L&T Construction commissions 7.52 mwp solar plant in Punjab

L&T Constructions, country's largest solar EPC company, today said it has commissioned a solar photovoltaic (PV) plant of 7.52 mwp capacity on a single roof at Amritsar in Punjab.
It has employed multi-crystalline module technology and central inverters to optimise efficiency for this project, the company said in a release.
More than 30,000 panels were erected on the rooftop of the shed spread over 94,000 square metres area.
The energy generated from this plant is being fed to the local grid through a power purchase agreement (PPA) signed with the state distribution company under the New and Renewable Sources of Energy (NRSE) policy, the company said.

"This is for us, at L&T Construction, a significant step towards establishing our credentials. It is also extremely creditable that this state-of-the-art solar power plant has already exceeded the estimated performance," L&T Senior Executive Vice President (infrastructure and construction) S N Subrahmanyan said.
L&T has over 400 mw (including commissioned and under- construction) solar PV and concentrated solar thermal power projects in the country.
