130 KW Solar Project for Radha Industries, Akola
Client: Radha Industries & Vidhya Industries
Location: MIDC, Akola, Maharashtra
Client’s Representative: Mr. Kirit Mantri
Project Overview:
Radha Industries and Vidhya Industries, both located in MIDC, Akola, Maharashtra, form part of the same industrial facility. The client, Mr. Kirit Mantri, opted for a 130 kW solar solution to reduce energy costs and enhance sustainability. Chirayu Power Pvt. Ltd. was chosen to deliver the project, with 65 kW installed at Radha Industries and 65 kW installed at Vidhya Industries. Both installations were identical, featuring high-efficiency Trina Solar 445 Wp Mono + PERC + Twin Peak panels, SolarEdge inverters, and P-1100 optimizers, ensuring optimal performance across both divisions.
The project is designed to help both divisions meet their energy needs while supporting their environmental goals.
Total Installation Capacity: 130 kW (65 kW for each division)
- Panels: Trina 445 Wp Mono + PERC + Twin Peak Panels
- Inverters: SolarEdge 55.2 kVA x 1 Inverter (for each division)
- Optimizer: P-1100 Optimizers
- Completion: 2020
Project Summary:
The 130 kW solar system was installed across Radha Industries and Vidhya Industries, using Trina 445 Wp Mono + PERC + Twin Peak panels, SolarEdge inverters, and P-1100 optimizers for enhanced performance and maximum energy generation. Both systems were designed to ensure consistent, reliable power generation while reducing dependency on grid electricity.
Key features of the system include module-level monitoring, safety railings, staircases, and walkways, ensuring ease of maintenance and protection for maintenance personnel. The systems are remote-monitored to ensure ongoing performance optimization.
