Why Kannur
Kannur — Solar for Homes, Businesses & Handloom Units
Kannur (Cannanore) is North Kerala's industrial hub, famous for its handloom industry and growing urban economy. Rising electricity costs for handloom units, households, and commercial establishments make solar an increasingly smart investment. FGE Solar provides complete solar solutions across Kannur district.
The district's 5.0 peak sun hours daily ensures solid solar generation year-round. For handloom units and businesses, solar is especially cost-effective as consumption aligns naturally with peak daytime generation hours.
KSEB net metering lets you export surplus electricity back to the grid, earning credits against future bills. FGE Solar manages the full process — site assessment, system design, installation, KSEB documentation, and PM Surya Ghar subsidy filing.

FAQs
Kannur Solar — Common Questions
Daytime loom loads are a strong solar fit. LT commercial and industrial plants may not use the same domestic net-metering rules as homes — confirm gross metering, net billing or captive options with KSEB before you size a system. Many units still see about 3–5 year payback when consumption and roof space align. FGE Solar designs commercial systems for industrial loads.
All of Kannur district including the city, Thalassery, Iritty, Thaliparamba, Payyannur, Mattannur, Mananthavady border, and all taluks. We cover both urban and rural locations across the full district. If you're unsure whether we cover your area, contact us — we almost certainly do.
The process matches Kerala's 2025 rules — KSEB feasibility and registration come before installation, then testing, agreement and bi-directional meter commissioning. Exported units offset later imports under KSERC banking rules; they are not a separate monthly cash credit. FGE Solar handles the KSEB paperwork on your behalf.
