How Solar Lamp Manufacturing Business Works?

To start your business, you will need the initial working capital of Rs. 1.50 lakh for the first month and fixed capital of Rs. 3.50 lakh is required to buy machinery and equipment.
Manufacturing
To manufacture solar lamps, you need raw material which includes Solar PV module, battery, LED, switch, resistors, transistors, capacitors, modern plastic cabinet, and other mechanical components. As per the MSME Development Institute report, manufacturing a solar lamp would cost you around Rs. 1700.
Earning
The market value of a solar lamp is Rs. 2200. If you manufacture 1000 solar lamps per month, you will end up manufacturing 12000 lamps per year, which would cost you around Rs. 2 crores 4 lakh. And if you add depreciation and interest cost of Rs. 39 lakh 66 thousand, the total cost would become Rs. 2 crores 43 lakh.
By selling 12000 solar lamps at Rs 2200 per lamp, you will earn Rs. 2 crores 64 lakh that would result in 20 lakh 33 thousand savings per year.
The government announced to distribute 7 million solar lamps in 2016. So you don’t have to worry about buyers for your lamps.
