180 KW Solar Project for Viraj Cottex Parbhani

Client: Mr. Nikhil Chaudary (Viraj Cottex)
Location: Parbhani, Maharashtra
Project Capacity: 180 kW

Project Overview:

Our journey with Viraj Cottex began through a recommendation from Mr. Subhash Dwarkadas Chaudhari, who was impressed with our previous installations at Neo Prime (400 kW) and Amit Cot Fiber (1000 kW). After witnessing the high-quality performance of these projects, Mr. Chaudhari, the owner of Viraj Cottex, decided to award the 180 kW solar project to Chirayu Power Pvt. Ltd. in Parbhani, Maharashtra.

The installation had to be executed during the peak cotton ginning season, which meant the project had to be carried out without disrupting the ongoing factory operations. Our team ensured that the project was completed seamlessly with zero downtime for the client’s production.

This project was particularly challenging due to the flammable cotton fibers in the area, which required extra precautions during welding and fabrication. We implemented strict safety protocols to ensure the safety of our workforce and the facility. No incidents occurred during the execution, showcasing our commitment to both safety and quality.
