Waaree Energies Limited has secured a contract to supply 445 MW of its 540/545Wp dual glass bifacial solar modules for a major solar project in Bikaner, Rajasthan. Deliveries of these modules are scheduled from May to August 2024.
The initiative aims to harness solar power to foster economic development and create jobs in the region. By using advanced bifacial technology, these modules can capture sunlight on both sides, enhancing efficiency and energy yield, which is particularly advantageous in Rajasthan's high-sunlight conditions.
Hitesh Doshi, Chairman & Managing Director of Waaree Energies Limited, stated, "Our collaboration with Statkraft India is a crucial step towards advancing India's renewable energy agenda." He also highlighted that this project is not just about energy production but also about integrating sustainable practices into the local economy, supporting long-term environmental goals.
The deployment of Waaree's bifacial modules is anticipated to significantly boost the area's renewable energy output, cut down carbon emissions, and support environmental sustainability. This project aligns with India's commitment to achieving 450 GW of renewable energy capacity by 2030, as part of its National Solar Mission.
Furthermore, the Bikaner project is expected to generate substantial local employment, from the installation phase through to ongoing maintenance, providing a much-needed economic boost to the region. The project also serves as a model for future large-scale solar developments in India, showcasing the viability and benefits of cutting-edge solar technologies.
Overall, this partnership between Waaree Energies and Statkraft India exemplifies a strategic move towards sustainable growth, energy security, and a cleaner, greener future for India.
