The Thyagaraj solar plant, which incorporates Suniva’s ARTisun series solar cells in RIL modules, has been developed using a total of 3,640 280Wp modules.
The project is expected to generate around 1.4 million kWh of electricity anually to meet the power requirements of the stadium. The surplus electricity will be fed into the grid at 11KV.
The company claimed that the solar power generated from this project will result in emissions reduction of more than 2,640,000lbs of C02 per year. The Thyagaraj Stadium, developed by the Government of Delhi, is planned to be a model green stadium and will host Netball in the upcoming Commonwealth Games.
John Baumstark, CEO of Suniva, said: ”The Thyagaraj project is a clear demonstration of Suniva’s prominence in the rapidly growing solar market in India. Our continued commitment to increasing solar cell efficiency will enable our great partners like RIL Solar Group to build more powerful plants in any location.”
