Tea factories, homes, hospitals and mills, next door to our Siliguri store.
Solarverse Solutions designs, installs and maintains rooftop solar across Jalpaiguri district and the Dooars from its store on Sevoke Road, Siliguri. We are an authorised Waaree channel partner, and a tea factory in Jalpaiguri district is one of the plants we are building right now.

Most factories manufacture from about March to November and slow right down in winter. Units banked in the quiet months carry forward, but whatever is still banked on 1 April is lost, so we size to the season the factory actually runs.
Withering and drying sheds have large metal roofs. Modules go on rails along the sheet profile, with walkways for cleaning, after we have checked the purlins.
The foothills see frequent thunderstorms. Every plant gets its own earth pits and a lightning arrester, with earthing designed for soil that stays wet half the year.
Short, hazy December days and the long Dooars monsoon both cut output. Our generation band always shows both as they really are.
Homes, shops, hotels, hospitals, schools, mills and factories.
Yes. We are building a plant at a tea factory in Jalpaiguri district now. A tea factory plant is sized to the manufacturing season and the time-of-day bill, because units banked in the quiet winter months lapse on 1 April under the West Bengal rules.
We do. We prepare and file the net-metering application with WBSEDCL, follow up the inspection and, for plants of 100 kW and above, get the Chief Electrical Inspector’s approval before the plant is switched on.
About 3.4 to 4 units per kWp per day averaged over the year on a shadow-free roof, roughly 1,240 to 1,460 units per kWp a year. March to May is strongest; December and January are the weakest, with the monsoon months not far behind.
