Solar for Apartments: Out-turn of Rooftop Solar Solutions at Purva Venezia , Bengaluru – EQ Mag Pro
U-Solar rooftop system size of 247.5kW installation at the residential space Purva Venezia for 9 building blocks of the apartment
Bengaluru, XX December 2021 – U-Solar Clean Energy Solutions, Pvt.Ltd, a solar developer in India that provides complete solar power solutions for Industrial, Commercial, Institutional and Residential clients is now on an excursion into apartments and one such being Purva Venezia, Bengaluru. This massive multistorey building located in Yelahanka.
New town has installed a rooftop solar plant with a capacity of 247.6 kWp that was commissioned by U-Solar on the 16th of September 2021. The plant is set to power more than 5 building blocks of the apartment efficiently with the residents benefiting from the installation.
The detailed execution in the structural elements like hot-dip galvanized modules for mounting have been interfused for the benefit of high durability and protection against unwanted corrosion when gouged. With monocrystalline solar panels of 395Wp capacity, there has been an increase in the space efficiency of the plant that adds to the aesthetic requirements of the space. The inverters that come along with module-level optimization have given reliable and well-developed installation for apartments.
Furthermore, the project installation by U-Solar at the site of the 13540 sq. ft area will be saving Rs.24,85,000/- per year on generation. It is anticipated to generate 3,50,000 units per year which will salt away 1985 trees with more than 400 cars being taken off the road besides more than 1300 tonnes of carbon set off for a lifetime. These numerical manifest the right cluster of sustained environmental and economic savings of adopting solar for residential purposes with a breakeven of 4 years.
Mr.Ravichandar, a representative and resident of Purva Venezia shares his inputs on the entire project process experience and execution “When we started shortlisting firms with experience and expertise that do solar we found U-Solar and being Bengaluru based added advantage for us. It is not only cost-saving and energy-saving measures but also giving back to the environment along with easing the demand on the electricity grid itself for both social and commercial obligations that made us adopt solar solutions.
The execution process was great with my monitoring being done twice a day and was quite happy with that. Involving youth for spreading awareness was also done with help of Mr.Harinarayan adding benefits in itself as the overall experience with U-Solar being very good with no grouse on it”.
Adding to installation inputs Mr. Kr Harinarayan, the Founder and Managing Director at U-Solar quotes that “For apartments, solar power makes a lot of economic sense to power their common area facilities. Purva Venezia had a lot of roof space that was largely not utilized. By putting solar panels on their unutilized spaces on their roof they were able to not only save energy costs but also achieve some degree of cooling for their top floor apartments. The return on investment for Purva is about 4 years or a return of nearly 25% on their investment. This would be a far better way to utilize any fixed deposits that an Association may be holding which yield in the range of 5 – 6%. Along with power and cost savings, the solar plant has also helped Purva residents showcase their green and sustainability credentials and we at U-Solar, are very excited in helping them achieve these objectives.
The entire operation of an efficient working solar plant takes a scope of time and work as Mr.Sanjeev Jha, Head of Operations at U-Solar quotes “ U-Solar with more than a decade of experience & a pioneer in the Rooftop Solar segments for Apartments and Residentials has come forward to optimally design and provide maximum benefit through solar and reducing the electricity bills drastically.
The economies of scale on both ends for using solar power generation in residence of more than 5 buildings are well balanced. Usage of optimized technology at module level increases the efficiency for meeting clientele requirements at the best. With the in-house expert design and execution team, U-Solar ensures the maximum area coverage and generation using the latest technology. We look forward to helping more and more apartments power with solar energy in Bengaluru city”.
Sharing some insights on proposed future installation and development in the project Ms.Dhwani Sunku, Manager Sales and Marketing at U-Solar quotes “ Solar for apartments makes so much sense since the rooftops are not utilized in most cases, moreover, the entire community comes together to create a cleaner space! We at U-Solar look for sharpening our consultancy for apartments looking to implement a rooftop system in order to not only ensure expansion in our existing projects but also support the energy transition within these growing sustainable communities while ensuring the quality remains adulatory.”
The ceased agenda of solar installation in such huge apartments is creating a dive into the solar market at a residential scale to ensure more focus and expansion in upcoming years. Metropolitan cities like Bengaluru are now longing for adopting solar solutions at customized bases and by end of this decade, it is expected to be visualized as an entire future and reliance
on the renewable energy market.
