Growatt Inverters Power A Large Beverage Factory in Uttar Pradesh

India, a country brimming with potential, has witnessed significant growth in its solar energy sector in recent years. In 2023, the Indian government released the National Electricity Plan (NEP) for 2022-2032, projecting a 337 GW installed capacity of renewable energy by 2026-2027, with solar accounting for over 50%. The demand for rooftop solar projects in India’s C&I sectors will continue to be a key driver for realizing the target. Integrated solar systems can slash manufacturing costs for the long run. Against this backdrop, Uttar Pradesh, one of India’s most populous states, has emerged as a hot spot for renewable energy projects.

In December 2023, Vibgyor Energy finished a 5.3 MW PV project for Moon Beverages Limited, a large soft drink factory located in Uttar Pradesh, India. This project, powered by 9788 solar panels and 29 Growatt ‘MAX 125KTL3-X LV’ inverters, can generate about 7 million kWh a year for self-consumption and exporting the extra power to the grid. It’s equivalent to a reduction of 5409 tonnes of carbon emission or 2,198 tonnes of standard coal consumption. That’s how Moon Beverages Ltd is raising the bar for the beverage industry’s environmental responsibility. 

The key point Vibgyor Energy chose Growatt’s inverters lies its innovation and commitment to customer satisfaction. Growatt has cultivated a strategic presence in the Indian since its 2012 entry. Over twelve years, it has built a robust local team with over 60 employees and offices in five cities of India to ensure effective after-sales support. Other points that led to Growatt inverters being chosen were product reliability, grid connectivity and design flexibility offered by multiple MPPT’s. The MAX inverters used in this project are designed to handle high power and bi-facial modules, with a maximum DC input current of 32A for each MPPT. This feature ensures optimal efficiency and performance, even under varying conditions. What sets the MAX series inverters apart is their intelligent capabilities. These inverters come with smart online monitoring and troubleshooting features, supported by intelligent string monitoring, smart I-V curve scanning, and diagnosis for installers. The inverters are equipped with optional AFCI function and an IP66 protection level, making them suitable for a wide range of conditions in India. 

For small C&I solar projects, Growatt provided more options, such as MID 33-50KTL3-X2 that ensuring optimal energy conversion with 98.8% efficiency. For C&I energy storage use, they provide WIT 50-100KTL3-HU/AU with advanced features like black start capability, 100% unbalanced output, and 110% continuous AC overloading. It seamlessly integrates with the APX Commercial battery. This potent pairing enables businesses to attain energy independence and gain maximum green energy yield while enhancing operational efficiency.The successful completion of this 5MW project for the soft drink factory not only demonstrates Growatt’s technological prowess and product reliability but also its commitment to India’s energy future.
