After 15 Hours of Daily Powercuts, a Haryana Farmer Saves ₹60,000 a Year with Solar
Haryana
For a farmer in Haryana, 15 hours of daily power cuts wasn't an inconvenience — it was a threat to the crop. Irrigation pumps need power on schedule. After years of fighting the grid, he installed Su-Kam solar on his farm.
The result: roughly ₹60,000 saved every year in electricity costs, and water when the field needed it rather than when the grid allowed it. Solar turned an unpredictable expense into a fixed, sunlit asset.
Agricultural solar adoption like this was driven by hard economics, not subsidy posters — the same logic India's later PM-KUSUM scheme would scale nationally. Su-Kam was serving that demand on the ground years earlier.
It fit Kunwer Sachdev's thesis exactly: where the grid fails the people who feed the country, solar steps in.
