Diesel vs solar. Know your real cost.
Find out what your diesel generator really costs per unit, and how much more you pay than the grid every year.
That is - your grid tariff.

How to cut it, with zero investment.
Solar with battery storage carries critical loads through power cuts, so the generator runs far less. At NHIT's Daroda toll plaza, an OORZI solar and 525 kWh battery mini grid cut the blended energy cost by about half. See battery storage as a service.
Estimate only. Units per litre and diesel price are your inputs; check them against your generator log. Excludes generator maintenance and wear.
Diesel is your most expensive power.
A generator turns each litre into only a few units of electricity. This tool shows the true cost per unit, how much more you pay than the grid, and what that adds up to in a year.
- Enter litres a month and your diesel price.
- Enter units per litre from your generator log.
- See the gap against your grid tariff.
Then ask us how solar with battery storage can carry your site through power cuts.
Good to know.
How many units does a litre of diesel produce?
It depends on the generator and how heavily it is loaded. Your generator log is the best source; enter your own figure in the tool.
Can solar replace a diesel generator?
Solar with battery storage can carry critical loads through many power cuts and sharply cut generator hours. Our engineers size it to your outage pattern.
Is there any investment?
No. OORZI funds, owns and runs the solar and battery system, and you pay a tariff or a monthly fee.
