Gautam Solar Expands Module Mounting Str Mfg Capacity by 10 Times

Solar manufacturer Gautam Solar Private Limited, which is based in New Delhi, has expanded its production footprint by boosting the manufacturing unit of solar module mounting structures by 10 times from 50 metric tons per month to 500 metric tons per month, the company said in an official statement.

Based in Haridwar, the state-of-the-art unit will produce SMM (solar module mounting) structures for solar pumps, solar power plants (utility scale & rooftops) along with solar street lights, and high masts, Gautam Solar added.

The unit’s expansion is aimed at allowing Gautam Solar to cater to India’s ambitious renewable energy targets. The structure has been designed to withstand wind speed up to 150 Kms / hour for the purpose of providing robustness and a longer life.

“Our expansion plans have been in the pipeline for a while, and we would like to thank our founder and visionary technocrat, Mr. B. K. Mohanka, who is an Ex-Professor, Engineering College for lending his expertise,” said Gautam Mohanka, Managing Director, Gautam Solar.

“Mr. Mohanka’s experience with fabrication & building structures for more complex commercial projects, like Airport Hangars, food silos, warehouses gave the technical grounding to Gautam Solar to expand its structure fabrication unit. It promises to be the ultimate one-stop solution for solar power plant & Solar Pump systems integrators where they can get Solar Panels & Structures both compatible with each other at a single place,” he said.

“Earlier solar system integrators faced the issue of non-compatibility between the Mounting Structures & Solar Panel. Also, standalone structure manufacturers did not have an understanding of solar and missed minute but important issues related to integration,” Mohanka explained.

“Gautam Solar’s integrated solution & inherent knowledge base of solar industry helps in this. This way Solar SIs can execute and deliver their projects much faster as they are taking all components from a single manufacturer,” he added.
