Are Solar Panels Beneficial for Hospitals in Delhi?
Hospitals run 24×7 — and so do their electricity bills. Solar is the smartest long-term investment a hospital in Delhi can make.
Why Solar is a Perfect Fit for Hospitals in Delhi
A mid-size hospital in Delhi can easily spend ₹2–8 lakh per month on electricity. Between 24/7 lighting, HVAC systems, medical equipment, elevators, and operation theatres, the load is enormous and constant.
Delhi’s commercial electricity tariff stands at ₹8–12 per unit. Solar generates electricity at an effective cost of just ₹1.5–2 per unit over its lifetime — saving 80–85% per unit.
Real Projects: Himank Energies has successfully installed solar at Nirmala Hospital, Daivik Hospital, and Jyoti Nursing Home in Delhi — all saving significantly from day one.
- Large roof areas — ideal for substantial solar installations
- Daytime solar generation aligns with peak hospital operations
- Solar reduces dependence on expensive diesel generators
- Net metering allows selling surplus power back to the grid
- Improves hospital’s green credentials and carbon footprint
Solar Panel Cost for Hospitals in India (2025)
We install systems starting from 3 kW for small clinics up to 5 MW for large hospital complexes:
| Facility Type | System Size | Estimated Cost | Monthly Savings |
|---|---|---|---|
| Small Clinic / Dispensary | 3–10 kW | ₹2–5.5 lakh | ₹4,000–12,000 |
| Nursing Home (10–30 beds) | 10–25 kW | ₹5.5–14 lakh | ₹12,000–30,000 |
| Mid-Size Hospital (30–80 beds) | 25–75 kW | ₹14–42 lakh | ₹30,000–90,000 |
| Large Hospital (80–200 beds) | 75–250 kW | ₹42 lakh–1.4 cr | ₹90,000–3 lakh |
| Multi-Speciality / Hospital Chain | 250 kW–5 MW | ₹1.4 cr–27 cr | ₹3 lakh–30 lakh+ |
ROI Example — 50 kW Hospital Solar System
| Parameter | Value |

Frequently Asked Questions
Can a hospital run completely on solar?
A grid-tied system can offset 50–80% of daytime consumption. For critical loads like ICUs and OTs, a hybrid system with battery backup is recommended for complete coverage.
Does installation disrupt hospital operations?
No. Installation is done on the rooftop and takes 5–15 days depending on system size, with zero disruption to hospital operations below.
What is the minimum roof area needed?
Every 1 kW requires approximately 70–100 sq. ft. Our minimum 3 kW system needs just 210–300 sq. ft. of shadow-free rooftop.
