Leading solar solution company Freyr Energy have decided to set up Solar Experience Centres simultaneously in several cities in Uttar Pradesh, including Lucknow, Varanasi and Prayagraj, the purpose of which is to be a one-stop shop for all the solar energy-related needs of the consumers. As part of the plans, Freyr Energy has revealed that they will expand their business by setting up 15 such centers enabling more homeowners and organizations to explore solar solutions.
While explaining the purpose of the centres, Radhika Chaudhary, Co-founder and Director of Freyr Energy, confirmed that the consumers will have the opportunity to assess the solar panels slantwise right there while sorting out the issue of money. She highlighted that nearly 70% of homeowners interested in solar for home are looking for financing options. as an alternative. Hence, to stand with them, Freyr Energy is in partnership with various NBFCs and allows customers to fill in the forms for solar loans through the Jan Samarth Portal where schemes of the government like the PM Surya Ghar Yojana are available. It’s the company’s goal to expand beyond these first 15 centres and cover the entire state in the next six months.
Uttar Pradesh is known for being unique among other states in that it provides its citizens with an additional state solar subsidy, which is in addition to the incentives from the central government. Speaking in this regard, Chaudhary has pointed out that the Yogi government’s residential solar panel installation subsidy is a big contributor to reduce the solar panel price .
