How Solitech is Cutting Cold Storage OpEx by 40% for Gujarat’s Agro-Exporters

How Solitech is Cutting Cold Storage OpEx by 40% for Gujarat’s Agro-Exporters

Many states of India are located on the coast. This is especially true of Gujarat. In Gujarat, agro hubs have developed in Kutch and Saurashtra. Import and export of goods are very important for the development of the country and increasing national income. We buy many things from other countries and export to other countries. Due to the increasing demand for agro exports, it is very important to store vegetables and fruits. About 30% to 40% of total cold storage is used for storing such items. In such a situation, you can imagine that all profit is lost. Rising tariffs and peak-hour charges are eroding exporters’ profit margins. Solitech Solar has clients like these who are looking for solar systems in agro export, which have proven to be a game-changing solution for such businesses. Taking advantage of Gujarat’s new renewable policy, the cost of cold storage systems, which was around 40%, has now been reduced through solar.

We have discussed this in many blogs so far, and you must have understood that solar power is proving to be important not just in one industry but in various sectors—be it diamonds, textiles, agriculture, or sports. Solar power is even being used in the world’s biggest cricket stadiums. For a batsman to hit a six, the ball may hit the panel directly and break it. There should be a rule in cricket that if someone breaks a panel, they should be given eight runs instead of six. Let’s get back to the topic:

1) Cooling as a Service

Our goal in the coming years is not just to sell panels. We are working specifically on how solar power can be implemented in every sector and how it benefits our customers.

In all regions of India, apart from Gujarat where agro exports are prominent, power consumption increases when it comes to maintaining cold storage. If you take the help of solar panels, then you do not have to worry about maintenance costs.

Exporters who used to pay millions in electricity bills have now been able to cut their costs in half with Solitech’s solar-hybrid model.

2) 40% savings is worth it

Generally speaking, working in the agro export sector at this level is not the job of every manufacturing company. Where companies stop thinking, Solitech Solar starts thinking.

In modern times, Solitech’s new-generation panels work efficiently even in heat above 45°C, making them perfect for Gujarat’s summers.

At night, when grid electricity is expensive, Solitech’s smart battery storage system provides solar energy stored during the day. This eliminates peak load charges.

3) Why is Agro Export beneficial?

It is important that vegetables or other items do not spoil, and for that, a proper and stable power supply is required. The system helps maintain a constant temperature.

With traditional power sources, there is always a possibility of power cuts, along with a greater need for expensive diesel. If this work is done through Solitech’s high-quality modules, then reliable power is available through 24×7 uninterrupted solar energy.

Buyers from Europe and the USA now prefer exporters with a Green Supply Chain. With Solitech, your business becomes ESG-compliant.

4) Benefits of government schemes

Talking specifically about agro exports, this benefit is available with solar under the PM KUSUM scheme, which is specially designed for such applications.

Under CAPEX subsidy, financial assistance of 30% to 50% is available for setting up a plant.

There are also significant savings in income tax through accelerated depreciation. Our team will help you through the entire process, from documentation to availing the subsidy.

5) Success of a potato exporter from North Gujarat

A potato exporter in Patan taluka installed a 500-kilowatt solar power system.

Before installing solar, his monthly electricity bill was around ₹4.5 lakh. After installing solar, the bill reduced to just ₹1.5 to ₹2 lakh.

He can now use the saved money for expanding exports or importing more goods. In other words, his business has become much more efficient.
