Maximizing Solar Installed Capacity:
- Givaudan aimed to achieve a solar installed capacity close to 1 MWp using an OPEX model.
- No single area was available that could accommodate this capacity, requiring the exploration of multiple locations.
- The challenge was to maximize the installed capacity while navigating various site constraints.
Comprehensive Installation Approach:
- To maximize solar capacity, Enerparc explored various installation locations, including:
- Rooftop sheet roofs
- Rooftop concrete roofs
- Ground-mounted installations
- Carport installations
- Addressed challenges related to shading from objects on the rooftop during detailed engineering, implementing solutions to mitigate their impact.
- Successfully achieved a total capacity of 716 kW through a strategic combination of different installation types.
- Overcame site-specific challenges during carport installation by making necessary adjustments, and completing the project within the designated timeline.
Achieving Customer Expectations:
- Successfully met the required installed capacity and corresponding energy generation.
- Projected annual energy generation: 10,31,040 kWh.
- Estimated CO2 emissions offset: 1,289 kg/year.
- Tree Plantation Equivalent: Offset emissions equivalent to 1,344 number of trees planted annually.
- Givaudan benefits from the committed energy output from the solar power plant under the OPEX model.
- Optimized energy generation through innovative installation methods and site selections.
- Maintained overall project costs within the committed figures, ensuring customer satisfaction and trust.
