PROJECT BRIEF DETAILS
- Capacity of Plant: 270.6 Kwp
- MMS Type: Seam Clamp Type
- Roof related: Seam Rib Type roof (shed 1-15 mtr., shed 2- 17 mtr.)
- Availability of Roof Access: Monkey ladder at both the shed
CHALLENGES & SOLUTIONS
- Lots of documentation was required in quick time & our in house team prepared & submitted them within predefined timeline in response to RFQ
- Our team of experienced engineers mitigated all the obstacles to avoid any delay & within deadline prepared & submitted the commitment paper for Generation Guarantee to the authorities
- Heavy rainfall at site location created an obstacle on proper site survey resulting in little delay in finalization of MMS & overall design. Commendable high pre-engineering effort of VS team of engineers addressed this issue with and successfully designed the system within timeline
- Team EPC of Vikram Solar has to manage & quicken the approval process of net metering from the Gujarat state DISCOM by submitting all the required documents & supportings
PLANNING & EXECUTION
- This project is Vikram Solar’s 1st VSL rooftop project in the city of Vadodara. Total 820 nos. solar PV modules were installed in the 270 kW rooftop solar plant
