Second largest PV facility receives LEED Gold certification

The Premier Energies photovoltaic facility at Electronic City in Telangana is a state-of-the-art facility for manufacturing solar modules and solar cells. This is the second largest facility in India and the largest in South India. This facility is spread over 25 acre with 250,000 sq ft of manufacturing area including a 80,000 sq ft clean room and a host of utilities including a gas, chemical and water treatment plant.

This facility has become the first solar cell and module manufacturing facility in India to be awarded the LEED Gold certification. Sudhir Reddy, Director, Premier Energies, tells CWDB more.

During construction

The construction of this plant had started just before COVID-19 in 2020 鈥� it finished in 2021. This was the most difficult period and quite a challenge.

The entire construction is based on the PEB construction technique. The structure has been optimised for natural air ventilation and designed to be highly water and energy-efficient and minimise the industrial waste generated. Additionally, we identified recyclers and industries that use construction waste in their projects. We worked with recyclers to dispose of cement bags for alternate use. Packing material was given to specific paper and cardboard recyclers.

Sustainable interventions

Solar energy is one of the cleanest energy options available and, thus, a plant manufacturing solar panels should adhere to the best sustainable practices. With this in mind, Premier embarked on creating a sustainable and environment-friendly industrial setup. The plant consumes roughly about 750 kld water and is equipped with a zero liquid discharge system that provides 90 per cent recovery. We have a 5,000 kl rainwater storage tank that is used to store rainwater and use it in place of raw water from the municipality.
