Zunroofs also claims that it has the highest number of rooftop installations in ten of the largest cities in North India and was on track to having the highest number of installations across India by September this year. After launching its solar rooftop app, the process of getting a rooftop system has been significantly shortened from the three-four months it would take earlier.
