In a bid to motivate people to follow solar energy, Hartek Solar Pvt Ltd was established in 2017 by Simarpreet Singh. The Chandigarh-based firm strives to offer small-scale solar solutions and is aiming to promote clean energy through its customised residential rooftop solar kits.

Simarpreet and his vibrant team of 30 have already installed more than 300 solar kits across residences in the states of Punjab, Haryana, Chandigarh, Gujarat, Rajasthan, Andhra Pradesh, and Madhya Pradesh over the last 2 years.

If harnessed effectively as an alternative to other fossil fuels, it can help save trees and reduce carbon footprint as well. This was the idea behind establishing Hartek Solar. We wanted to provide the best way for every single individual to use solar energy,” Simarpreet Singh tells in an exclusive interview with SocialStory.

At a time when citizens are fighting climate change and pollution, Simarpreet is promoting clean energy through their product. He was also featured in the coveted Forbes 30 Under 30 Asia list of achievers for his innovative small-scale solar solutions. “We are working towards scaling our efforts to promote clean energy in every nook and corner of India.
