Solar power grid on break water comes up at Adani'sKattupalli Port
The solar plant has
about 34 numbers of 450-watt capacity solar modules
The solar plant has about 34 numbers of
450-watt capacity solar modules, each designed with mono PERC technology, which
requires less area for installation. These solar modules fitted on elevated
cantilever structure are designed to withstand adverse weather conditions and
windstorms.
Use of the
generated green energy
The green energy generated from the
on-grid solar generation plant will be used to charge the batteries of electric
vehicles, which will be deployed at the port soon, the company said in a
statement.
There were many challenges in installing
solar modules near a break water location.
Solar modules and
structures have a high impact of wind and corrosion due to the sea-shore
environment.
To overcome these challenges, the
structures have been designed on the basis of cantilever principle and the
structure materials are made up of hot-dip galvanised mild steel. The
structures can withstand up to 150 to 200 kmph of wind.
