125 kWp Solar Power Plant Commissioned for Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC)

Project Overview

We successfully engineered and commissioned a 125 kWp rooftop solar power plant for BARC, one of India’s most prestigious and technically demanding institutions.

The project required a customized modified ballast type mounting structure, carefully designed to meet stringent technical, structural, and site specific requirements.

This installation stands as a testament to our engineering precision, structural integrity planning, and safety first execution methodology.

Engineering & Structural Design

Heavy Duty Mounting StructureTo meet the demanding site conditions and ensure extended service life, the project was executed using:

  • Heavy duty mounting structure
  • HDGI coating of 120 microns for superior corrosion resistance
  • Designed for enhanced durability under varied environmental conditions

The Hot Dip Galvanized Iron (HDGI) coating ensures:

  • Long term protection against corrosion
  • Structural reliability
  • Reduced maintenance over the system lifecycle

Modified Ballast Tray Design
The mounting system incorporated a carefully engineered ballast configuration:

  • 30 trays installed
  • Each tray designed with 7 ballast blocks
  • Engineered for stability without compromising rooftop integrity

This ballast based system eliminated the need for invasive roof penetration, making it ideal for sensitive and high security infrastructure environments.

Execution Challenges & Precision Planning

Structural Weight Considerations
The project involved significant structural weight management:

  • Base tray weight: 70 kg
  • Each counterweight block: 60 kg
  • 7 ballast blocks per tray
  • 130 trays installed

Given the substantial weight of the mounting system and ballast blocks, meticulous planning was required for:

  • Safe material handling
  • Load distribution assessment
  • Controlled lifting and placement

Crane & Boom Deployment

To ensure safe and precise installation:

  • Crane/boom lifting arrangements were strategically deployed
  • Materials were lifted and positioned with controlled precision
  • Strict adherence to safety protocols was maintained throughout execution

This approach ensured:

  • Zero compromise on safety
  • Structural alignment accuracy
  • Efficient installation within project timelines

Performance Driven Design

Scientifically Optimized Orientation

The solar modules were:

  • South facing
  • Scientifically positioned to maximize solar irradiance capture
  • Engineered to deliver optimal generation throughout the year

This orientation ensures:

  • Maximum energy yield
  • Improved performance consistency
  • Higher return on energy output over system life

Key Project Highlights

  • 125 kWp rooftop solar installation
  • Modified ballast type heavy duty mounting system
  • 120 micron HDGI coated structure
  • 130 engineered ballast trays
  • Precision crane-assisted execution
  • Optimized south-facing module alignment

Delivering Reliable Solar Power for a Critical Institution

Executing a project for an institution like BARC demands:

  • Engineering excellence
  • Rigorous quality standards
  • Structured execution methodology
  • Safety first planning

This 125 kWp installation reflects our capability to deliver technically complex, structurally demanding, and performance oriented solar EPC projects with uncompromising quality and precision.

A project built not just to generate power but to deliver long term reliability, structural stability, and optimized performance.
