Post tie-up with IDBI Bank, the consumer will have to make a nominal initial down payment and the rest will be broken up into EMIs enabling consumers to buy solar power solutions as they do other domestic gadgets.

Electricity prices are rising and eat away a significant share of the household budget. Given the fact that big electricity consuming appliances like ACs have become an integral part of everyday lives, installing a solar power system presents an ideal solution by reducing the expenditure on electricity dramatically allowing consumers to save money for other personal use.

In addition, since solar energy is a renewable and environment-friendly source of energy, it also makes good sense to include it as part of the sustainability endeavor.

Speaking on the tie-up, Mr. S. G Nadkarni, Executive Director, IDBI Bank, said, "We are extremely happy to tie-up with Luminous. We have developed simple and hassle-free policies for the customer seeking solar solutions with a nominal processing fee. With this partnership, we aim to empower consumers by giving them the financial support to make solar power as a viable alternative to conventional power sources."
