What KSBS SOLAR does

KSBS Solar is a business unit of KSBS Group (KSBS Management and Technology Pvt Ltd), established in 2014 and headquartered in Chennai, India. The company designs, supplies, and installs solar energy systems for residential, commercial, industrial, and government customers, with operations claimed across India, Singapore, the UAE (Dubai), and Canada. Its core offering comprises on-grid, off-grid, and hybrid solar PV solutions backed by a hardware catalog that includes Growatt string inverters ranging from 2kW (MIC 2000TL-X) to 100kW (MAX 100KTL3-X-LV), Navitas bifacial and N-type TOPCon solar modules, Enphase microinverters, MC4 connectors, and ABB EV charging stations (DC Wallbox 24kW, Terra 54 50kW, AC Wallbox Level 2). Connectivity standards supported include OCPP, RFID, WiFi/GPRS, and remote monitoring via OEM platforms such as ShineWiFi/Lan/Link and ABB Ability Connected Services.

The company operates a dual go-to-market: a direct-to-consumer e-commerce storefront at ksbssolar.com with publicly listed unit pricing (e.g., Rs.21,900 for a 2kW inverter to Rs.299,999 for a 100kW inverter), pan-India courier delivery with free shipping above Rs.50,000, and ICICI payment gateway integration; plus a sales-led motion for commercial and industrial projects with field consultation, energy audits, and quote-based pricing via phone (+91 44 49944600, +91 9884671677) and WhatsApp. Revenue is generated primarily through hardware resale (Growatt, Navitas, Enphase, ABB) and professional services for system design, installation, and maintenance. Customer acquisition relies on content marketing via the website blog, organic social (Facebook, Twitter), a Google Play mobile app, and a testimonials page. Modules carry Indian certifications (ALMM, BIS, IS 14286, IS 61730, IEC 61701, ISO 9001/14001/45001) supporting MNRE subsidy eligibility, while ABB chargers carry CE, CHAdeMO, RCM, and EAC marks. The company has no disclosed funding, no acquisitions, and operates as a founder-controlled private division within the KSBS Group.
