Rooftop solar for hotels and resorts
For a hotel, electricity is one of the biggest running costs, and most of it is used in the day: ACs, laundry, kitchen, pumps and lights. Sunwon Solar designs rooftop solar that cuts that bill, with tax benefits that make the numbers even better.
Why solar works so well for hotels
- Daytime load meets daytime sun: room ACs, laundry, kitchen, water heating and pumps.
- Higher tariff, bigger saving: commercial EB tariffs are higher than home tariffs, so every unit your roof makes saves more.
- Lower cost per occupied room, every month, for 25 years and more.
- A green story for guests: many travellers, and booking sites, now look for eco-friendly stays.
Tax benefits for your business
Up to 40% depreciation
Under Income Tax rules, a solar power plant used in your business gets depreciation of up to 40% (written-down value) in the first year. Commission it by 30 September to claim the full rate for that year; after that, half the rate applies in year one.
GST input tax credit
A rooftop solar plant used in your business is treated as plant and machinery, and advance rulings have allowed input tax credit on it. GST-registered hotels can usually set the GST paid on the system off against their output GST.
No subsidy needed
PM Surya Ghar is for homes only. For a business, the depreciation and GST credit work much like a subsidy, and the bill saving starts from the first month.
Tax treatment depends on your business, who owns the plant and your tax regime. Please confirm with your CA; we give you the invoices and documents they need.

Questions people ask
Can a hotel get the PM Surya Ghar subsidy?
No. PM Surya Ghar is for residential consumers. Hotels and resorts usually gain more from the tax side: up to 40% depreciation in the first year and GST input credit, plus the bill saving.
How big a solar system does a hotel need?
It depends on your daytime load and your roof. As a rough guide, a guest house with a ₹30,000 monthly bill often suits 15–20 kW, and a resort with a ₹1 lakh bill suits 50 kW or more. We size it from your bills, free.
Will installation disturb our guests?
We plan the work around your occupancy: noisy work in the daytime, materials moved through service areas, and most small systems finished in a few days.
Do you work in Auroville and the ECR resorts?
Yes. We cover Puducherry, Auroville, Kottakuppam, the ECR belt and Tamil Nadu towns such as Cuddalore, Villupuram and Tindivanam.
