Oorja finances, installs, operates and maintains decentralised solar assets at/near the farm and through its three services reduces energy costs, increases productivity and income and mitigates CO2e emissions, building climate resilience for farmers. Our mission is empower 1 million farmers globally by 2030 with the agricultural services they need to sustainably increase their income and quality of life.

ऊर्जा की पहली रूफटॉप सोलर ग्राहक की प्रतिक्रिया: "ऊर्जा के साथ हमारे छत पर सोलर लगवाने का पूरा प्रक्रिया बिल्कुल आसान था और हमें किसी परेशानी का सामना नहीं करना पड़ा। ऊर्जा की टीम ने प्रधान मंत्री सूर्य घर मुफ्त बिजली योजना के अंतर्गत रजिस्ट्रेशन से लेकर सोलर पैनल की इंस्टॉलेशन तक सबकुछ संभाल लिया। ऊर्जा की टीम प्रोफेशनल, तेज़ और स्पष्ट थी, उन्होंने हर कदम पर हमें सहज महसूस कराया। छत पर सोलर लगवाने के बाद हमारे बिजली के बिल में काफी कमी आई है। अब हम न केवल पैसे बचा रहे हैं, बल्कि एक साफ-सुथरे और हरे-भरे भविष्य में भी योगदान दे रहे हैं। ऊर्जा की विशेषज्ञता और क्लीन एनर्जी को सुलभ बनाने की प्रतिबद्धता ने हमारे लिए बड़ा बदलाव किया है।" ~ हरीश कुमार पांडेय (बाराबंकी, उत्तर प्रदेश) अधिक जानकारी या अपने छत पे सोलर लगवाने के लिए संपर्क करें: +91 97764 63410
