Omax Autos intros 200 kWp of solar PV power designed and installed by MBPV at Manesar and Dharuhera, Haryana

NEW DELHI & GURGAON, INDIA: Omax Auto Ltd, a major in manufacturing automotive parts, recently announced successful installation of 200 kWp rooftop solar photo voltaic(SPV) power generation projects, designed and developed by Moser Baer Photo Voltaic Ltd (MBPV) at their Manesar and Dharuhera facilities.

These highly efficient and cost effective SPV systems feed power directly to the building level grid of their facilities and importantly, they obviate the need for any battery back-up systems and the maintenance associated with them. Each of these roof top projects will result into an annual saving of more than 40,000 ltrs of diesel, leading to savings of approx 2 million Kgs of CO2 over a period of 20 years.

MBPV has provided a complete turn-key solution including Design, Engineering, Procurement, Construction, Commissioning, Grid and DG Set synchronization. Furthermore, the company will also provide Operations & Maintenance services for the project.

The unique hybrid system has been specifically customized wherein solar, DG and grid power will work synergistically. Interestingly, the system has been designed in such a manner that whenever solar power is being produced, it will automatically get first priority, thereby, maximizing the use of clean Solar Power.

Deepak Gupta, Secretary, Ministry of New & Renewable Energy, Govt. of India said: “The commissioning of these 200 kWp rooftop SPV projects is indeed a commendable beginning to the industrial usage of rooftop solar PV solutions. I laud the Omax and Moser Baer teams on their vision and wish them success in expanding roof top SPV solutions to other locations as well. Indian solar story is gathering speed and significant projects like these will help us in achieving the targets set in the National Solar Mission.”

Jatender Mehta, Managing Director, Omax Auto Ltd, added: “Omax Auto Ltd has always believed in promoting clean manufacturing technology and the installation of roof top photo voltaic solar solution is a major step in utilization of clean renewable energy as a primary source of power. Moser Baer has commissioned this project in a short period of time and thanks to their experience and technical know-how, we have been able to put up a state-of-art solar photo voltaic (SPV) power generation project.”

Dr. Rajiv Arya, CEO of MBPV, noted: “This state-of-the-art system showcases our unique EPC capabilities and designing strength. The highpoint 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. The SPV systems in these facilities are performing well, demonstrating an outstanding combination of high-quality manufacturing and system design engineering.”
