1000 kW
Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Shrine Board, Katra
Katra, Jammu & Kashmir
A 1 MW rooftop plant along the pilgrim track to the holy shrine, with design capability vetted and approved by IIT Jammu. The plant is split into 10 clusters of about 100 kW, each with three sub-clusters for high redundancy, and power is evacuated at 9 existing transformers.
Challenges we engineered around
- S-curve track: panels face different directions and tilts
- Shadows from trees, poles and adjoining roofs
- 2,000+ panels spread over 8 km
- Custom frames to suit the shed structures
- Landslides and extreme mountain weather
- Strict safety around live LT lines
- Monkey menace around cables and modules
- Net metering with separate generation and consumption points
