26 Dec 2019|795 views
Skoda Auto Volkswagen India Private Limited has commissioned one of the largest solar-power rooftop systems in India at its plant in Chakan, Pune.
Together with its partner Amp Energy, the car manufacturer has installed a total of 25,770 photovoltaic panels, capable of covering up to 15% of the site's annual electricity requirements with a maximum output of 8.5MW. By putting the system into operation, the company is reducing its dependence on non-renewable energy at its Pune site and creating an important prerequisite for the plant's carbon neutrality.
The photovoltaic system utilises highly efficient polycrystalline panels to cover the 63,000m2 of roof space on the body shop complex. The installation will generate a total of 12.2 million kWh of energy per year and thus reduce CO2 emissions resulting from car production at the site by more than 9,000 tonnes per year. Direct heat radiation in the workshop is also reduced.
