Moser Baer Photovoltaic (MBPV), a subsidiary of Moser Baer India Limited, today announced that it has won a contract from Roads and Buildings Department of Gujarat to set up one of India's largest roof-top solar photovoltaic (SPV) installations in Surat. The SPV system, of approximately 135 Kilowatt-Peak (kWp) installed capacity, will run a 40kW load for 10 hours every day and will charge a battery bank of 6,000 ampere hours.

 

Work on the project has already started and the complete system will be commissioned by April 2009. MBPV will also manage the operations and maintenance of this site for seven years.

 

Commenting on the development, Rajiv Arya, the Chief Executive Officer of MBPV, said: "This contract underlines our unmatched capability to design and build reliable and customized solar systems in a cost-effective manner. This project is in line with the Gujarat government's focus on clean and renewable energy in the state."

 

MBPV has within two years of its existence established itself as India's largest integrated solar photovoltaic player. It offers customized grid-hybrid, off-grid and power back-up solutions for a number of applications like building rooftops, telecom towers, banks and ATMs, rural  electrification, water pumping, etc. Its systems are specially designed for reducing the load on diesel generators or even totally eliminating them, thereby helping customers achieve breakeven on their investments within a reasonable time-frame. After achieving breakeven users get almost free power for the rest of the life of the system, which typically is between 10 to 15 years.

 

In addition, MBPV views large solar farms as one of its key growth drivers and has a special wing to provide turnkey services for such farms.
