India has been making significant strides toward achieving its renewable energy targets, with solar power playing a crucial role in the country's energy mix. The Solar Products market in India has been growing steadily over the past few years and is expected to continue its growth trajectory in the future which is a major uprising in green energy.
Some of the major pain points faced by customers in the solar power segment are affordability, reliability, and installation especially when it comes to industrial and commercial properties with huge sheds. Installation is a crucial factor in the success of a solar power system.
It requires specialized knowledge and expertise to design install and maintain a solar power system. Many a time, consumers are assisted only with the product purchase and they have to look for engineers to cover the wiring, installation, and report submission aspects. One of the major formalities is the mandatory registration with the government of the meters that are installed in their plant for the import and export of electricity units.
All these factors make the consumer apprehensive about switching to solar or not. MPOWER INDIA assists its customers not only with product purchases, but also with the entire EPC (Engineering, Plumbing, and Civil). Through this service, it caters to all the solar power needs right from procurement to the installation and after-sales services giving customers the readiness and confidence to switch to solar.
MPOWER has been in the power Industry for the past 17 years. Considering the solar Industry, the company has an experience of approximately five years. “Over the years we have seen a massive leap in the demand for solar. In fact, the clientele that we built in the past 17 years has given us a lot of business for solar as well. We take pride in being the Authorised Channel Partner for TATA Power Solar Systems ltd which is one of the biggest players in the solar industry. This gives our customers more conviction regarding the quality and technology status of the product”, mentions Mayank Mittal, Director, MPOWER INDIA.

MPOWER follows a multi-faceted approach to ensure quality. Firstly, it sources high-quality products from trusted A-list brands that have a wide presence, and a wide service network, and are long-standing in the market. It has tie-ups with Tata Power Solar Systems ltd, Exide Industries ltd, Delta Electronics India Pvt ltd, Microtek International Pvt ltd, and more, to ensure the reliability and durability, engineering and quality of products.
It also conducts rigorous testing and inspection to ensure that the products meet or exceed industry standards and specifications. “The company has a dedicated support team that works round the clock to make sure that clients have a single window to approach us with their grievances. They need not go to these brands for support”, mentions Mayank. “Any kind of breakdown or support needed is addressed by our team of Powermates. We make sure that our team carries out follow-up calls, gets the issue resolved, and educates the customer on the process carried out”, adds Aarti Mittal, Director.
At a high level, MPOWER’s client engagement process includes several stages, starting from the initial contact with the client to the delivery of solar products and services. The team starts by having an initial consultation with the client to understand their specific needs and requirements. This may involve a site visit to assess the feasibility of installing solar products where they also interact with their team of engineers to provide solutions that satisfy practical and commercial aspects leaving executable margins for the company.
Sometimes, the client might not be fully aware of their problem, hence conveying a different requirement. Based on the information gathered during the initial consultation, the company provides the client with a proposal by getting to the grassroots and suggesting a methodology that outlines the solar products and services that it can offer, including the estimated costs and timelines.
Rather than focusing on individual processes, MPOWER takes a holistic approach to the project, aiming to secure business from the project as a whole rather than just one requirement. It strives to establish a long-term relationship with clients, particularly in terms of commercial aspects.
Before dispatching the materials, it ensures that the site is prepared. Once it has received the materials, it proceeds with the execution according to the customer's timeline and requirements while conducting product checks. “Our skilled technicians efficiently execute the project once the delivery is completed. We prioritize customer satisfaction and address any issues that arise, ensuring a professional exit. We also offer post-delivery support and respond promptly to customer inquiries and complaints by giving expert advice and guidance to clients in terms of various solutions for different kinds of power needs. Through this, we understand if there are other prospective products that we can propose to the customer”, adds Aarti Mittal, Director.
