Tata Power has reached an impressive milestone, surpassing 1,50,000 rooftop solar installations across India, further solidifying its position as the country’s number one rooftop solar provider. The company’s rooftop solar systems, which now total a robust 3 GW capacity nationwide, have played a critical role in advancing India’s renewable energy transition.
As a key player in India’s renewable energy landscape, Tata Power Solar Rooftop, part of Tata Power Renewable Energy Ltd.

The company’s flagship product, Tata Power Solaroof, offers several compelling advantages, including an 80% reduction in electricity bills, a 25-year warranty on solar modules, and a payback period of just 4-7 years. Additionally, the system provides protection against rising electricity tariffs, which typically increase by 3-5% annually.
Tata Power is also at the forefront of solar manufacturing in India, producing ALMM-approved solar panels at its state-of-the-art facility in Tamil Nadu. With a focus on quality and innovation, the company is helping to meet the growing demand for clean, reliable energy solutions across the country.
In line with its mission to make solar adoption accessible and affordable, Tata Power offers a range of flexible financing solutions in collaboration with over 20 financial partners, including leading PSU and private banks.

Tata Power Solaroof’s impactful awareness campaigns have played a pivotal role in educating the public on the benefits of rooftop solar. The company has leveraged key cultural moments, such as Kumbh Mela and Chhath Puja, to promote solar energy, inspiring citizens to embrace the power of the sun. Additionally, the company’s latest campaign, ‘Aapki Roof, Aapki Takat,’ launched in January 2025 during Makar Sankranti, urges homeowners to transform their rooftops into sources of prosperity and growth by harnessing solar power.
Apart from its leadership in rooftop solar, Tata Power is also strengthening the solar value chain through significant investments in solar manufacturing. With a manufacturing capacity of 4.3 GW for solar cells and modules, the company is poised to further accelerate India’s transition to clean energy while reducing dependence on imported solar components.
