Why Digital Solar Is Better for Renters and Apartment Owners

As cities grow and apartment living becomes the norm, millions of people are looking for ways to reduce electricity costs and support renewable energy.
Unfortunately, traditional rooftop solar systems are often out of reach for renters and apartment dwellers due to space, ownership, and policy restrictions.

This is where Digital Solar — pioneered by Solar Capital — steps in as a game-changing solution.
It enables anyone, even without a rooftop, to earn rewards and save on electricity costs while actively contributing to a cleaner, greener planet.

The Challenge: Rooftop Solar Doesn’t Work for Most Renters

While rooftop solar has gained popularity, it comes with several limitations, especially for renters and apartment owners.

1. Lack of Rooftop Access

If you live in a high-rise apartment or rental property, you usually don’t own the roof.
This makes it nearly impossible to install a solar panel system, even if you’re willing to pay for it.

2. High Upfront Costs

Rooftop solar requires a large initial investment, often ₹1.5 to ₹3 lakhs for an average home setup.
For renters who might move within a few years, this doesn’t make financial sense.

3. Maintenance & Repairs

Even after installation, rooftop systems require ongoing maintenance, such as:

Cleaning panels regularly
Repairing faulty inverters
Replacing damaged wiring

For renters, this is added hassle and cost, especially when the property isn’t theirs.

4. Policy & Permissions

In many cities, housing societies or landlords don’t allow individual tenants to install solar panels.
Even if they agree, navigating permissions and approvals can be a lengthy process.

Digital Solar: A Smarter, Simpler Alternative

Digital Solar is a virtual solar ownership model that removes all the barriers of rooftop systems.

Instead of installing panels on your home, you own a fraction of a solar farm digitally through Solar Capital.
The energy generated by your share is sold to the grid, and you earn rewards every month — just like owning rooftop panels, but without the headaches.

Here’s how it works:

Why Digital Solar Is Perfect for Renters & Apartment Owners

Here’s why Digital Solar is far better than rooftop solar for urban dwellers:

1. No Rooftop Required

You can own solar power even if you live in a rented flat or a high-rise apartment.
All you need is a smartphone and internet connection — no physical installation necessary.

2. Low Starting Investment

With Solar Capital, you can start with as little as ₹25,000, compared to the ₹2-3 lakh upfront cost of rooftop panels.
This makes it affordable and accessible for most households.

3. Hassle-Free Ownership

No cleaning or maintenance
No repair costs
No dealing with installers or electricians

Solar Capital handles everything — you just sit back and earn monthly rewards.

4. Portability

If you move to a new city or home, you don’t lose your investment.
Your digital solar units stay with you, unlike rooftop systems that are tied to one location.

5. Regular Monthly Rewards

Instead of waiting years to break even, you start earning from day one.
These rewards can be used to offset your electricity bills or reinvest for compounding growth.
