EPC player Tata Power Solar, a JV between Tata Power and British
Petroleum (BP) Solar has commissioned a 2 MW solar power plant in Tamil
Nadu, considered the largest rooftop facility in South India.
In a statement, Tata Solar said it is the largest rooftop solar plant in
South India. The plant is the first phase of a 3-MW project and work on
the second phase of 1 MW will begin early next year.
The plant is for captive consumption. To avail REC benefits, it is connected to the grid through a dedicated feeder at 11 KV.
The rooftop solar system is built on top of the existing spinning mills and a warehouse.
Spread across three buildings, with 800 kW on a single building, the
plant will help displace about 2,500 tonnes of carbon dioxide per annum.
Arul Shanmugasundaram, EVP Projects, Tata Power Solar, said, “Rooftop
solar power is increasingly being used as a mainstream option for power
generation.”
