India's #1 Trusted Climate Tech Solar Startup|PowerMitra

About Us

Powermitra's solar journey started in 2015 with one of the leading EPC installers in Spain sought our founder Vikesh Sharma's help in setting up its Indian operations. The hyper competitive market and cost viability made that company abandon its India plans. However, our founder didn't give up and in 2017 Powermitra was born with a sole objective to democratize Solar and make it more affordable and accessible to the masses using technology.

In last 5 years We have made a PAN India network of high quality installers (NABCEP, ISO 9001:2015, MNRE certified) and business associates. We have facilitated 70+ industry owners to go solar through our partners to save money while saving environment across West and North India. Totalling to 4.5MW size projects executed through our verified partners.

We offer multitude of services be it Solar Finance, Plant Design, Installation & Commissioning, Operations & Maintenance, Plant CLeaning etc for power consumers, solar installers(EPC) and solar financers covering the length and breadth of solar industry.

Our SaaS platform keeps everything organized and transparent by digitizing the value chain end to end. We don't stop here, once the quotation is accepted and the agreement is signed, we track the project execution till plant starts generating electricity. Even after that we stay with you for next twenty five years through value added services. JUST LIKE A TRUE FRIEND.
