PRESS RELEASE

 

TATA POWER LAUNCHES RS 1.5 LAKH SOLAR INVERTOR

 

It can provide uninterrupted power supply for eight hours

 

Tata Power Solar today launched a solar invertor for retail consumers, which can provide uninterrupted power supply for eight hours. It is designed to light-up devices like lights, fans and television.


The total set-up of the solar panels, battery and the invertor would cost between Rs 1.4-1.5 lakh. It is targeting cities and towns with regular load shedding. Named Tata Dynamo, the set-up works like a regular inverter, but has solar as its primary source of power.


“The system charges itself while powering all the connected appliances through free solar energy and when sunlight is unavailable it automatically shifts to regular electricity. Depending on the weather conditions, the system can provide back-up of 4 to 8 hours,” said Tata Power, in its press release.


Tata Power Solar claims that in an area which has three to four hours of load shedding, can recover the expense of the invertor, in less than 18 months. This is in comparison to running a diesel generator. The life expectancy of the instrument is around eight to ten years. Further, the product comes with a 30% subsidy from the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy.


“Tata Dynamo is a great way to switch to solar. It will help both urban and rural middle class manage power cuts better while reducing their power bills substantially,” said Ajay Goel, chief executive officer of Tata Power Solar.

 

TATA POWER LAUNCHES SOLAR POWER INVERTER

 

Tata Power Solar has launched a new 1 KVA solar power pack system to its solar product line-up, called TATA Dynamo. The power pack, a combination of solar PV panels, inverter and battery, will help consumers enjoy uninterrupted power supply for up to 8 hours, at an affordable cost.

 

In a statement here, the company said TATA Dynamo works like a regular inverter, but has solar as its primary source of power.

 

The intelligent system charges itself while powering all the connected appliances through free solar energy and when sunlight is unavailable, it automatically shifts to regular electricity.

 

Depending on the weather conditions, the system can provide back-up of 4 to 8 hours to power appliances like LED/CFL lights, fans, televisions, etc. The system has been designed for simple and faster installation with maintenance free operation.

 

Commenting on the development, Ajay Goel, CEO, Tata Power Solar said the new product was a great way to switch to solar as it will help both urban and rural middle class manage power cuts better while reducing their power bills substantially.

TATA POWER ADOPTS KADACHIMETH AND AIMS TO TRANSFORM IT INTO A MODEL VILLAGE BY 2017

 

India has about 7 lakh villages, of which thousands are bereft of electricity, infrastructure and sound education facilities. Understanding the importance of developing villages to fast-track India's growth story, Tata Power today announced that the company aims to transform Kadachimeth, a tribal village in the Thane District of Maharashtra, into a model village by 2017. In line with the Independence Day speech of Hon' Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi on the need for developing model villages to build a stronger India, the Company has pledged to partner with the community of Kadachimeth, and work towards improving their quality of life.

 

With more than 90 per cent of adivasi (tribal) population, the village is deprived of basic amenities and the standard of living is poor. In the next 3 years, the Company plans to engage in developing it into a clean and green village with good roads, good education facilities, medical outreach, and solid infrastructure so that the village becomes a role-model for the neighboring villages to emulate. Tata Power has assigned a team of employees to execute the development work, who will further be supported by the by time and talent other employee volunteers so as to harness the energy of the entire Tata Power family through a spirit of 'Shramdaan'.

Commenting on this development, Mr. Anil Sardana, CEO and Managing Director -Tata Power stated, "Our Hon'ble Prime Minister gave a call to each MP to adopt a village. At Tata Power, we are pursuing the legacy of our founder, Mr. Jamshetji Tata who had stated that in a free enterprise, community is not just a stakeholder but in fact the very purpose of its existence. With this philosophy, we will work towards building and developing Kadachimeth as a model village to bring about social upliftment and inclusive development of the community. We will provide full support to our team, and will help them transform Kadachimeth as the most aspired village of neighbourhood, where as today it is sadly one of the most deprived one".

 

Kadachimeth village is not a part of Tata Power's area of operations, but has been selected by the Company in the true spirit of Corporate Social Responsibility to benefit the community at large. The Company has communicated the details of the selected village to the Collector, Member of Legislative Assembly and Member of Parliament of the area, so that it's not duplicated under the announced scheme. Similarly, Tata Power aspires to adopt one village in each area of operation and develop it into a model village in next 3 years'. These role-model villages would become the proof-of-concept for the other villages to emulate.

 

TATA POWER SOLAR AND BRITISH GAS PARTNER TO SOLARIZE TOYOTA MANUFACTURING UK

 

Tata Power Solar (TPS), and British Gas, Britain’s largest energy supplier, announced the commissioning of a 3,475,000 kWh commercial solar PV installation for Toyota Motor Manufacturing (UK) Limited. 

 

 The installation, which was officially switched on 21st August ’14 at Toyota Manufacturing UK’s engine production centre at Deeside in North Wales, will feed directly into Toyota UK’s electrical distribution network used to power manufacturing operations at the site, home to European production of Toyota petrol and hybrid petrol engines.

The solar plant is set to significantly reduce the site’s carbon emissions and has the potential to generate enough electricity to produce up to 22,500 engines a year.

 

Ajay Goel, CEO, Tata Power Solar said, “Our partnership with British Gas is the beginning of a great working relationship and we see huge potential in the UK & Europe market for solar. Our 25 year history making quality modules and exporting them globally makes us the most compelling choice in the market today. This project is a testimony to our products’ high quality and global competitiveness.”

 

Almost 13,000 multi-crystalline panels, supplied by Tata Power Solar, were manufactured in their Bangalore, India plant. It has the potential to produce 3,475,000 kWh of electricity, reducing the Toyota plant’s CO2 emissions by over 1,800 tonnes a year. That is equivalent to the combined weight of more than 1,260 Toyota Auris hatchbacks.

 

Jim Crosbie, TMUK Deeside Plant Director, Toyota Manufacturing UK, said: “The new solar array demonstrates that as much as Toyota is famous for building lower carbon vehicles, we are just as focused on developing greener production methods and nurturing awareness of environmental issues among our members, and our local communities. Not only will the solar array reduce our carbon footprint, it will also demonstrate to the wider Welsh and UK manufacturing sector the tangible benefits renewable energy can deliver.”

 

 Speaking about the project Gab Barbaro, Managing Director, British Gas Business Services, said: “We are delighted to partner with Tata Power Solar to jointly deliver this project for Toyota.”

 

 “This project shows that solar is a viable energy solution for companies operating in the heavy industry sector.”

 

 “At British Gas, we’re committed to offering businesses innovative renewable technology that will deliver a reliable supply of energy, long-term financial returns and significant carbon reduction.”

 

 Tata Power Solar, erstwhile known as Tata BP Solar, is one of the very few companies globally to have a long operating history of 25 years, which also corresponds to the operational life of its solar modules. TPS has till date exported over 600 MW of modules globally. TPS’ modules are rated as Tier 1 in Bankability by GTM Research, a globally recognized PV market research firm.

 

TATA POWER SOLAR TO SUPPLY ONE LAKH SOLAR PANELS TO ACME'S 20 MW PROJECT IN RAJASTHAN

 

CHENNAI: Tata Power Solar, a manufacturer of solar modules, has won an order to supply 20 megawatt (MW) of solar modules for a project by ACME Solar in Rajasthan.


The project is under the DCR (domestic content requirement) segment of the Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission (JNNSM) phase-2 batch-1, the 1,00,000 modules, constituting 60,00,000 cells, needed for the project will be manufactured at the company's manufacturing facility in Bangalore, a statement from the company said.

ACME Solar is a three-way joint venture between ACME, EDF Energies Nouvelles (EDF EN), the renewable energy arm of French state-run electricity utility Electricite de France S.A., and Luxembourg-based natural resources saving group EREN.

 

Tata Power Solar's Bangalore facility now has 200MW module and 180 MW cell production capacities, and the company is planning a 60% increase in their module manufacturing capacity.


Under the DCR policy of MNRE for the phase-2 of JNNSM, a total of 375 MW of solar power plants have to be built using domestically produced cells and modules. The initiative is aimed at promoting manufacturing in the country.

 

TATA POWER SOLAR SUCCESSFULLY COMMISSIONS PHASE II OF SOLAR POWER PROJECT FOR THE CHENNAI SILKS GROUP; TAKES THEIR TOTAL CAPACITY TO 7.2 MW

 

Bangalore, India; 25th September 2014:  Tata Power Solar, India’s largest integrated solar player, has successfully executed five different solar power projects for The Chennai Silks group, constituting a total of 5.2 MW solar power plant. Coupled with the 2 MW solar plant commissioned last year by Tata Power Solar, the total installed solar power capacity of the group comes to 7.2 MW.
