About Us


Why Solar Mango?

Solar Mango is a division of Energy Alternatives India (EAI), India’s largest renewable energy and clean technology research and consulting firm.

We receive many enquiries from intensive energy consumers interested in solar power, and realised that they face two obstacles when considering rooftop solar PV solutions

  • A lack of authoritative, practical inputs and insights on implementing and profiting from captive rooftop solar power
  • Difficulty in finding experienced vendors who can provide robust solutions that best serve their requirements

Solar Mango was created to address both concerns.

The Solar Mango website is dedicated to providing energy consumers with relevant, up-to-date, and practical information and insights into using rooftop solar power in India.

The Solar Mango division within EAI works to understand each consumer’s requirements and provide them with a solution in association with our technical partners that maximises their benefits from the rooftop solar system.
