  • DEEMED GENERATION LOSS:
  • Any generation loss suffered by the Customer under the conditions outlined below shall not be covered under the savings guarantee. The Deemed Generation Loss shall be calculated using the following formula:

Deemed Generation Loss = lost area under power curve * time curve adjusted for the weather conditions at the time of the Generation Loss.

  • Conditions Constituting Deemed Generation Loss: The following events shall be considered as Deemed Generation Loss and shall not be included under any performance or savings guarantee:
  1. Grid Downtime & Customer Actions: System outages caused by grid failures, discom disconnections, grid fluctuations beyond the inverter’s nominal range or the system being switched off by the Customer .
  • External Obstructions & Shadowing: Changes in site surroundings or new constructions (e.g., buildings, houses, roads, towers, trees, etc.) within or around the site that cause shadowing and impact generation.
  • Soiling Loss Beyond Threshold: Dust accumulation or soiling losses exceeding 5% (five percent) due to nearby constructions (e.g., buildings, houses, roads, towers, trees, etc.)  or environmental changes.
  • Communication Disruptions: Any disruption in inverter data connectivity caused by non availability of Wi-Fi Signal, change of Wi-Fi password disrupting the connection, internet issues and downtime, external communication jammers, blockers, or local network issues beyond SolarSquare’s control.
  • Missed Cleaning Cycles: Failure to complete scheduled cleaning cycles due to the      Customer’s unavailability, despite SolarSquare reaching out via registered communication channels, resulting in reduced system efficiency.  
  • Sabotage & Unauthorized Damage: Any tampering, vandalism, or self or third party damage to system components     .
  • Force Majeure Events: Any unforeseen circumstances beyond SolarSquare’s reasonable control, including but not limited to natural disasters, government actions, labour strikes, riots, or extreme weather conditions beyond the design assumptions for the solar system and its components.
  • SolarSquare shall not be held liable for any generation loss resulting from the above conditions. Any such loss shall not be considered under performance guarantees or included in any compensation claims by the Customer.
  • The natural calamity insurance provided under this Plan covers physical damage to the Solar Plant only and does not cover any loss of generation. Any generation loss arising from insured events shall still be treated as Deemed Generation Loss for the purpose of this Agreement.
  • DEEMED GENERATION:
  • Deemed Generation refers to the weather-adjusted energy output that the installed Solar Plant would have been capable of generating under normal operating conditions but was unable to generate due to the conditions outlined in Clause 6 (Deemed Generation Loss) of this Agreement.
  • Deemed Generation shall be calculated using the following formula:

Deemed Generation = Generation Recorded at the Inverter + Deemed Generation Loss

  • The generation deficit for a given period shall be determined as follows:

Generation Deficit = Guaranteed Generation for the Period (Year-1 or Year-2 to Year-5) – Deemed Generation.

  • Deemed Generation shall be computed by adjusting the Generation Loss as defined in Clause 6 (Deemed Generation Loss) of this Agreement. Any generation shortfall attributable to Deemed Generation Loss shall not be considered for compensation under performance guarantees or for the purpose of buy-back eligibility or anu other evaluation under this Agreement.
  • The Customer acknowledges that Deemed Generation accounts for uncontrollable external factors affecting system performance. Accordingly, SolarSquare shall not be liable for any compensation, penalties, or claims arising from Deemed Generation calculations, nor shall such losses be included in the savings guarantee or in determining the Customer’s entitlement to buy-back benefits or any other benefit under this Agremeent.
  • WARRANTY AND WARRANTY CONDITIONS:
  • SolarSquare shall provide a warranty for the components of the solar power plant as per the terms outlined in this Agreement. For clarity, the natural calamity insurance provided under the Plan operates independently of the OEM warranties and does not expand, replace, or modify the scope of warranty coverage.
  • The warranty coverage for individual components, including solar modules, inverters, and structural components, shall be subject to the standard terms and conditions prescribed by their respective manufacturers, as detailed in their official warranty manuals.
  • The warranty shall be void under the following circumstances:
  1. Misuse, Tampering, or Unauthorized Repairs: Any damage resulting from misuse, tampering, abuse, neglect, accident, or repairs/modifications carried out by anyone other than an authorized SolarSquare’s representative.
  • External and Unforeseen Events: Damage caused due to Force Majeure events, including but not limited to natural disasters (floods, lightning, fires, earthquakes), vandalism, or human/ animal  intervention beyond SolarSquare’s reasonable control.
  • Environmental Exposure: Damage caused due to prolonged exposure to saltwater, water with TDS above 600, chemicals, excessive dust, or other corrosive elements not anticipated at the time of installation.
  • OEM Rejection of the Warranty Claim: In the event SolarSquare replaces or repairs any equipment, part or component of the Solar Plant in good faith based on an assumed or initially accepted OEM warranty, and such warranty claim is subsequently rejected by the OEM due to any act, omission, misuse, negligence, failure to comply with operating instructions, or breach of maintenance obligations by the Customer (including but not limited to tampering, vandalism by animals, unauthorised repairs, physical damage, or non-compliance with recommended upkeep), the Customer shall be solely liable to reimburse SolarSquare, on demand, for all costs and expenses incurred in connection with such replacement or repair, including without limitation the cost of materials, components, labour, logistics, site visits, transportation, testing, inspection and administrative processing costs. The Customer shall pay such reimbursable amount within 7 (seven) days of SolarSquare issuing a written demand / invoice for the same. In the event the Customer fails to make such payment within such timeline, SolarSquare shall be entitled to (a) withhold or suspend all services under this Agreement (including any guaranteed generation obligations) until such payment is made in full; and (b) exclude the period of such non-payment from generation guarantee calculations, and the Customer shall not be entitled to claim any generation guarantee, compensation, penalties or deductions for such period of suspension. For clarity, the overall term / tenure of this Agreement shall continue to run on a calendar basis during such suspension period; however, no services and no generation guarantee shall be provided by SolarSquare unless and until full payment is made by the Customer. For the avoidance of doubt, such suspension shall not constitute a breach or default on the part of SolarSquare, and all risk, loss and consequences arising during such period (including any generation loss) shall be solely to the Customer’s account.
  • The following factors shall impact the validity of the warranty:
  1. Changes in Surroundings/Environment: Any significant modifications in the plant’s surroundings that may affect performance (e.g., changes in wind exposure, air pollution, or other environmental conditions).

  • In case of a delay in remitting the deficit amount due to reasons beyond SolarSquare’s control, such delay shall not attract any interest.
  • Carry Forward of Extra Generation: If the deemed generation for Period 1 exceeds the guaranteed generation specified in Schedule C (Generation Commitment Units), the additional generation shall be carried forward and included in Period 2 as part of the generation for that period.
  • Second Compensation:
  1. If the deemed generation for Period 2 is less than the guaranteed generation as specified in Schedule C (Generation Commitment Units), then after completion of 60 (sixty) months from the generation start date, SolarSquare shall transfer the deficit amount to the Customer within 21 (twenty-one) working days of the completion of the 5th (fifth) year.
  • In case of a delay in remitting the deficit amount for reasons beyond SolarSquare’s control, no interest shall be applied to the delayed amount.
  • Exclusions from Compensation

SolarSquare shall not be obligated to compensate the Customer for any loss of guaranteed generation under the following circumstances:

  1. Force Majeure Events: In the event of circumstances beyond SolarSquare’s reasonable control, including but not limited to natural disasters (floods, storms, earthquakes, etc.), war, strikes, civil disturbances, government actions, or other similar events that prevent the normal generation of power.
  • External Factors: Any generation loss caused by factors such as changes in site surroundings, shadowing, soiling, communication disruptions, or other external conditions not attributable to SolarSquare.

  1. Under the Plan, SolarSquare hereby grants the Customer a conditional and limited Buy-Back option (“Buy-Back Option”), exercisable strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the criteria, processes and conditions set out in Schedule D (Buy-Back Terms and Condition). The Buy-Back Option shall, at all times, remain subject to the Customer’s full, continuous and punctual compliance with all obligations, undertakings and requirements under this Agreement.
  1. The Buy-Back Option constitutes a contractual mechanism enabling the Customer, subject to satisfaction of the eligibility conditions set forth in Schedule D (Buy-Back Terms and Condition) to require SolarSquare to re-purchase the Plant and to terminate all rights and obligations arising under the Plan. The Buy-Back Option shall not be construed as an assured or automatic entitlement and shall not arise unless each condition stipulated in Schedule D (Buy-Back Terms and Conditions) is fulfilled to SolarSquare’s satisfaction.
  1. The Customer may invoke the Buy-Back Option only if all preconditions, eligibility parameters, generation-performance thresholds and documentary requirements stipulated in Schedule D (Buy-Back Terms and Conditions) are met. SolarSquare shall be entitled to reject any buy-back request that does not strictly satisfy the conditions prescribed in Schedule D (Buy-Back Terms and Conditions), without incurring any liability of any nature.
  1. The Buy-Back Option shall be invoked by the Customer only through (i) a written request submitted via the registered communication channel; or (ii) through the SolarSquare platform in such form or manner as SolarSquare may prescribe. Upon receipt of a buy-back request, SolarSquare shall evaluate eligibility, conduct verification, and perform such inspections and assessments as may be required under Schedule D (Buy-Back Terms and Conditions). The buy-back request shall become effective only upon SolarSquare issuing a written confirmation of acceptance.
  1. Upon SolarSquare’s acceptance of the buy-back request: (a) the Plant shall stand transferred to SolarSquare, and the Customer shall provide unobstructed access for dismantling and removal; (b) all guarantees, performance commitments, compensation mechanisms and service obligations of SolarSquare under this Agreement shall immediately cease, save and except obligations expressly surviving termination; (c) the Customer shall not be entitled to claim any further amounts, benefits, guarantees or services other than the buy-back compensation expressly set out in Schedule D (Buy-Back Terms and Conditions); and (d) such buy-back compensation shall constitute full and final settlement of all claims arising under or in connection with this Agreement.
  1. SolarSquare shall be entitled to deny or decline buy-back where: (a) any Customer breach, omission or non-compliance has occurred; (b) the Plant has been altered, tampered with, damaged or modified by the Customer or a third party; (c) any circumstance listed as a Deemed Generation Loss under Clause 6 (Deemed Generation Loss) of this Agreement that materially affects performance assessment; or (d) any other condition or disqualification specified in Schedule D applies. SolarSquare shall not be liable for any claim, loss or compensation arising from or relating to such rejection.
  1. The Customer acknowledges that the Buy-Back Option is a special contractual feature unique to the GOODZEROTM Pro Plan and agrees that no rights, expectations or entitlements shall arise other than those expressly recorded in this Agreement. No buy-back shall occur except strictly in the manner and on the terms prescribed herein.
  1. SolarSquare shall conduct a detailed on-site diligence and technical verification prior to effecting any buy-back. SolarSquare shall be entitled to such additional time as may reasonably be required to complete its verification process, and no payment or consideration towards buy-back shall become due or payable until such verification has been satisfactorily completed to SolarSquare’s sole satisfaction.
  1. All documents, confirmations, and execution papers pertaining to the buy-back shall be issued or provided by SolarSquare only upon written confirmation of acceptance of the buy-back request under Clause 10.4. The Customer shall not be entitled to demand such documents prior to such confirmation.
  1. The buy-back price or compensation determined by SolarSquare in accordance with Schedule D (Buy-Back Terms and Conditions) shall be final, conclusive, and binding on the Customer, and shall not be subject to dispute, challenge, or negotiation.
  1. Mere subscription or enrolment by a Customer under the Plan or the GOODZERO™ Pro Scheme shall not, by itself, create or confer any right, entitlement, or eligibility to avail the Buy-Back Option. The determination of eligibility, compliance, and qualification for buy-back shall rest solely with SolarSquare, and its decision in this regard shall be final and binding on the Customer.
  1. The Customer shall ensure that the Solar Plant, including all its components, accessories, and installations, is and shall at all times remain free from any mortgage, lien, pledge, charge, hypothecation, security interest, or any other encumbrance, claim, or third-party right whatsoever. The Customer shall, upon SolarSquare’s request, furnish all documents, records, and confirmations evidencing clear and unencumbered ownership and title to the Solar Plant for SolarSquare’s verification prior to the buy-back. In the event any encumbrance, lien, or charge exists on the Solar Plant, the Customer shall, at its sole cost and responsibility, cause the same to be fully discharged, released, or satisfied prior to initiating or proceeding with the buy-back process.
  1. If SolarSquare determines or reasonably suspects that the Customer has furnished any false, misleading, or fraudulent information, documentation, or declaration in connection with the buy-back or this Agreement, SolarSquare shall have the absolute right to (a) terminate this Agreement with immediate effect; (b) reject or cancel the buy-back process, if pending; and (c) invoke and enforce the indemnity provisions under this Agreement without prejudice to any other rights or remedies available in law or equity.
  1. In the event a Buy-Back request has been initiated by the Customer under this Clause, and ownership of the Property or the Solar Plant changes in accordance with Clause 11, as stipulated below,  during the course of verification, inspection, or processing of such request, the Buy-Back Option shall automatically vest in and continue for the benefit of the new owner or transferee of the Property. The new owner shall be deemed to have stepped into the shoes of the original Customer for the limited purpose of completion of the Buy-Back process and shall be bound by all terms, obligations, representations, and conditions applicable under this Agreement and Schedule D (Buy-Back Terms and Conditions). SolarSquare shall not, under any circumstances, be responsible or liable for any loss, dispute, or claim (including financial or contractual claims) between the transferor and transferee arising out of or in connection with such change in ownership during/after the pendency of the Buy-Back process.
  1. In the event any fraud, misrepresentation, or concealment by the Customer is discovered after completion of the buy-back, SolarSquare shall be entitled to (a) recover liquidated damages as at the rate of 18 percent per annum, till the cost of such Buy Back is recovered; (b) invoke indemnification in accordance with Clause 13 (Indemnity); and (c) exercise all other legal rights and remedies available to it, including restitution and recovery of amounts paid under the buy-back. Such rights shall survive the termination or completion of the buy-back and shall remain enforceable notwithstanding any full and final settlement earlier executed.
  1. TRANSFER OF PROPERTY AND ASSIGNMENT OF SOLAR PLANT:
  1. It is understood and agreed between the Parties that the Solar Plant forms an integral and non-detachable part of the Property on which it is installed. Accordingly, upon any transfer of title, ownership, possession, or other change in control of the Property            (whether by way of sale, gift, inheritance, transfer within family, corporate restructuring, mortgage enforcement, or otherwise), the Solar Plant shall automatically vest in and belong to the new owner/transferee of the Property, and the original Customer (i.e., the transferor) hereby irrevocably waives all rights, title, claims and interests in the Solar Plant and under this Agreement immediately upon such transfer.
  1. In the event of such proposed transfer of the Property, the Customer shall mandatorily notify SolarSquare at least 15 (fifteen) days prior to the proposed transfer date, through SolarSquare’s customer care or registered communication channel, and shall simultaneously submit the duly filled and signed Transfer-Assignment Form (Schedule F) together with supporting documents evidencing the transfer of ownership. The Customer shall pay a non-refundable advance of INR 1,500/- (Indian Rupees One Thousand Five Hundred only) towards verification charges. SolarSquare shall, upon receipt of the above, schedule a verification visit.
  1. In the event the Customer fails to notify SolarSquare as above, or fails to submit the required documentation or payment, SolarSquare shall be entitled (a) to suspend any services under this Agreement with immediate effect until compliances are completed; and (b) to disclaim any liability for any loss, damage, defect, malfunction, or disruption to the Solar Plant or any costs or damages claimed by either the transferor or transferee arising from such non-compliance. For the avoidance of doubt, no obligation shall arise on SolarSquare towards the new owner unless and until the verification and documentation process is completed to the satisfaction of SolarSquare. For the avoidance of doubt, any delay in providing such notice shall not result in, or entitle the Customer to, any extension, carry-forward, adjustment, pro-ration, credit, or restoration of the GOODZEROTM Pro Plan period remaining under this Agreement. The GOODZEROTM Pro period shall continue to run strictly on calendar basis notwithstanding such delay.
  1. The Parties further agree that this GOODZEROTM Pro engagement is inherently linked to the Solar Plant and therefore, all services and benefits already availed or accrued under this Agreement by the previous owner shall be deemed to have been availed for and shall enure to the benefit of the new owner without any need for renewal, novation, re-execution or re-validation. There shall be no refresh, reset or recommencement of this Agreement on such transfer under any circumstances.
  1. If SolarSquare approves the transfer of the generation guarantee to the new owner, the new owner shall assume all obligations and undertakings set forth in this Agreement and shall be bound by the same terms for the remainder of the guarantee period. For clarity, no transfer shall take effect unless SolarSquare has issued a written confirmation of such approval.
  1. For clarity, the guarantee shall not be automatically transferred to the new owner/Managing Committee without written confirmation from SolarSquare, as such transfer shall have to be updated accordingly with SolarSquare’s records.
  1. The Generation Guarantee under this Agreement shall remain valid only if the new buyer or owner has not made any modifications in or around the Solar Plant that may affect its performance. SolarSquare shall verify compliance through a re-inspection, and the Guarantee shall be extended only upon confirmation that no such modifications have been made.
  1. The Customer shall remain liable for any obligations and liabilities under this Agreement until the transfer is completed and the new owner assumes the obligations. Post-transfer, SolarSquare will not be held responsible for the performance of the plant should any defects or issues arise that are outside the scope of the generation guarantee.     
  1. For this Clause, the term “Property” shall mean the land, building, residential unit, commercial premises, rooftop, parking lot, structure, immovable property, or any part thereof, owned, leased, possessed, occupied, or otherwise controlled by the Customer, on or in which the Solar Plant is installed pursuant to this Agreement, including all appurtenant rights, easements, access areas and fixtures forming part of such premises.
  1. TERMINATION OF PLAN:
  1. In addition to the termination rights provided elsewhere in this Agreement, if the conditions outlined in Clause 6 (Deemed Generation Loss) persist for a period exceeding 1 (one) month from the date the issue is first identified or noticed by SolarSquare, SolarSquare reserves the right to terminate the generation guarantee plan immediately, without further obligation to the Customer. For clarity, such termination shall not entitle the Customer to claim buy-back, shortfall compensation, or any other benefit under the GOODZEROTM Pro Plan beyond what is expressly provided in this Clause, and all buy-back rights (if not exercised) under this Agreement shall automatically stand terminated.
  1. SolarSquare reserves the right to terminate this Agreement/ generation plan at any time by providing 30 days’ prior written notice to the Customer. Upon such termination, SolarSquare shall refund to the Customer a pro-rata amount, calculated strictly on the basis of the actual performance of the Solar Plant relative to the guaranteed generation, up to the effective date of termination. It is expressly clarified that such termination shall result in the immediate cessation of all GoodZero Pro entitlements, including Buy-Back, of the Customer, and the Customer shall thereafter be ineligible for any buy-back or any other benefit, except for the pro-rata refund expressly set out herein. Based on the TMY (Typical Meteorological Year) data, SolarSquare shall allocate the annual performance target into corresponding monthly and daily targets. Accordingly, performance shall be assessed on a pro-rata basis, and settlement shall be carried out in line with the proportionate target up to the relevant date, as reflected in the C-App.
  1. Either party may initiate mutual termination of the generation guarantee plan by providing a 30 (thirty) days written notice to the other party. In the case of mutual termination, the terms for compensation, refund, and obligations of both parties shall be negotiated and mutually agreed upon.
  1. Upon termination of the generation guarantee plan, regardless of the reason:
  1. All obligations and undertakings of SolarSquare under this Agreement shall cease, except for any obligations that expressly survive termination (such as warranty or indemnity obligations).
  • The Customer shall return any materials, equipment, or documentation provided by SolarSquare and discontinue the use of any services related to the guarantee.
    Any outstanding payments due from the Customer, including for services rendered prior to the termination, shall remain payable.
  • The Customer shall no longer be entitled to any further guarantees, compensation, or claims under the terminated plan including any claim for buyback.
  1. In the event of the Customer’s failure to fulfill their obligations under this Agreement, SolarSquare reserves the right to terminate the generation guarantee plan immediately, and any outstanding payments or charges will become due for settlement and all buyback rights shall be automatically extinguished.
  1. SolarSquare may, at its sole discretion and without assigning any reason, terminate the Generation Guarantee Plan for convenience by providing 30 (thirty) days prior written notice to the Customer, whereupon SolarSquare shall refund to the Customer a pro-rata amount for the unexpired portion of the guarantee period based on actual plant performance up to the effective date of termination, and the Customer shall not be entitled to any additional compensation, liquidated damages, loss of benefit, expectation damages or any other claims whatsoever, including any claim for buyback and all obligations of SolarSquare under the Generation Guarantee Plan (other than those expressly surviving termination) shall stand extinguished from the effective date of such termination.
  1. INDEMNITY
  1. The Customer agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless SolarSquare, its officers, directors, employees, agents, and affiliates (“Indemnified Parties“) from and against any and all claims, losses, liabilities, damages, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), and costs arising out of or in connection with:
