How Sugatu Simplifies Solar Procurement for Contractors

The Procurement Challenge in Solar EPC

Solar contractors face mounting pressure to deliver projects faster amid India's aggressive 500 GW renewable target by 2030. Coordinating multiple vendors for balance-of-system (BoS) components like mounting structures, fasteners, earthing kits, and lightning protection often leads to delays, quality mismatches, and cost overruns. Sugatu addresses this by acting as a single-source partner, handling engineering design through to factory delivery.

Engineering Excellence from Day One

Sugatu's in-house engineering team customizes ground-mounted structures and BoS elements to site-specific conditions—wind speeds, soil types, and module layouts. Using advanced software for structural analysis, they deliver pre-approved drawings compliant with IS 875 and IEC standards, slashing approval cycles. Contractors avoid redesign risks, getting optimized steel usage that cuts material costs by up to 10-15% without compromising 25-year durability.

Manufacturing Precision at Scale

From their Mumbai facility, Sugatu manufactures high-galvanized (80-120 microns) structures, pre-punched rails, and accessories using automated lines for consistency. This factory-controlled process ensures zero defects, with rigorous quality checks meeting MNRE guidelines. Recent 60 MW LOI success proves their capacity for utility-scale volumes, including 15 MW exports.

Supply Chain Mastery for On-Time Delivery

Sugatu manages the entire logistics chain—raw material sourcing, production scheduling, and pan-India trucking—to guarantee just-in-time arrivals. No more chasing small suppliers for Class C/D items; everything ships as a matched kit. This reduces site inventory by 30%, minimizes rework, and keeps projects on budget.

Real Wins for Solar Contractors

Faster Execution: Single-point coordination cuts lead times from 12-16 weeks to 8-10.  

Cost Predictability: Fixed pricing with volume discounts.  

Risk Reduction: Full traceability and warranties up to 10 years.
