Why Solar is the Only Solution for Commercial & Industrial Segment

The Growing Challenge for Businesses 

Commercial & Industrial enterprises are battling a perfect storm, increasing electricity tariffs, costly diesel generator backups, and relentless pressure to meet ESG commitments. What was once a manageable overhead has now become a strategic risk. 

Grid power is unpredictable, outages are disruptive, and diesel generators burn cash as fast as they burn fuel. Add investor and customer pressure for greener operations, and the energy model for C&I businesses is under serious strain. 

Solar: Not Just an Option, But the Answer 

Solar energy is no longer one of many alternatives; it’s the only solution that makes financial, operational, and reputational sense. By generating power on-site, businesses reduce dependency on high tariffs, secure their operations against outages, and demonstrate a genuine commitment to sustainability. 

Business Benefits That Matter 

• Reduced Bills – Cut electricity expenses with reliable solar generation. 

• Energy Independence – Hybrid and storage-ready systems keep productivity on track. 

• Sustainability Edge – Cut emissions and meet ESG standards. 

• Profitability Boost – Lower energy costs directly improve margins.

Eastman’s Tailored C&I Ecosystem 

Eastman understands that no two businesses are alike. That’s why we build tailored solar systems that meet specific needs: 

• Grid Tie Inverter (Range) – High-capacity grid-tie inverters with zero export function. 

• Hybrid Inverters (Range) – Ensure seamless continuity, even without batteries. 

• Lithium-Ion Batteries (Range) – Scalable solutions for peak load and demand management. 

• Solar Panels – TopCon & Mono PERC with up to 25 years of performance warranty. 

Backed by in-house manufacturing, strong R&D, Backward Integration and a nationwide service presence, Eastman ensures that your system is not just functional, it’s a business growth driver. 

Eastman, along with its partners, installed a 300-kW solar rooftop system, significantly reducing the plant’s dependency on grid electricity and diesel generators. Spread across the facility’s expansive rooftop, the system now generates over 4.5 lakh units of clean energy annually, cutting electricity bills by nearly 40% and saving around 400 tons of CO₂ emissions every year. The project ensured a payback period of less than 4 years while providing uninterrupted power for critical operations, proving that solar is not only reliable but also a cost-effective solution for industrial setups. 

For C&I, solar isn’t a nice-to-have. It’s the only viable path forward. With Eastman, businesses unlock cost savings, uptime, and green credibility - securing not just energy, but long-term competitive advantage.
