20 May 2010
New Delhi: Automotive parts maker Omax Auto Ltd has installed 200 kWp rooftop solar photo voltaic (SPV) power generation systems, at its Manesar and Dharuhera facilities.
These efficient and cost-effective SPV systems, designed and developed by Moser Baer Photo Voltaic Ltd, feed power directly to the building level grid of the facilities and obviate the need for any battery back-up systems or the maintenance associated with them.
Jatender Mehta, managing director, Omax Auto Ltd, said that the installation of roof top photo voltaic solar solution was a major step in the utilisation of clean renewable energy as a primary source of power.
Omax estimates each of these rooftop projects to result in an annual saving of over 40,000 litres of diesel, leading to savings of approx 2 million kilograms of CO2 over a period of 20 years.
Moser Baer has provided a complete turnkey solution including design, engineering, procurement, construction, commissioning, grid and DG Set synchronisation and will provide operations and maintenance services for the project.
"The high point of the system is that it has been designed in such a manner that solar energy produced will get first priority of consumption over power generated through DG,'' said Dr. Rajiv Arya, CEO of Moser Baer Photo Voltaic.
