Mills and cold stores
Rice mills and cold stores run hardest by day and in season. We read twelve months of bills, split them into time-of-day blocks and size to the units solar can reach.

Local know-how
What is different about Cooch Behar
Low ground, raised kit
Where the monsoon floods low ground, inverters, distribution boxes and earth-pit covers go above the flood line, not at floor level.
Storms off the hills
Pre-monsoon storms bring hail and strong gusts. We specify modules and structures for the wind and hail risk at the site.
Homes on the subsidy
Most family homes here suit 2 to 5 kW on DCR panels with PM Surya Ghar, which we apply for and claim on your behalf.

Questions
Asked in Cooch Behar
Do you install rooftop solar in Cooch Behar?
Yes. Our team surveys, installs and maintains plants across Cooch Behar and Alipurduar districts, working from our store on Sevoke Road, Siliguri. Send your bills on WhatsApp and we come back with a written sizing.
Is the PM Surya Ghar subsidy available in Cooch Behar?
Yes. Homes on WBSEDCL anywhere in West Bengal can claim central assistance on DCR panels, up to the 3 kW level. We file the application, install, and file the claim after commissioning.
Can a rice mill run on solar during the day?
A grid-connected plant can supply most of a mill’s daytime units, but it switches off when the grid fails. Where a diesel set runs alongside, we add a DG synchronisation controller so the generator is never back-fed.
