This Independence Day, Tata Power Brings Energy Independence to Homes and Businesses Through Rooftop Solar & Battery Storage; Targets 30 Lakh Consumers by 2029

National, August 5, 2026: As India celebrates its 79th Independence Day, Tata Power is empowering consumers with a new form of freedom - energy independence. Bringing together Rooftop Solar and Battery Storage Solutions (BESS), the company is enabling households, shops, clinics, schools and businesses to generate, store and consume their own clean energy, reducing dependence on the grid, diesel generators and rising electricity costs.

The integrated Rooftop Solar + Battery Storage Combo enables consumers to maximize the value of every unit of solar energy they generate. Instead of exporting excess solar power back to the grid during the day, surplus energy can be stored and used after sunset or during power outages, ensuring uninterrupted, clean and reliable electricity whenever it is needed. The solution not only helps lower electricity bills but also provides greater energy resilience and peace of mind.

Tata Power Solaroof currently serves over 500,000 rooftop solar consumers across India and has set a target of reaching 3 million consumers by 2029.

"Energy independence is a national need - it's something every home and business can now achieve," said a Tata Power Spokesperson. "With rooftop solar and battery storage working together, consumers no longer have to choose between clean energy and reliable power-they get both. More importantly, they can invest with confidence. Solar is a lifelong investment, and with Tata Power's trusted quality, genuine warranty and nationwide service network, consumers have the assurance that their clean energy investment will continue delivering value for decades."

Designed for Indian operating conditions, Tata Power's Battery Energy Storage Solutions leverage advanced Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) battery technology, offering superior safety, an operating life of up to 10 years, faster charging, higher efficiency and significantly lower maintenance compared with conventional lead-acid inverter batteries. The systems feature intelligent battery management, silent operation and seamless automatic switchover during grid outages, providing reliable backup power without the noise, emissions or fuel costs associated with diesel generators.

Available in capacities ranging from 5 kWh for residential consumers and small businesses to 200 kWh and beyond for larger commercial establishments, the solutions are customized to connected load and backup requirements. Every installation incorporates a safety-first architecture featuring BIS-compliant battery cells, intelligent battery management systems and the inherently stable chemistry of LFP batteries.

For Commercial & Industrial (C&I) consumers, Tata Power also offers a comprehensive PowerHub portfolio of Battery Energy Storage Solutions designed for diverse applications and load requirements: PowerHub Core: 60 kWh – 600 kWh; PowerHub Pro AC Plug & Play: 261 kWh;PowerHub Pro DC Configurable: 261 kWh – 2.5 MWh;PowerHub Max: 3 MWh – 5 MWh

Together, these solutions enable businesses to optimize energy costs, enhance power reliability, integrate renewable energy and improve operational resilience.

Beyond delivering energy security, Tata Power is equally committed to protecting consumers' long-term investment in solar. Every genuine Tata Power Solar module is manufactured at Tata Power's BIS, IEC, TÜV Rheinland and UL-certified manufacturing facility, adhering to rigorous global quality standards for durability, safety and long-term performance.

The transition to a cleaner energy future requires not only innovative renewable energy solutions but also financing models that make adoption easier for businesses. Tata Power's SunSmart Flexi Scheme - Pay as You Save is a forward-thinking initiative that addresses this need by enabling Commercial & Industrial customers to invest in rooftop solar with greater financial flexibility. The Scheme offers EMIs or lease rentals that can be lower than projected monthly solar savings, financing of up to 85% of project cost, collateral-free funding, and flexible repayment tenures of up to seven years. By aligning repayments with expected solar benefits, the scheme helps businesses optimize cash flows while accelerating their sustainability journey. Initiatives like these are instrumental in making clean energy investments more accessible, empowering industries to reduce energy costs, enhance operational resilience, and contribute meaningfully to India's renewable energy ambitions.

Recognising that the true test of quality begins after installation, Tata Power backs its rooftop solar systems with up to 25 years warranty on solar modules, along with a comprehensive minimum five-year system warranty covering both product and workmanship.

This is complemented by lifecycle service and support through more than 275 service centres across over 700 cities, backed by 37 years of Tata Power's leadership in India's solar industry.

Under the Government of India's PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana, rooftop solar adoption is accelerating across the country, helping households reduce electricity bills while contributing to India's clean energy transition. Battery storage represents the next phase of this journey by enabling consumers to maximize self-consumption of the solar power they generate while ensuring uninterrupted electricity during grid outages. Hybrid rooftop solar systems integrating battery storage are also eligible for Central Financial Assistance under the scheme, making energy independence even more accessible.

Tata Power Solaroof offers these integrated solutions with professional installation, genuine long-term warranty and comprehensive after-sales service into a single end-to-end offering.

As India moves towards a cleaner, more resilient and self-reliant energy future, Tata Power is helping every household and business celebrate the spirit of Independence Day by taking control of its own energy - through trusted technology, reliable battery storage and lifetime support that protects their investment for years to come.
