Commercial & Industrial PV

Kärcher India, the Indian arm of Germany-based cleaning technology company Kärcher, is eyeing the growing demand from large-scale commercial and industrial solar installations in India and also looking to tailor its solutions for residential rooftop solar installations.

Solis has introduced its 8kW, 15kW, and 50kW high-power hybrid PV inverters, which offer robust energy storage solutions for both residential and commercial use. It also unveiled its 3kW, 5kW, 150kW, and 350kW grid-tied inverters, tailored for residential, commercial, and utility-scale applications.

The future of the solar industry hangs in the balance as manufacturers, regulators, and market players grapple with a perfect storm of falling prices, rising costs, and a fiercely competitive global landscape.

The order book includes 1.5 GW of solar projects to be executed within a timeline of 12 to 18 months.

Torrent Power will set up an 8.5 MWp solar power project for supply of renewable power to the production units of The Lakshmi Mills Co. Ltd (TLMCL) under open access.

Livguard has launched its high-frequency solar inverters that are compact, lightweight, and low-noise.  

A group of researchers has proposed a new method for the sizing of PV systems that do not rely on an anti-dump system and operate without the possibility of injecting power into the grid. The novel approach requires an estimate of the annual hourly profile and the minimum power demanded, as well as the use of an irradiance meter and an electrical network analyzer.

In India, Solis solar inverters command a 32% market share in the residential segment and 40% share in the C&I segment.

Adani will supply clean energy from its solar-wind hybrid project at Khavda, Gujarat, to power Google’s cloud services and operations in India.

Hartek Group has surpassed 10 GW of solar projects across its power systems, transmission and distribution (T&D), and renewable EPC business units.
