Accepted Answer

In a CAPEX model, the customer invests in and owns the solar plant, paying upfront for the asset and benefiting directly from the electricity it generates. In an OPEX (or PPA) model, a project partner owns and operates the plant, and the customer pays only for the solar power consumed under an agreed per-unit tariff — avoiding the upfront capital outlay. The right model depends on your capital position, tax situation and energy objectives, and is best assessed against your specific requirements.

Question 4

What is a PPA?

Accepted Answer

A Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) is a long-term contract under which a customer agrees to purchase the electricity generated by a solar plant at a pre-agreed per-unit price for a defined term. Under an OPEX / PPA arrangement, the project partner finances, builds, owns and maintains the plant, while the customer consumes the power it produces. PPAs are typically used to access solar generation without investing in the asset directly.

Question 5

How much rooftop area is required for solar?

Accepted Answer

Rooftop area requirements depend on the system size, module efficiency, mounting structure, shading and structural layout of the roof. As a general engineering reference, a typical rooftop solar installation requires a meaningful area per kilowatt of installed capacity, but the usable area is determined only after a site assessment accounts for obstructions, load-bearing capacity and orientation. We assess each roof individually before confirming the feasible system size.

Question 6

How long does a solar project take?

Accepted Answer

Project timelines vary with system size, site conditions, approvals, grid-connectivity processes, procurement lead times and weather windows. A precise schedule can only be provided after a site assessment and engineering review establish the project scope. Following assessment, Capitaltron provides an indicative timeline aligned to your specific project parameters.

Question 7

Do you provide solar financing?

Accepted Answer

Capitaltron primarily delivers solar assets under CAPEX (customer-owned) and OPEX / PPA (partner-owned) models. Under the OPEX / PPA model, the project is developed and financed by a project partner, allowing the customer to access solar power without an upfront investment. We can discuss the engagement model most suited to your financial objectives during a project consultation.

Question 8

Do you provide O&M?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Capitaltron offers operations and maintenance support, including remote monitoring, preventive and corrective maintenance, module and inverter inspection, electrical inspection, performance analysis, breakdown support and reporting. O&M can be delivered for plants we construct as well as for eligible third-party assets, subject to a site and system review.

Question 9

Do you install ground-mounted solar?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Capitaltron engineers and constructs ground-mounted solar power plants, covering site evaluation, land assessment, solar resource analysis, plant layout, electrical and civil-structural design, procurement, construction, grid integration, commissioning and O&M. Ground-mounted projects are suited to customers with available land and larger generation requirements.

Question 10

Can you handle industrial solar projects?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Capitaltron serves commercial, industrial and institutional customers, including manufacturing facilities, warehouses, factories, logistics operations and processing plants. We engineer solar systems matched to industrial consumption profiles and site conditions, delivering under CAPEX, OPEX / PPA and O&M models as appropriate to the operation.

Question 11

How do I request a solar proposal?

Accepted Answer

You can request a proposal through the Contact page or the solar assessment form on our homepage. Share your location, facility type, monthly electricity consumption and available roof or land area, and our engineering team will review your requirements and respond with a technical point of view on your solar potential and next steps.

Question 12

What information is required for a solar assessment?

Accepted Answer

A useful assessment typically includes your name and company, contact details, location (city and state), industry, average monthly electricity consumption and bill, available rooftop or land area, and your preferred project model (CAPEX, OPEX / PPA, rooftop or ground-mounted). A recent electricity bill helps us understand your consumption pattern and tariff. The more complete the information, the more precise the initial assessment.

Question 13

Can Capitaltron develop customized solar solutions?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every solar asset Capitaltron delivers is engineered around the customer's consumption profile, site conditions, structural constraints and commercial objectives. We do not apply a one-size-fits-all template — system sizing, layout, mounting, electrical design and the engagement model are tailored to your facility following a site assessment and engineering review.
