- Client Name: Premier Irrigation Pvt. Ltd.
- Location: Butibori, Nagpur, Maharashtra
- Project Capacity: 630 kW Rooftop Solar System
- Year of Installation: 2024
- System Type: Grid-Tied Rooftop Solar
A Pioneer in Irrigation, Now Pioneering Green Energy
For over 50 years, Premier Irrigation Pvt. Ltd. has been moving water across fields, through drip lines, into the roots of India's agricultural growth. They didn't just manufacture irrigation equipment; they built the infrastructure that fed a nation.
So when the time came to make a bold move on energy, it was never going to be a casual decision.
Premier Irrigation, Butibori facility runs heavy. Continuous production, round-the-clock machinery, and a power bill that reflected every hour of it. The management had seen the numbers long enough it was time to act. But Premier Irrigation doesn't cut corners. A company that pioneered inline dripline manufacturing in India and built ultra-high-pressure HDPE systems for tea and coffee plantations knows one thing above all else: the right system, installed right, lasts a lifetime.
They went looking for a solar EPC company that matched that standard. Not the cheapest. Not the flashiest. The most capable.
Chirayu Power was that answer.
After a thorough evaluation, Chirayu Power was selected to design and install a 630 kW grid-tied rooftop solar system at their Butibori, Nagpur facility bringing together Waaree's Tier 1 N-Type modules, Growatt inverters, and Chirayu Power's engineering precision into one high-performance installation.
A company that has spent 50 years perfecting the science of water now has a system perfecting the science of sunlight.
Project Overview
Premier Irrigation Pvt. Ltd. is one of India's most respected names in micro-irrigation a pioneer with over 50 years of experience in manufacturing modern irrigation equipment and systems. Their Butibori, Nagpur facility operates with high and continuous power demands across their production lines.
With rising electricity costs impacting operational efficiency, Premier Irrigation management took a strategic decision to invest in rooftop solar reducing grid dependence, lowering the carbon footprint of their manufacturing operations, and securing energy costs for the long term.
Chirayu Power was selected to execute the 630 kW rooftop solar installation at their Buttibori facility, bringing its proven industrial solar expertise to one of Maharashtra's most respected manufacturers.

Annual Clean Energy Generation: ~8,82,000 Units / Year
Annual Savings: ₹83,79,000 / Year
Key Challenges Faced During Installation
The Buttibori facility presented a unique structural challenge the rooftop comprised both south-slope and north-slope shed sections, requiring two distinct mounting solutions to be engineered simultaneously.
Chirayu Power's engineering team designed a dual-structure approach: an aluminium long rail system for the south-slope sections and a hot dip galvanised tilted structure for the north-slope sections both optimised to maximise solar generation from every available panel.
Coordination with MSEDCL for net metering, generation meter installation, and CEIG approvals was managed end-to-end by Chirayu Power, ensuring a seamless commissioning process with no additional burden on the client.
Project Outcome
The 630 kW rooftop solar system at Premier Irrigation Pvt. Ltd. is designed to generate 8,82,000 units of clean energy per year significantly reducing the facility's dependence on grid power and delivering a massive measurable saving of ₹83,79,000 on electricity costs year after year.
With Waaree's Tier 1 N-Type TopCon modules, Growatt's IEC-approved inverters, and Chirayu Power's precision installation, the system is built for 25+ years of high-performance generation.
From dual-slope mounting engineering to end-to-end MSEDCL approvals, Chirayu Power delivered a complete, hassle-free solar solution exactly what a pioneering manufacturer like PIAL deserved.
Conclusion
The successful commissioning of the 630 kW rooftop solar plant at Premier Irrigation Pvt. Ltd., Butibori, Nagpur in 2024 is a testament to what happens when an experienced industrial manufacturer partners with an equally committed solar engineering team.
Chirayu Power remains dedicated to delivering engineering-first, quality-driven solar installations that help India's leading industries achieve energy independence, sustainability, and long-term financial savings one project at a time.
