Hyderabad : Vikram Solar, one of the leading module manufacturers and solar EPC player, today commissioned a 200MW solar power project for APGENCO that will power some 1.5 lakh homes once connected to the grid. The plant, situated in Anatapur is segregated into two blocks of 100 MW each for better management and higher efficiency.
The project is spread across 1,000 acres (500 acres each for 100 MW) of undulated rocky terrain, and power will be evacuated at 33 KV level in two pooling substations of 33/220 KV capacity, which will further evacuate power to 220/400 KV main substation.
In the project, a total of 8,48,680 modules, ranging from 320 wp to 330 wp were installed. The project is expected to produce 446 MU energy annually and will reduce 210 metric tonnes of CO2 emissions in a year.
