Mumbai City gets the largest rooftop installation on a Cricket Stadium in the World

• An iconic marquee premises in South Mumbai has turned to Renewable Energy by installing a rooftop Solar PV project to generate clean and green power to supplement its energy requirements.
• With the completion of the newly installed 820kWp roof top solar system on the roof of Brabourne Stadium, CCI is now on a striking path to energy independence. This is the largest project implemented on a single roof by a private entity in Mumbai.
• This project will be the largest rooftop solar PV installation on a cricket stadium in the world.
• Having previous installed a 45kW system a few years ago under the net metering scheme, it stands no surprise that the CCI committee and members alike chose to build a clean, renewable and sustainable tomorrow for their future generations.
• The newly installed system on the north and west stands will account for a major chunk of the electricity being consumed by the club, stadium and its peripheral occupants. The east stand is set to be considered for a future expansion.
• The system is expected to generate a total of 11,48,000 electricity units annually. In it’s operational life of 25 years, the project would have generated about 2,87,00,000 units of clean & green energy.
• Mitigating 25,215 tons of CO₂ during its operational life the project will significantly contribute to protecting the environment in the years to come. This is equivalent to planting 40,344 teak trees.
• Excelsior Engineering Solution was appointed to carry out the Pre-Engineering, Vendor Evaluation, Project Implementation Assistance and Supervision on behalf of the Club.
• The Club`s authorities are proud to showcase the use of state of the art latest technologies from across the world being utilized in the setting up of the project with a total of 2280 solar PV panels of 360Wp each.
• Being a place of sporting action where a lot of general public also visits during matches and concerts, the Club has left no stone unturned in ensuring world class safety precautions and measures for the protection of the system and guests alike.
• It shall be a true marvel to be a spectator in the stands where the electricity powering the score boards and review screens in being generated by the over head roofs of those very stands itself.
• Undertaking such a noble initiative while being one of India`s oldest and most prestigious sporting bodies, sets a benchmark for other institutions and organizations to adopt. Due to the sheer volume and scale of visitors witnessed by the club, the project is set to generate a wide spread awareness on rooftop solar, while putting making itself a predominant icon on the Nations Solar Mission.
• “Special care was taken right from the pre-engineering phase to ensure the safety of the system due to the high-speed winds witnessed at the location and protection against corrosion was a predominant criteria while selecting the components being utilized for the project due to its close proximity to the sea. The entire project is a world class project with the equipment’s selected being best in it’s class.” Said Mr. Uday Doshi, Founder of Excelsior Engineering Solutions.
• Excelsior Engineering Solutions has successfully provided services to over 1000 MW`s of solar projects across 13 states of India. With a spectrum of service like Design & Engineering, Project Management Consultancy, Owner`s Engineering, 3^rd Party Validation and Bid Assistance; it has enabled EES to develop a vast and varied client base that consistently relies on it for accurate and effective results.
