Galo Solar: Empowering India’s Green Transition With Rooftop Solar Solutions
As a PM Surya Ghar Yojana vendor, Galo Solar aids customers with financing and net metering, making solar accessible
Jai, CEO, Galo Solar
Galo Solar, a leading rooftop solar energy company, is helping households and industries transition from fossil fuels to clean, renewable power through end-to-end solar solutions. “Solar power is a low-carbon-emitting, green, and renewable source of energy that produces less climate change and cleaner air,” says Jai, CEO of Galo Solar, in an exclusive interaction with Bizz Buzz. With a 2 kW rooftop system capable of reducing around 3 tons of CO2 annually, Jai highlights solar’s vital role in combating climate change. As an approved vendor under the PM Surya Ghar Yojana, Galo Solar supports customers with financing, net metering, and government subsidies to ensure solar adoption is accessible and sustainable. “We’re not just installing panels—we’re empowering communities,” Jai adds. The company also drives awareness through education campaigns and community outreach, ensuring India’s transition to solar is both environmentally and socially impactful
What measurable impact can rooftop solar systems have on reducing the carbon footprint of residential and industrial users?
The process of installing a solar rooftop system includes the mounting of solar panels on the roof of a residential home, business building, or factory to generate electricity directly from the sun. This renewable and clean source of energy significantly lowers the carbon footprint by not emitting harmful greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide. For example, a 1 kW system would eliminate around 1.5 tons of CO₂ per year, while a 5 kW system would eliminate around 7.5 tons per year. With 1,000 houses with 2 kW systems installed, they would be eliminating almost 3,000 tons per year. Solar power on rooftops enables industrial and household consumers to fight climate change proactively, reduces energy bills, and heads towards a green age. It not only enables them to be energy independent but also safeguards the environment for generations to come.
How do solar companies engage with government initiatives like PM Surya Ghar Yojana to contribute to India’s renewable energy targets?
As per the agenda of the government to deliver clean energy at the grassroots level, the PM Surya Ghar Yojana was launched to support rooftop solar systems in the country. The company, being an empowered and empowered vendor under this scheme, is taking a prominent role in implementing it on a pan-India level. With its extensive dealer network, it offers door-to-door support to customers, from the selection of the right system and designing as per specifications to final installation at maximum speed. The government also offers direct subsidy transfer, simplifying financial barriers for homeowners. Apart from this, it is also actively engaged in solar power and government policy awareness generation, driving India's vision of clean energy.
In what ways do financing options and net metering influence the accessibility and long-term sustainability of rooftop solar systems for households?
Net metering and financing are facilitated to use the energy provided by the sun through the lowering of costs by providing finance and a net metering facility. To mitigate the anxiety of high initial expense, banks and other financial institutions provide loans or EMI facilities, and the company supports customers with the same. This makes it possible for customers to have a system installed without an initial large bill, with the savings on electricity bills repaying the loan. It also offers net metering—the instance wherein your panels are producing more energy than you use; the surplus is fed into the grid, and you get paid or credited.
What are the broader implications of shifting energy consumption from fossil fuels to solar in both urban and rural areas?
The transition from fossil fuels to solar power among the population in urban and rural regions has significant implications. Solar power is a low-carbon-emitting, green, and renewable source of energy that produces less climate change and cleaner air. Solar power, compared to fossil fuels, emits fewer harmful air pollutants into the atmosphere and provides cleaner public health, particularly to more dense or poorer communities. It also provides long-term energy cost savings and energy independence, particularly for remote communities with limited grid penetration. Aside from its environmental benefits, the solar industry creates local jobs and economic development. This change is not simply about clean power—it's about creating a cleaner, healthier, and more equitable future for everyone.
What role does consumer education play in driving long-term adoption of solar energy, and what are some effective ways to communicate environmental benefits?
To turn solar power use into a reality in the years to come, the company empowers its customers with vital information regarding how the solar system works, how much an individual should invest in it, what the benefits of it are, how it can help the environment, how it can be maintained on a daily basis, and how it should be checked periodically. Individuals can confidently install solar power with these details. Various effective means through which the environmental advantages of solar power can be conveyed include simplifying things in terms, examples, graphics, and videos; organizing campaigns to create awareness among people; and providing success stories to the masses
How does Galo Solar’s integrated approach contribute to promoting sustainable energy adoption in India?
The company does not merely place a solar panel on the roof but offers an integrated, end-to-end solution of solar power, i.e., supplying panels, inverters, ACDB, DCDB, and DC cables—everything under the brand. With the delivery of an entire system, the customers don't have to endure the ordeal of making arrangements with multiple sellers for maintenance or servicing. Customers can simply call up for hassle-free, convenient service. The service personnel can inspect and repair the entire setup in one go. Also, it is engaged in collaboration with government policies to simplify the adoption of solar power, decrease the carbon footprint, save the environment, and minimize the cost of electricity in India.
As Galo Solar expands into high-potential states, how are you ensuring that your growth remains aligned with environmental and community sustainability?
The company’s growth isn't merely a matter of growing a business; it's about sparking a green energy revolution in all corners of the country to share a greener, cleaner world with everyone. Our purpose starts with sustainability, and we take every environmental practice seriously by applying them stringently to not cause any harm whatsoever. Aside from the environmental aspect of the solar energy industry, we wish to leave our footprint in host communities by creating jobs, educating them about clean energy, and providing extended support and benefits. Its growth with a purpose—for people and the planet.
