Solar Installation in Katra
Katra — whose name derives from the Persian word for "market" — is a historic trading town in Shahjahanpur district with a population of around 20,000. Located between Shahjahanpur city and Tilhar, Katra retains a strong commercial identity with an active mandi and cluster of shops serving surrounding agricultural villages. The town centre features pucca construction with flat RCC roofs, while the broader tehsil is predominantly rural with mixed housing and spacious plots.
Katra's dual character — commercial town centre and agricultural surroundings — creates demand for both rooftop solar (1-3kW residential, 5-10kW commercial) and solar water pumps for farming. MVVNL is the DISCOM, and BL Solar Solutions coordinates all net metering applications. The town's flat rooftops and excellent 5.4-hour daily peak sunlight ensure consistent generation. Our Jalalabad headquarters is roughly 30 km away, and we schedule regular site visits to Katra and neighbouring areas.
We installed a 7kW system for a shop-cum-residence at Katra Mandi, bringing the owner's combined commercial and domestic MVVNL bill down from Rs 7,500 to under Rs 1,200 per month.

Solar for Katra's Market & Trading Community
The name Katra itself means "market" in Persian — reflecting the town's historical importance as a trading hub. Today, Katra's market area and local businesses can significantly benefit from rooftop solar installations to reduce their commercial electricity costs.
BL Solar Solutions offers customised commercial solar solutions for shops and small businesses in Katra. A 5kW system for a shop or godown can save Rs 3,000-5,000 monthly, making it one of the smartest investments for Katra's trading community.
MVVNL Net Metering in Katra
Katra falls under MVVNL for electricity distribution. Net metering allows residents and businesses to send surplus solar power back to the grid and offset their bills. BL Solar Solutions coordinates all MVVNL paperwork for Katra installations.
With electricity rates reaching Rs 6-7 per unit in higher consumption slabs, even a 3kW solar system makes a significant dent in monthly bills. Combined with PM Surya Ghar subsidy, the after-subsidy cost of Rs 72,000 makes solar accessible to most Katra households.
