UPDATE
Effective 1 April 2026, Maharashtra requires energy storage with solar installations above 100 kW: 50% of solar capacity, for two hours. Further states are expected to follow.
HOW IT WORKS
From twelve bills to a signed proposal.
Sims follows the same path an engineer would. It just walks it in minutes, and it never skips the arithmetic.
- 1
Create a project
One project per site or consumer. Bills, tariff choices, assumptions and every analysis run are saved to it as you go.
- 2
Feed it the bills
Twelve months of them, or interval meter data where available. Sims reads the rest off the paperwork.
- 3
Point at the site
A location and the roof or land you can actually use. That is enough to model a year of generation.
- 4
Confirm the tariff
The DISCOM’s time-of-day zones, seasonal rates and demand charges come from the built-in library, current with every revision.
- 5
Read the recommendation
Every solar × battery combination is simulated against the customer’s year; the build with the fastest return rises to the top.
EPCs & installers
A proposal prepared in the first meeting, issued under your brand.
Energy consultants
Any quotation re-priced on the customer’s own data, before it is accepted.
C&I consumers
The rooftop case checked independently before signing anything.
EVERY STUDY RESTS ON THE SAME THREE INPUTS
The site
Location and usable area; satellite irradiance fills in everything else.
Existing generation
Where solar is already installed, its output sizes storage against reality.
INSIDE THE SIMULATOR
Three ways to simulate. One search for the best.
Every mode runs the customer's actual year hour by hour: dispatch, efficiency, depth-of-discharge and all. They differ only in what they optimise.
The baseline
Solar only
Sizes PV for maximum self-consumption with minimal wastage. This is the headline savings figure, before storage enters the picture.
- Self-consumption limit
- Wasted-solar warning
The full case
Solar + BESS
Sizes solar and storage jointly against time-of-day zones: charging on midday surplus, discharging into the evening peak.
- ToD arbitrage
- Peak shifting
- Efficiency losses modelled
For demand-heavy bills
BESS peak-shaving
Sizes a battery that flattens demand peaks, standalone or alongside solar already on the roof.
- Demand charges
- Retrofit-friendly

DESIGNED IN INDIA, NOT ADAPTED TO IT
It knows what your DISCOM actually does.
Global sizing tools require Indian tariffs to be built by hand. Ingro Sims is designed around India’s regulatory structure, DISCOM by DISCOM, and maintained as it changes.

Your DISCOM is built in
Time-of-day zones, seasonal rates and demand charges for DISCOMs across India, from MSEDCL to BESCOM. Sims identifies the DISCOM from the customer’s bill and applies its rules; nothing is rebuilt by hand.
Current with every revision
Tariff orders, ToD revisions and storage mandates are encoded as they take effect, so a study priced today reflects the rules in force today.
Numbers that withstand review
Savings are computed the way the bill is charged, slab by slab and season by season. Every assumption is carried into the workbook, where it stands up to independent scrutiny.

Sized to the objective
Select the customer’s objective and the recommended configuration follows it. The ranking always serves the goal, not a single metric.
The complete financial case
Capital cost, annual savings, payback and lifetime return, in rupees, computed against the customer’s actual bill. Ownership and PPA structures, both.
Today vs Solar vs Solar + Battery
A single side-by-side comparison of the current bill, solar, and solar with storage. The summary a decision is made on.
A report issued under your brand
A branded feasibility report for the customer, and a working financial model their finance team can verify line by line.
Results in minutes — a proposal in the first meeting, not the following week.
BENCHMARK ANYTHING
