The solar power project appointed by TATA power solar has a total capacity of 6.063 MWp and is spread out across 34 roofing system tops within the refinery properties. Handling all of it are GoodWe inverters, that were selected for the function. MRPL's project site processes 15 MTPA (million tonnes per annum) of oil and chemicals at its refinery. The company is a Category 1 Miniratna Central Public Sector Enterprise (CPSE) under the Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Gas.

The project had its share of challenges as the refinery area has substantial properties including 34+ buildings. There is no interior transportation readily available for travelling from one end to one more and third party automobiles are not allowed. Treatment such a huge location without transport was a significant obstacle and stood for a considerable obstacle.

There are likewise specified procedures and stringent standards for going into the premise and each plant requires a various work permit.

The distance of chemical gases in several of the locations also presented a challenge as the inverters could be at a threat of rusting due to chain reactions that can take place in a gaseous setting. Featuring 150% DC oversizing and 115% air conditioning overwhelming proportion, this 6MW solar project with GoodWe MT G2 series is running efficiently and efficiently. GoodWe thinks that the long-lasting returns and productivity will reinforce the faith of company owner for solar energy.

GoodWe set up 95 inverters of 50K-MT G2 and 60K-MT G2 model and these solar plants create more than 24,000 units each day amounting to greater than 8.8 million units per annum.

The MT Series is equipped with IP66 enclosures, which indicates the inverter is safeguarded from total dirt access and high pressure water jets from any kind of instructions. The C5 corrosion class additionally secures the inverters from high humidity and unfavorable atmospheric conditions.

For MRPL, the solar plant becomes part of its own dedication to lasting growth with a focus on decrease in carbon emissions and greater renewable energy generation. In doing this it joins a raising variety of firms throughout India that are shifting to solar energy to lower their overall carbon footprint.
