    Utility-scale solar array

    From module to megawatt

    We source the whole solar BOM, then hold it to the number.

    Modules with DCR compliance, mounting, cabling, power equipment and evacuation, each benchmarked against BOMs we have executed and pushed through an RFQ. The estimate above is where the conversation starts; a firm, line-item quote is where it lands.

    Solar EPC · a ShakeDeal focus industry

    Sourcing across India's energy & solar sector

    From module DCR compliance to full balance-of-system and evacuation, ShakeDeal runs solar capex the way it runs enterprise procurement: benchmarked, RFQ-driven, and accountable line by line. Solar EPC sits alongside the industries our sourcing desks already serve.

    Solar cost estimator: FAQs

    Common questions on utility-scale solar project costs in India.

    How much does a utility-scale solar power plant cost in India?
    A ground-mount solar plant typically runs about Rs 2.7 to 4.2 crore per MWp (DC) all-in for a full EPC, depending on DCR versus non-DCR modules, fixed-tilt versus tracker mounting, and evacuation distance. Use the ShakeDeal solar cost estimator for an itemised, project-specific figure with a low-base-high band.
    What is the cost difference between DCR and non-DCR solar modules?
    DCR (Domestic Content Requirement) modules are made with Indian-manufactured cells and cost more than open-market non-DCR modules, roughly Rs 17 to 21 per Wp for genuine DCR versus Rs 14 to 16.5 per Wp for non-DCR. DCR is mandatory for many government-linked schemes such as PM-KUSUM and CPSU.
    What is included in a solar BOM?
    A utility-scale solar BOM covers modules, mounting structure, DC cabling and earthing, inverters, LT and HT panels, transformers, bus duct, evacuation (DP yard, bay extension, transmission line), SCADA and monitoring, civil works, and installation and commissioning.
    How accurate is this solar cost estimate?
    It is a planning-grade estimate with a low–base–high band, benchmarked against real BOMs ShakeDeal has sourced — not a spot index. For a firm, line-item number, request a benchmarked RFQ from ShakeDeal.
    Can ShakeDeal supply DCR-compliant solar modules?
    Yes. ShakeDeal sources factory-direct DCR and non-DCR modules and verifies ALMM List-II cell origin, so a low price is a genuine, compliant one. We also run the module RFQ across integrated makers to compress your landed price.
