Cleantech Solar has financed, designed, and constructed the fully functional solar PV system. Cleantech Solar will operate and maintain the system throughout the agreement’s term. This will help industry leaders increase their sustainability efforts by including renewable solar power in their energy mix.

Cleantech Solar’s CEO and founder, Raju Shukla, stated that “we are thrilled to be the preferred solar partner for Chloride Metals Limited. We help them sustainably power their operations with our top-ofthe-line solar solution.” It is encouraging to see industry leaders increasing their use of clean, renewable energy. The company will be able to reduce carbon emissions and increase their long-term energy security. Cleantech Solar would like both teams to be commended for successfully commissioning this rooftop project.
