Ornate Solar’s engineering team designed, engineered and manufactured the new 530 kWp InRoof solar system in India. It serves as the primary roof over Pangaea Natural Stone’s factory in Rajasthan, covering a total area of 35,000 square feet.

Solar developers have until July 15 to lodge their interest in developing 105 MW of grid-connected floating solar at the Erai dam in Chandrapur district.

The selected developers shall set up grid-connected solar, wind or hybrid wind-solar projects on a ‘build-own-operate’ basis along with required energy storage systems for assured peak power supply. Bidding closes on July 30.

NHPC has awarded an engineering, procurement and construction contract to Adani Infra for 600 MW of solar. The capacity is part of 1 GW of grid-connected solar projects won by NHPC under the third tranche of the Central Public Sector Undertaking Program (Phase-II).

Tata Power Solar has completed a solar engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract for a 66 MW solar project in India within nine months, bringing its cumulative utility-scale PV portfolio to 9.7 GWp.

ReNew Power’s total income rose 27% year on year to INR 69,195 million ($912 million) in fiscal 2021-22, on 130 MW of solar capacity additions in the fourth quarter alone. Its overall renewables portfolio rose to 10.7 GW at the end of March, including 7.6 GW of commissioned capacity and 3.1 GW of committed projects.

State-run power generator NTPC has switched on 15 MW of capacity at the 56 MW Kawas solar project in Gujarat, following the commissioning of 20 MW in May.

Japan’s Arth has designed an autonomous habitation module that produces water in places without energy and water infrastructure. The company said the residential unit could also be used as an emergency evacuation site.

Italian solar panel manufacturer Sunerg has developed an integrated photovoltaic water heater solution based on two resistances. The system relies on a maximum power point tracking (MPPT) controller and can work with a PV module with a power output of up to 450 W.

France’s TotalEnergies has signed an agreement with Adani Enterprises to acquire 25% of its new energy arm, Adani New Industries Ltd. The joint venture platform, ANIL, will be integrated across the value chain to drive down green hydrogen production costs. It aims to develop a green hydrogen production capacity of 1 million tons per annum by 2030.
