For Energy Customers:
Energy Customers are businesses/ commercial establishments that are 
looking to make an environmentally positive shift (reduced carbon footprint) 
towards solar energy and for the electricity bill saving potential to be realized. 
Distributed Energy signs Power Purchase Agreements (PPA) with its Energy 
Customers to install solar plants (rooftop/open access) for power generation 
over a period of 7-20 years. Depending on the PPA option, Energy Customers 
can expect to save a minimum of 15% on their current electricity bills. To get 
started, Energy Customers can use the below calculator to calculate an 
approximate solar savings if they choose to partner with us.
• Solar Energy Savings Calculator
You can use our Solar Energy Savings Calculator to calculate the savings to be 
made on your electricity bill by commissioning a solar plant. The calculator 
will illustrate the estimated annual savings as well as total savings during a 
Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) term, based on your location, potential solar 
system size, units generated, your current power tariff and potential solar 
tariff proposed by us.
