About Kind Energy

What is Kind Energy?

Kind Energy is India’s AI-powered clean energy company, helping commercial and industrial (C&I) businesses adopt solar and battery energy storage (BESS). We deploy and operate distributed solar + storage projects, then integrate them into a Virtual Power Plant (VPP) that optimises energy usage, reduces costs, and enables future energy trading through the India Energy Stack.

How is Kind Energy different from other solar companies in India?

Most solar companies only install projects. Kind Energy goes further by adding battery storage, AI-driven optimisation, and enabling projects for the future of energy trading. This means industries get reliable, affordable, and future-ready clean power.

What is Kind Energy’s vision?

Our vision is to build India’s AI-powered clean energy operating system, making renewable energy reliable, affordable, and intelligent for every industry.

Where does Kind Energy operate?

We deliver rooftop solar, ground-mounted solar, and energy storage projects across India, serving C&I clients in sectors like manufacturing, logistics, data centers, and industrial clusters.

How can investors be part of Kind Energy’s growth?

Investors can participate through our fundraising rounds, gaining exposure to the fast-growing distributed solar + storage market, while also backing our AI-driven orchestration and energy trading platform.

Solutions & Services

What services does Kind Energy provide?

We provide full-stack energy solutions for industries– solar rooftop and ground-mounted systems, modular battery energy storage, end-to-end EPC execution, asset management, and flexible financing models like PPA, RESCO, and leasing

Do you provide end-to-end EPC services?

Yes. We handle the entire lifecycle– land leasing, design engineering, procurement, installation, grid approvals, commissioning, and operations & maintenance. Businesses get a single accountable partner from start to finish.

How does the solar + battery (BESS) model work for industries?

Solar panels generate clean electricity during the day, while battery systems store excess power. Stored energy is then used during peak hours or outages, reducing grid bills and providing backup power for reliable operations.

Can MSMEs and SMEs adopt solar + storage solutions?

Yes. With zero-CAPEX leasing, Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs), and EMI-based financing, even small and medium enterprises can access reliable solar + storage solutions without upfront investments.

How long does it take to install a solar + storage project?

Most projects are completed in 3–6 months, depending on capacity, site approvals, and scale.

Financial Models & Benefits

Do industries need upfront investment to adopt solar + storage?

No. With leasing, RESCO, and PPA models, industries can adopt clean energy with zero upfront cost. Businesses simply pay per unit of power consumed or lease the infrastructure at a monthly fee.

What is a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA)?

A PPA is a long-term contract where Kind Energy builds, owns, and operates the solar + storage plant. Clients pay only for the electricity they consume at a lower tariff than the grid—saving money without capex.

What is Energy-as-a-Service (EaaS)?

EaaS allows industries to “subscribe” to clean energy rather than own the asset. Kind Energy manages the project, while clients benefit from lower costs, backup power, and zero maintenance responsibilities.

What financing models does Kind Energy offer?

We offer captive ownership (you own the asset), group-captive models (shared ownership), RESCO/PPA (pay-per-unit contracts), and leasing for solar + BESS (flexible, modular capacity).

How much can industries save with Kind Energy?

C&I clients save more than 40% on power bills from day one, with higher long-term savings from peak load management and battery optimisation.

Do you help clients get financing?

Yes. We work with NBFCs, banks, and green financiers to provide structured debt, leasing options, or EMI-based financing.

Support & Partnerships

What O&M support does Kind Energy provide?

We offer 25-year asset management with predictive maintenance, real-time monitoring, and performance optimisation to ensure long-term reliability.

How does Kind Energy ensure transparency?

We procure directly from Tier-1 OEMs, eliminate middlemen, and share clear contracts and pricing, ensuring cost savings and trust.

How can my business partner with Kind Energy?

You can engage as a client, OEM partner, financier, or developer. We are open to joint ventures, leasing partnerships, and co-development opportunities.

What is the process after signing a contract?

Step 1: Site survey → Step 2: Design & approvals → Step 3: Signing PPA → Step 4: Procurement & Installation → Step 5: Commissioning → Step 6: O&M and optimisation. ving C&I clients in sectors like manufacturing, logistics, data centers, and industrial clusters.

How can industries get started with Kind Energy?

Simply reach out via our contact form or email. Our consultants will design a customised proposal with the best financing model. Our team responds within 24 hours.

Policy & Market

What is Virtual Net Metering (VNM)?

VNM allows multiple consumers to share the output of a single solar project across different locations but within the same state, optimising costs and enabling shared benefits.

What is an Energy Storage Obligation (ESO)?

ESO is a government mandate requiring power producers and users to integrate storage into their energy mix, accelerating adoption of BESS in India.

What is Open Access policy in solar?

Open Access lets industries buy renewable energy directly from developers, bypassing discoms, at cheaper tariffs. This makes solar + storage even more cost-effective.

What is the India Energy Stack?

The India Energy Stack is a government-led framework of APIs that will make energy programmable, tradable, and interoperable, similar to how UPI transformed payments. Kind Energy is built to integrate with it.

What policies support renewable adoption in India?

Policies like Renewable Purchase Obligations (RPOs), ESO, VNM, open access reforms, and green financing schemes all push industries toward clean energy adoption.

How big is India’s clean energy market?

India’s C&I sector spends over $50B annually on electricity, with less than 10% from renewables and only 0.2% of solar paired with storage, leaving massive headroom for growth.

Why is now the right time to adopt solar + storage?

Rising tariffs on conventional energy, falling battery costs, supportive policies (ESO, VNM, open access), and sustainability mandates make this the most strategic time for industries to switch.

Technology & Innovation

What is a Virtual Power Plant (VPP)?

A Virtual Power Plant connects multiple solar and battery projects into one intelligent system. Kind Energy uses AI to aggregate and optimise these assets, reducing downtime, balancing demand, and enabling future peer-to-peer energy trading.

What role does AI play in Kind Energy’s platform?

AI processes real-time data from SCADA, inverters, and batteries to forecast demand, optimise dispatch, and improve plant performance. This ensures industries get maximum savings, reliability, and asset life.

What is programmable energy?

software. It turns every battery and inverter into a dynamic grid participant, unlocking new revenue opportunities.

What is DERMS and why does it matter?

DERMS (Distributed Energy Resource Management System) is a platform that coordinates multiple distributed assets– solar, batteries, and meters so they can support grid stability and participate in energy markets.
