MatruOS for a solar power producer

Set up the way a solar power producer runs: selling every unit generated to the DISCOM at the PPA tariff for 25 years (KUSUM A/C); or to factories under open access or group captive at a discount to the grid tariff; lease rent where land is leased to a developer. Routines, workflows, registers, licences and an AI team that knows the work are ready when you sign up.

What this solves

What a solar power producer deals with today, and what MatruOS sets up for it

01Today

DISCOM pays bills months late and surcharge is never claimed. Dead strings and down inverters go unnoticed for days.

02In MatruOS

MatruOS sets up 7 routines, 1 workflow, 3 registers and 5 licences for a solar power producer, with an AI team that reads your own records and prepares the work.

03What changes

The right person is reminded at the right time, approvals wait for whoever decides, and every licence has a renewal reminder. Anything that sends, pays, signs, files or deletes waits for a person's approval.

Where you sit

MatruOS starts from how your business earns

Who you sell to, who you buy from, how credit moves and where you sit in the chain decide how your screens, reminders and reports are set up.

  1. Solar plant
  2. 11/33 kV line
  3. DISCOM substation
  4. agricultural feeders and consumers

Your customers

  • State DISCOM (PPA buyer)
  • Factories and commercial buyers (open access, group captive)

Your suppliers

  • EPC contractor (modules, inverters, structures)
  • O&M contractor or own technicians
  • Bank or NBFC (project loan)
  • Landowners (lease)
  • Insurer

Credit and cash

DISCOM pays monthly bills with 30-60 days due date, often 60-120 days late; late payment surcharge under the LPS Rules 2022; bank loan EMIs monthly or quarterly

Up-front capex (70-80% bank loan) then a steady monthly bill; DISCOM delays squeeze loan repayments
