From natural habitat on the verge of extinction to rise in global warming, there are various reasons to worry about. Most of the problems have been emerging due to the use of non-renewable energy and its after-effects. This, for years, has been leading to issues like the high level of carbon emission, greenhouse gas effect, ozone layer depletion and the list goes on.
While there are still many issues that need to be addressed, one alternative to reducing the consumption of nonrenewable is the use of solar energy. The major benefit of solar energy is that it is harmless to the planet. But one constant problem is the high maintenance of the solar plant system. Fortunately, ONergy Solar is tackling this issue efficiently.
Seamless Services
A leading solar enterprise, ONergy is an award-winning solar enterprise. It provides comprehensive services related to the design, procurement, testing, supply, installation and commissioning and O and M services through tailor-made solutions. The latest initiative of ONergy is to promote rooftop solar and open access/group captive solutions where the company provides solutions to reputed corporates. It helps the clients to reduce the electricity bills through operating expenditure (OPEX) and capital expenditure (CAPEX) with financing solutions.
Clients of ONergy are benefitted by signing a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) which enables them to install Solar PV systems with zero upfront investment. It also helps clients with a significantly lower tariff rate when compared to the current electricity tariff. The clients are free to pay as per their usage (pay for units consumed – pay per use). ONergy clients are generally carefree about the plant maintenance or warranty as the company takes care of these issues after the installation of the system.
The Face of Onergy
With exceptional business skills, Mr Rishabh Mundra is the Director – Business Development. Rishabh completed his graduation from St. Xaviers Kolkata in Economics Hons. He spearheads the business development for ONergy Solar. Having worked in the financial services sector for more than 6 years, he has been responsible to develop various business verticals from scratch. After joining ONergy as a director in 2018, he has accelerated the growth of the company and has made it gain significant traction.
Working with corporates on a PAN India basis, he has been able to leverage his goodwill and help them understand the need to partially convert their energy needs to solar. Which, thereby helps them reduce their costs and contribute to a greener planet at the same time.
Overcoming the Obstacles
The biggest challenge faced by the industry is a substandard installation with several engineering faults and poor after-sales service. Due to a lack of understanding about solar energy and its system, a hike in project cost and high chances of disruption of the plants has been the main obstacle for ONergy to convince the clients to shift to solar.
While working on the issue, ONergy Solar is providing cutting edge services with superior design and engineering, making projects more professionally managed. Challenges also exist at the policy level which the company is addressing through various associations.
Another challenge is the increasing competition with respect to the OPEX model. To this, Rishabh says, ”However, we at ONergy having a team of young professionals coupled with our superior engineering and consultancy helps us along with our network team connects at the senior management level of leading companies to help in faster decision making.”
