In The First Quarter of FY26, Tata Power Renewable Energy Ltd. Achieved Record Rooftop Solar Growth.
India’s renewable energy sector continues to gain significant momentum, and one of the most impressive success stories from Q1 FY26 is the exponential growth of Tata Power Renewable Energy Limited (TPREL) in rooftop solar installations. A subsidiary of The Tata Power Company Limited, TPREL has demonstrated unmatched progress in helping the nation transition toward cleaner, decentralised energy sources.
In this blog, we take a closer look at TPREL’s record-breaking performance, its alignment with national clean energy goals, and how its integrated solar ecosystem is shaping the future of solar adoption in India.
Unprecedented Growth: Rooftop Installations Up 416% Year Over Year
Compared to 8,838 rooftop solar installations in the same quarter of FY25, TPREL completed an impressive 45,589 installations in Q1 FY26, representing a 416% year-over-year increase. This astounding expansion unmistakably shows that rooftop solar systems are becoming more and more popular among residential as well as commercial and industrial customers.
This performance sets a new benchmark for the Indian rooftop solar market and underlines TPREL’s leadership in driving mass-scale decentralised solar adoption.
Milestone Achieved: 3.4 GW Capacity & 2.04 Lakh Installations
TPREL has now exceeded 2,04,000 rooftop solar installations nationwide with the most recent additions. Over 3.4 gigawatts (GW) of rooftop solar capacity have been installed, accounting for a sizeable portion of India’s total renewable energy production.
These numbers are not just milestones for the company—they also reflect a larger narrative of how decentralised renewable energy is taking hold across Indian cities, towns, and rural areas. As energy security and cost savings become top priorities for Indian households and businesses, rooftop solar emerges as the most scalable and accessible solution.
Supporting India’s Renewable Energy Vision for 2030
TPREL’s achievements directly contribute to India’s broader vision of installing 500 GW of non-fossil fuel capacity by 2030—a target that places India among global leaders in clean energy. This vision is part of the country’s commitment to reduce its dependence on fossil fuels, cut carbon emissions, and combat climate change in line with global sustainability goals.
By adding decentralised rooftop solar capacity at scale, TPREL plays a critical role in ensuring energy democratization. Rooftop systems allow end users—whether they’re in tier-1 cities or remote towns—to generate and consume their own clean power, reducing reliance on the central grid and traditional energy sources.
Powering the Pradhan Mantri Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana
TPREL’s success is also closely aligned with national initiatives such as the Pradhan Mantri Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana, launched to promote free solar electricity for Indian households. Through its Ghar Ghar Solar campaign, TPREL has helped thousands of families transition to solar energy with zero upfront costs, government subsidies, and reliable support.
The “Ghar Ghar Solar” initiative is one of the most impactful campaigns in India’s renewable energy landscape today. TPREL’s strategic execution of this campaign—through awareness drives, local engagement, and digital support—has ensured wider outreach and faster adoption in both urban and semi-urban regions.
Expansive Channel and Service Network Across India
One of the key drivers behind TPREL’s success is its robust on-ground presence. With a network of:
· 604 channel partners operating in 400+ cities, and
· 240 authorized service partners serving in 560 cities, …
TPREL has built an ecosystem that ensures both reach and reliability.
This network enables seamless project execution, prompt post-installation service, and a strong foundation for scaling customer support. Such a widespread presence is particularly valuable in ensuring that the benefits of rooftop solar reach every corner of India.
With over 2 lakh customers, including 1.8 lakh residential users, TPREL is not just a provider of solar technology—it is a trusted energy partner for Indian households and businesses.
Expanding Solar Manufacturing in India
Apart from installations, TPREL is also heavily investing in domestic solar manufacturing. With a production capacity of 4.3 GW for solar cells and modules, the company supports India’s vision of Aatmanirbhar Bharat (self-reliant India).
This manufacturing capacity not only reduces dependence on imported solar components but also boosts job creation, enhances quality control, and makes India a global hub for solar equipment.
By integrating manufacturing, distribution, installation, and service, TPREL ensures better coordination, faster turnaround times, and a superior customer experience across the board.
What This Means for the Solar Industry
TPREL’s performance sets an example for the entire solar industry. It highlights the critical success factors for large-scale solar growth in India:
· Strong distribution and partner networks
· Supportive government policies and subsidies
· Integrated manufacturing-to-installation capabilities
· Focused public campaigns that raise awareness and build trust
As more players enter the market and customer awareness continues to grow, India is poised to become one of the largest rooftop solar markets globally.
