In recent years, industries and businesses have increasingly embraced solar energy as a
sustainable and cost-effective power source. Among the various solar solutions, Captive
Solar Parks have gained significant traction, offering companies greater control over their
energy supply while reducing costs and carbon footprints.
In 2025, with rising electricity tariffs and evolving open access regulations, more
companies are adopting the captive solar power plant model—also known as CPP in solar—to
achieve energy independence, long-term savings, and sustainability. This blog explores the
concept, benefits, and implementation of captive solar parks and highlights Onix Renewable's
role in this rapidly growing sector.
A Captive Solar Park is a solar power plant developed by a company or industrial facility exclusively to meet its own energy needs. Unlike traditional solar projects that sell electricity to the grid, captive solar parks are designed for self-consumption. This approach ensures energy reliability, cost predictability, and long-term savings for businesses.
Captive solar solutions significantly reduce electricity expenses over time, as the levelized cost of energy (LCOE) is often lower than prevailing grid tariffs.
Businesses can reduce dependency on the grid, mitigating risks associated with power outages and fluctuating electricity prices.
Captive solar parks contribute to a greener future by reducing carbon emissions, aligning with corporate sustainability goals.
Many governments offer exemptions on cross-subsidy surcharges, wheeling charges, and transmission fees, making captive solar a financially attractive option. Additionally, tax benefits such as accelerated depreciation help further optimize investment returns.
Assess solar potential, energy consumption patterns, and project viability.
Select suitable solar panels, inverters, and infrastructure to optimize performance.
Explore options such as direct ownership, group captive models, or power purchase agreements (PPAs) based on business needs.
Engage experienced EPC (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction) partners to ensure seamless setup.
Implement real-time monitoring and scheduled maintenance to maximize efficiency.
