Tata Power Solar has commissioned a 300 MW project in Dholera, Gujarat. It is India's largest single-axis solar tracker system. The project generates 774 MUs annually. Along with this, it reduces approximately 704340 MT/year of carbon emission. The installation entails 873012 nos. of Monocrystalline PV Modules. The project was commissioned well within the stipulated timeline.
Despite the various COVID-19 challenges faced by the industry, TPREL through Tata Power's EPC arm Tata Power Solar Systems Limited has successfully completed the project within the project timelines due to its excellent project execution capabilities and experience. Tata Power managed customized installation, basis the geographical locations and land conditions. The total area used for the installation was 1320 Acre divided into six different plots of 220 acres each.
The weather conditions at the site during the construction period were unpredictable due to very heavy rains leading to the 33 KV cable trench being submerged in water. However, with the help of floaters, the execution team laid HT Cables at the location. Pre-cast ballasts were also used to lay power cables 500 mm above the ground instead of conventional underground laying. Despite the challenges like weather, machinery, and manpower movement, the project was commissioned successfully.
Commissioning of India's largest single-axis solar tracker system of 300 MW Solar plant at Dholera in Gujarat within the set timelines is a proud moment for Tata Power Solar. Our technical expertise and project execution skills further solidifies our position in the solar EPC space and help India lead the way in renewable energy growth. Tata Power Solar also distributed masks and created awareness at the project site on Covid-19 pandemic by undertaking trainings, complied the SOPs issued by both the state and central governments.
