Indian solar EPC company AB Energia has unveiled Arkannect, a distributed solar platform designed to simplify and accelerate rooftop solar adoption among residential consumers and micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs).
The company has appointed Sagar Saxena as chief executive officer of Arkannect. He will lead the platform’s growth, market expansion, and customer adoption, starting with the high-growth markets of Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Kerala, and Uttar Pradesh.
AB Energia said that out of the 22 GW of rooftop solar installed across India, nearly 60% is driven by the Industrial and Commercial (B2B) sectors. However, the next wave of growth is emerging from the MSME and residential segments, which are poised for an accelerated 28% CAGR as decentralized solar becomes the new standard for Indian energy consumers.
Arkannect leverages AB Energia’s fully integrated in-house EPC capabilities to eliminate middleman markups and hidden costs. By managing everything from system design and financing to installation and lifetime maintenance, the platform is intended to provide a “single-window” experience for users in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities. A dedicated mobile application offers customers real-time visibility into installation progress and ongoing system performance.
With the launch of this platform, AB Energia Solutions is targeting a revenue of INR 700–1,000 crore over the next three years, as it scales its footprint across the country.
