3 MWp Jindal
Information
Scope: Solar PV Rooftops
Location: Nashik, Maharashtra, India
Client: Jindal Poly Films
Solar EPC: Empereal’s joint venture partner (Harsha Abakus Solar Private Limited)
Status: Commissioned in 2016
Located in Nashik, Jindal Polyfilms is the largest manufacturer of BOPET and BOPP films in India. With an installed capacity of 3 MWp, this Rooftop Solar Plant at their Nashik factory is one of the largest single location rooftop plants in Maharashtra. It is also the first project that is installed for Captive Consumption as well as to fulfil RPO Obligations.
We built the total capacity of 3MWp using 10,000 solar panels spread across a roof of over 30,000 square meters. Apart from the aged metal sheet roof, the numerous skylights and turbo- ventilators on the roof posed serious obstacles, all of which were cleared out during the design stage. The execution was challenging, due to hot air and smoke emitting from the exhaust, and the access to the roof being very difficult.
Despite the numerous site challenges, this project was successfully executed in September 2016.
