Kirloskar Solar partners with GSL Energy Solutions for Kerala solar projects

By

Kirloskar Solar has appointed Kochi-based GSL Energy Solutions as its exclusive project partner for six districts in Kerala. This partnership aims to develop solar projects totaling 5 MW, valued at around Rs 20 million, during the 2024-25 period.

The collaboration will focus on driving commercial and residential solar projects across Ernakulam, Kottayam, Idukki, Pathanamthitta, Alappuzha, and Kollam. Kerala’s favorable climate, except during monsoons, and the availability of Ministry of New & Renewable Energy (MNRE) subsidies of Rs 78,000 for 3 kW to 10 kW residential projects, will help maximize the potential for solarisation in these regions.

This partnership will provide end-to-end solar solutions, including after-sales support, with an expected return on investment (RoI) within five years of installation.
