How Solar Saves Money Under TPCODL Tariffs

For a household consuming 300–400 units per month in the TPCODL area, a 3 kW solar system can offset 300–360 units per month (25 kWh/day average). At current TPCODL tariffs, this can save a meaningful portion of the electricity bill each month, depending on which consumption slab your usage falls into and your generation profile.
