Rensource has developed a membership and subscription-based solar power system. Once the user has shared their contact details, an engineer conducts a site study to determine the installation capacity and share the subscription details. Once the distributed power supply is installed, the user pays regular monthly membership charges, based on which a membership score is built that entitles the user to receive complimentary financial products and discounts. Additionally, since the system also houses a battery unit, the user can have access to unrestricted power even during blackouts or brownouts from the Utility service provider.
