MakeMySolar

What MakeMySolar does

MakeMySolar is a solar rooftop installation company operating as a brand under Smart Home Technologies, an Indian private entity headquartered in Bangalore and led by a founder claiming more than 30 years of customer service experience. The company designs, supplies, and installs grid-connected, off-grid, and hybrid solar photovoltaic systems, alongside battery energy storage, energy audits, and consulting services, for three customer segments: individual residential homeowners, housing societies and residential welfare associations (RWAs), and commercial and industrial clients. Its stated geographic base is South India, with public ambitions to scale to a nationwide footprint.

The underlying technology stack is built entirely on third-party, off-the-shelf components rather than proprietary hardware or software. PV modules are sourced from Adani Solar, Tata Power Solar, Emmvee, Saatvik, and Renewsys; inverters are sourced from Solis, Deye, and Luminous; and battery storage is supplied through standard channel partners. Service delivery spans site assessment, custom system design, installation, commissioning, and ongoing maintenance, with explicit support for the central government's PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijlee Yojana subsidy program (up to 60% subsidy for residential systems up to 2 kW). No AI, ML, or proprietary software platform is disclosed.

MakeMySolar's revenue model combines one-time project-based installation fees (quote-based, varying with system size and customer requirements) with optional recurring maintenance and support contracts. The go-to-market motion appears to combine direct-to-consumer website lead capture with field-based enterprise sales for commercial accounts. The company is bootstrapped under Smart Home Technologies with no disclosed funding rounds, headcount, or financial metrics, and its website displays unpopulated "0+" counters for years, clients, megawatts, and projects — strongly suggesting either a very early operating stage or minimal cumulative throughput to date.
