Project Overview
We successfully executed the Supply, Installation, Testing & Commissioning (SITC) of a 200 kWp rooftop solar power plant at Vikram Bhavan, Anushakti Nagar, within the BARC campus.
Installed over a multi-level car parking structure, this project required a meticulous approach to structural design, wind load resistance, safety integration, and long term operational reliability. The execution reflects a balance of engineering precision, safety first implementation, and performance driven design for critical institutional infrastructure.
Structural Engineering Excellence
Aluminium Anodized Long-Rail Mounting Structure
The plant is supported by a:
- Aluminium anodized long rail solar module mounting structure
- Corrosion resistant and lightweight design
- Optimized for durability in coastal and high-humidity environments
Aluminium anodizing enhances:
- Surface hardness
- Corrosion resistance
- Long-term structural integrity
- Reduced maintenance requirements
This ensures stable module support without imposing excessive load on the parking structure.
Optimized Ventilation & Thermal Performance
To enhance module efficiency and lifespan:
- 120 mm clearance maintained between roof surface and modules
This design enables:
- Improved airflow beneath panels
- Reduced heat accumulation
- Better thermal dissipation
- Sustained performance during peak temperature conditions
The result is improved energy yield and enhanced long term system reliability.
Wind Load & Structural Safety Compliance
Given the exposed rooftop environment, the system was engineered to:
- Withstand wind speeds up to 180 km/hr
- Maintain structural rigidity under extreme weather conditions
Wind load calculations and anchoring mechanisms were carefully engineered to ensure:
- Zero structural compromise
- Secure module fixation
- Compliance with safety standards
Waterproofing & Infrastructure Protection
To protect the integrity of the parking structure:
- All weather proof silicone gel applied for waterproofing of L-angles
This ensures:
- Prevention of water seepage
- Protection against structural corrosion
- Long term durability of the mounting interface
Special care was taken to maintain rooftop waterproofing without affecting civil infrastructure.
Integrated Safety & Maintenance Planning
Beyond installation, the project was designed with long-term O&M considerations in mind.
70-Meter Safety Lifeline System
- 70 meters of safety lifeline installed
- Enables secure cleaning and maintenance operations
This ensures:
- Worker safety during routine panel cleaning
- Compliance with height safety protocols
- Reduced operational risk
360° Accessible Walkways
- Full 360-degree accessible walkways
- Ease of inspection, servicing, and future upgrades
This thoughtful planning allows:
- Efficient troubleshooting
- Faster maintenance cycles
- Minimal downtime
Energy Performance & Sustainability Impact
- Installed Capacity: 200 kWp
- Estimated Daily Generation: ~800 units per day
The plant significantly contributes to:
- Reduced grid dependency
- Lower operational electricity costs
- Decreased carbon footprint
- Sustainable energy integration within critical research infrastructure
