2100 kW Solar Power Solution for Nagpur Pyrolusite Industries
Client: Nagpur Pyrolusite Industries Location: Amravati Road, Nagpur, Maharashtra Total Installed Capacity: 2100 kW (2.1 MW) Number of Panels Installed: 3,743 Panels
About the Client
Nagpur Pyrolusite Pvt. Ltd., along with its parent company Sanjay Industries , is a leading manufacturer of Manganese Dioxide, Granulated Manganese Dioxide, and Manganese Oxide . Operating from Nagpur, the company requires significant electrical energy to maintain high-volume production. To reduce energy costs and adopt a sustainable path, they partnered with Chirayu Power Pvt. Ltd. to implement a comprehensive solar power solution.
Project Overview
The total capacity of 2.1 MW was executed in two phases:
Phase 2:
- Phase 1: Installed Capacity: 1102 kW
- Panels Used: Jinko Solar 545 Wp - 2022 Panels
- Mounting Type: Ground-mounted bifacial setup
- Installed Capacity: 998 kW
- Panels Used: Jinko Solar 580 Wp – 1,721 Panels
- Inverter Configuration: SolarEdge 100 kVA × 11 units
- SolarEdge 82 kVA × 7 units
- SolarEdge 33 kVA × 1 unit
Mounting Structure & Design
- Type: Ground-mounted using heavy-duty galvanized and galvalume materials
- Design: Landscape orientation to optimize the bifacial effect for N-type modules
- Wind Load Resistance: Engineered to withstand speeds up to 150 km/h
Civil & Structural Work
- Included Scope: Civil footing for both mounting structures and inverter sheds
- Custom-designed inverter protection shades on ground
Earthing & Lightning Protection
Lightning Arrestors:
- Earthing System: Pure copper bonded rods with 25 kg DISCOM-approved earthing powder
- Complete with earthing chambers, as per IEEE standards
- CU Type LA with hot-dip galvanized strip earthing and insulators
- 6 ESE Type LA with 108-meter protection range
Instrumentation Cabling
- Brands Used: Polycab, Thermo Cables, RR Electro Devices, Cord, Apar, Advance
Monitoring & Smart Control
- SCADA Integration: Weather monitoring, CUF & PR ratio tracking
- Advanced Analytics: Daily monitoring of generation, load pattern, and energy consumption
- Smart Monitoring Platform: Enables 24x7 real-time insights across both phases
Performance & Environmental Benefits
Based on the combined 2,100 kW solar installation, the system is expected to generate:
- Annual Energy Generation: → Approx. 3.25 million units/year (based on ~1550 units/kW annually)
- Electricity Cost Savings: → Estimated ₹2.5–₹2.8 crore per year in power bill reduction depending on effective tariff
- Environmental Impact: → CO₂ emissions offset equivalent to 2,800+ tons/year → Positive impact equivalent to planting over 270,000 trees
Conclusion
The successful execution of this 2.1 MW project showcases Nagpur Pyrolusite Industries’ commitment to green energy and long-term cost efficiency. Chirayu Power Pvt. Ltd. is proud to lead this solar transformation for one of the region’s top industrial players. This project stands as a strong benchmark for high-efficiency ground-mounted solar systems with smart SCADA-based monitoring in the heavy manufacturing sector.
