Mar 2020 | Hartek Solar executes Faridkot’s First Rooftop Solar Plant at Dasmesh Dental College

Ø The plant, which happens to be the first one to be installed at any college in Faridkot, will generate 9.82 lakh units of clean electricity every year, thus offsetting 16,350 Tonnes of
carbon dioxide emissions
Ø Equivalent to saving 15 lakh trees, the project will help Dasmesh Dental College save 80-90 per cent on electricity bills
Ø Plant equipped with unique remote sensing technology which can be linked to Wi-Fi, GPRS SIM card to get alerts on maintenance, real-time data on energy generation and savings

Faridkot, March 6, 2020: In what happens to be among the largest rooftop solar projects at an educational institution in Punjab, Hartek Solar Pvt Ltd, the rooftop solar division of the Chandigarh-based Hartek Group, has installed a 600-kWp rooftop solar plant at Dasmesh Institute of Research and Dental Sciences, Faridkot. This rooftop plant also happens to be the first one to be installed at any college in Faridkot.

The 600-kWp solar PV project will generate 9.82 lakh units of clean electricity every year, thus offsetting 16,350 Tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions and meeting several day-to-day electricity requirements of Dasmesh Dental College, which caters to around 500 students. Equivalent to saving 15 lakh trees, the project will help the college save 80-90 per cent on electricity bills.

This rooftop solar plant, which was inaugurated by Prof Mahesh Sharma, Vice-Chancellor, Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University, New Delhi, in the presence of Prof O.P. Kharbanda, Chief, Centre for Dental Education, AIIMS, New Delhi, is equipped with a unique remote sensing technology which can be linked to Wi-Fi or GPRS SIM card to get alerts on cleaning and maintenance as well as real-time data on energy generation and savings. The scope of work of the project included installation of solar panels, supply, design and engineering.

Complimenting the college management for contributing to the environmental cause by opting for clean energy, Hartek Solar CEO Simarpreet Singh said, “It is heartening that such initiatives are encouraging more and more educational institutions to opt for solar power. Committed to taking up the fight against climate change by contributing to the larger cause of building sustainable energy infrastructure on every roof, we are encouraging more and more educational institutions, religious places, industries and commercial establishments to go for rooftop solar installations.”

Hartek Solar is among the leading rooftop solar installers in India with an installed capacity of more than 25 MW in the industrial, institutional, commercial and residential categories. The company, which is credited with executing Chandigarh’s first and largest project in the commercial category, a 436-kWp plant spread over six buildings at IT Park, has also installed more than 100-kWp rooftop projects at religious places.

Jan 2020 | Hartek Solar bags 1-MW Rooftop Solar Projects in Daman & Diu

Ø Riding on its expertise and track record of keeping up high project execution standards, Hartek Solar goes all out to tap rooftop solar potential of the newly merged UTs of Dadra &Nagar Haveli, Daman & Diu

Chandigarh, January 24, 2020: Extending its Pan-India footprint, Hartek Solar, the rooftop solar division of the Hartek Group with operations in more than 10 states, has marked its presence in the newly merged union territories of Dadra & Nagar Haveli and Daman & Diu by bagging around 40 rooftop solar projects to the tune of 1 MW in the industrial category in Daman & Diu.

Grabbing the opportunities presented by the solar policy of the recently merged UTs, that makes it mandatory for industrial units to install rooftop solar plants, Hartek Solar, which develops and provides complete rooftop solutions, right from installation of solar panels and inverters to supply, design, engineering and commissioning, has bagged these substantial orders by riding on its expertise in the rooftop solar domain and track record of keeping up high project execution standards.

Evenly spread across Daman and Diu, these projects are scheduled to be commissioned by the end of the current financial year.

Commenting on the achievement, Hartek Solar Director and CEO Simarpreet Singh said, “The potential of rooftop solar in the newly merged union territories is immense, particularly in the industrial category, and we are going all out to tap it.

While Daman & Diu has close to 3,000 small-scale and medium-scale industries, Dadra & Nagar Haveli is home to more than 2,000 small-scale units, 500 medium-scale units and 28 large-scale enterprises. With favourable policy decisions like demand aggregation initiatives making considerable impact, the industry is well poised to drive the demand for rooftop solar here in coming months.”

So as to accelerate the adoption of rooftop solar in Dadra & Nagar Haveli and Daman & Diu, the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy had embarked on a big campaign for rooftop solar market aggregation last year. “Focused on reaching out to consumers, creating visibility for policies and vendor base for rooftop solar PV plants, these demand aggregation initiatives, which are being implemented in coordination with state nodal agencies, electricity distribution companies and developers, have made a big difference in making industrial consumers realise how rooftop solar can substantially reduce their electricity bills,” said Simarpreet.

He said that with the industrial and commercial categories accounting for70 per cent of India’s total installed rooftop capacity, Hartek Solar has set a target of executing 10-MW rooftop projects in the industrial domain by the end of this year.

Hartek Solar has emerged as one of India’s leading rooftop solar installers with an installed capacity of more than 25 MW across the industrial, commercial and residential categories in just three years of its inception.
