Hartek Solar Commissions Rooftop Solar Project at a Panchkula Hospital

Hartek Solar has announced the commissioning of its latest rooftop solar project of 50 kWp capacity at a hospital in Panchkula.

Chandigarh-based solar solutions provider Hartek Solar has announced the commissioning of its latest rooftop solar project of 50 kWp capacity at a hospital in Panchkula. As per the firm, the rooftop solar system at Alchemist Hospital will generate approximately 72.5 MWh of clean electricity annually, offsetting 1,397 tonnes of carbon emissions, a company statement said.

Hartek Solar, which executed the project right from installation of solar panels and inverter to supply, design, engineering and commissioning, has synced the plant with a smart grid-interactive inverter system, which will enable the hospital to run its medical emergency services and diagnostic facilities without any glitches.

“This project is yet another testimony of our expertise in the rooftop solar domain and our track record of keeping up high project execution standards. The potential of rooftop solar in the private institutional category is immense, and we are going all out to tap it,” Hartek Solar Director and CEO Simarpreet Singh said.

Further adding that there is a growing realisation among institutions like hospitals and schools about how rooftop solar can substantially reduce their electricity bills and provide a reliable and uninterrupted source of electricity without depending on heavy inverters and diesel-based generator sets.

The tariff rates for rooftop solar work out to be 17-27 percent cheaper as compared to commercial tariffs, and this is what is primarily driving the adoption of rooftop solar in the commercial domain.

Last month, the firm had announced that it had bagged a 1.8 MW rooftop project from FMCG firm Bikaji. “Consolidating on its Pan-India presence, Hartek Solar, the rooftop solar division of Hartek Group has bagged a 1.8 MW rooftop solar project in the industrial category from Bikaji, a leading FMCG company, in Bikaner, Rajasthan,” a company statement read.

When completed the project will generate 2,822 MWh of clean electricity annually, offsetting 57,661 tonnes of carbon emissions.
