Artha Energy bags rooftop solar expansion order from auto component maker

The EPC installer has started the expansion of an auto component manufacturer’s 100.4 KW rooftop solar plant to 165 kW.

EPC installer Artha Energy Resources has announced it has started expansion work on a rooftop solar project for an auto component manufacturer based in Aurangabad, Maharashtra. The current capacity of the rooftop solar power plant stands at 100.4 KW, which has been active since February 2019, while 64.5KW will now be added under the expansion project.

The expansion work for the solar rooftop project is expected to be completed by the end of November this year.

As part of the expansion work, the installer will use Longi Solar’s 430Wp half-cut mono PERC modules with Sungrow 50KW inverter.

Currently, at 100.4KW the plant generates around 1.5 lakh units annually. With the completion of additional 64.5 KW, it is expected to generate around 2.5 lakh units annually.

With this new installation the auto component manufacturer is expected to save around 17.5 lakh rupees per year considering a tariff of INR 7 per unit.

Commenting on the expansion of the project, Animesh Damani, Managing Partner, Artha Energy Resources said, “The expansion work is a testimony of how industrial units can utilize their space and save on costs by adopting solar.The addition of new capacity will help our client meet its growing demand for energy and at the same time cut down on energy costs.”

By 2023 Artha Energy Resources aims to add around 30 MW of assets from solar.
