The contract involves design, manufacture, supply, installation and operation & maintenance of the solar power plant. With this project in their hands, BHEL is executing SPV based power projects totaling about 16MW. KPCL specifically selected the Crystalline Silicon Photovoltaic (C-SI PV) technology for the solar power plant project. The technology has proven results in various parts of the world and comes with longest operational experience. The entire setup will consist of an array of thousands of photovoltaic cells made up of silicon which will absorb light energy and convert it into light energy. Inverters will convert the DC power to AC and ultimately it will be fed to the grid via transformers.

BHEL is one of the few companies in India with experience in setting up the solar power plants. The company has already proven its mark in the thermal power plant design and installation and ready to prove its abilities in setting up green energy power houses.
