Okaya Power Group commissions 100 KWp Hybrid Solar plant in Baddi, Himachal Pradesh at its manufacturing unit, which will generate more than 144 Mwh energy annually, reducing its power consumption from the grid to 40%.
The commissioned hybrid solar plant makes the unit self-sufficient for its daily energy requirement and supports an uninterrupted production process with a continuous power supply even in unanticipated power cuts due to grid failure.
The capacity of Okaya’s hybrid solar plant is 100 KWp with 306 number of 330Wp modules, 250 Kw Power Conditioning System (PCS) and 250 kwH Li-ion battery energy storage with Battery Management System (BMS). The efficient BMS and Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) manages energy requirements as per application, in addition to backup support, load sharing, energy shifting, etc.
Anshul Gupta, Director, Okaya Power Private Ltd., said: “We are exhilarated, with this move of shifting our dependency for energy requirement, from the grid to hybrid solar plant with a simultaneous result of mitigating the negative impact on the environment by reducing the carbon footprints. We also remain committed to supporting the Government of India for its sustainable energy initiatives, and this BESS-supported 100 KWp hybrid solar plant is an endeavour to keep reinventing the way we produce and serve our customers.”
Hybrid solar systems generate power in the same way as a grid-tie solar system but use special hybrid inverters and batteries to store energy and operate as a backup power supply. It is a great solution for conserving energy sources by reducing wastage and global warming, in addition to sustainable development.
