Society’s systemic structures were not built yesterday. It took innumerable hours of strategic policymaking, leadership, and, most importantly, patience to grow civilization to the modern phase we are in. Looking back every new invention taught us one thing for sure: that innovation is absolute and should be encouraged. It is innovation that gave us better healthcare standards, seamless telecommunication, efficient transportation systems, crops that could feed a nation, etc. Living today, climate change has been making quite the headlines, as we need sustainable societies with great quality of air and life. Today, the editorial collaborates with Nikunj Mangukiya, who is at the forefront of shaping the sustainable energy sector with Greeneable Solar.
Nikunj says that in order to become net zero, we have to reevaluate how we utilize energy. As EVs are touching record-breaking figures in India, Nikunj is highly optimistic about transitioning built spaces to adopt cleaner and greener solar panels for energy use. The entrepreneur shares with us that the Indian residential solar segment is projected to grow at a 23.4% CAGR through 2031. While building Greeneable Solar, Nikunj faced several skeptical reactions from the market. He reflects on the early days, when he brainstormed with the core team in a tiny box-like office about how to provide fact-based information to customers about net metering. In his entrepreneurial career, Nikunj has always inclined towards building trust among his customers. And that is the reason Greeneable Solar scaled rapidly and served 5,100+ customers to this day. Such phenomenal growth has been the result of word-of-mouth referrals without any flashy marketing campaigns.
Greeneable Solar has structured their business model through effective standardized kits and processes. This has allowed them to maintain quality while operating simultaneously across the city of Surat, Gujarat. What sets the company apart is that they are both wholesalers and installers. They have systems in place to ensure that there are no material shortages. Nikunj has strategized the company’s digital platforms, which are helping customers track their energy generation and savings through apps. This is a clear indication that Greeneable Solar is not only providing top-tier service but also leading in after-sales services.
Moving forward, Nikunj Mangukiya and Jignesh Bhuva are expanding from solar panels to hybrid ecosystems, battery storage, and EV integration. This will allow Greeneable Solar’s customers to use solar power 24/7 through highly efficient lithium-ion batteries and also evolve their homes into charging stations for EVs.
Greeneable Solar is focusing on “Solar for All,” which is making solar-powered homes accessible even for lower-income segments through innovative financing and community solar projects. That is the sign of true leadership. Greeneable Solar operates as a comprehensive EPC (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction) provider, offering both hardware and technical services.
The company specializes in on-grid, off-grid, and hybrid solar power plants, with capacities ranging from small 2 kW residential units to larger 50 MW industrial projects. Their service package includes solar panel cleaning, inverter repairing, and annual maintenance contracts (AMC) to ensure long-term efficiency. Nikunj is highly appreciating the PM Surya Ghar Yojana, with Gujarat as India’s leader in solar rooftops, contributing 40% of the national capacity. The entrepreneur shares his thoughts on “Solar-as-a-Service” (subscription models), virtual net metering & community solar, the “Solar + EV” bundle, and gamified energy apps as some innovative strategies to gain more market in this competitive sector.
Nikunj Mangukiya: “In the solar business, we don’t just install panels; we build relationships that must last 25 years. Never trade your long-term credibility for a short-term profit.”
