UTILITY SCALE PROJECT

We have a Team of 100+ Solar plant installer engineers and Service engineers that have assisted and installed multiple MWs of Land-based Solar Plants

Captive Ground Mounted UTILITY SCALE SOLAR PROJECT

We started our journey in the year 2015 with Asian Paints when we received an order from them for a 5 MW turnkey land mounted captive solar power plant for their plant in Rohtak, Haryana, where they have a load of more than 25 MW.
