India’s largest floating solar plant installed at Singareni thermal power plant
The project was floated by Singareni Colleries and awarded to Novus Green Energy Systems & Ilios Power consortium through e-bidding process
Hyderabad: Novus Green Energy Systems said it has successfully installed and synchronised India's largest floating solar plant with transparent glass-to-glass modules at the Singareni thermal power plant, Jaipur, Mancherial district.
The plant has a total capacity of 15 MW (AC) / 19.5 MW (DC), and phase 1, which has been commissioned, has a capacity of 5 MW(AC)/6.5MW (DC). The plant uses transparent glass-to-glass solar modules, which are more efficient than traditional solar modules, and is the first of its kind to be manufactured and used at this scale in India.
The project was floated by Singareni Colleries and was awarded to Novus Green Energy Systems & Ilios Power consortium through e-bidding process.
The solar panels used in the plant have been manufactured in India as part of the government's "Make in India" initiative by Novus Green.
Anshuman Yenigalla, the managing director of Novus Green Energy, stated that it is a double windfall as end-to-end manufacturing and execution have been done by Novus Green through their inhouse teams and manufacturing facility.
