PROJECT OVERVIEW

350 kW β€” Jodhpur Cement Factory Solar

This 350 kW industrial rooftop solar system was installed on the RCC flat-roof production and storage blocks of a cement manufacturing facility on Jodhpur's industrial periphery. The factory was consuming 35–40 lakh units per year at JdVVNL's industrial tariff of β‚Ή8.75/unit, making it one of FGPS Solar's larger rooftop industrial projects.

Given the RCC roof structure, FGPS Solar used a ballasted aluminium mounting system with rubber isolation pads β€” no roof penetration or drilling, preserving the waterproofing membrane. PVSyst shadow simulation was carried out to optimise row spacing for Jodhpur's latitude (26.3Β°N), minimising inter-row losses while maintaining a compact layout.

Five 70 kW three-phase string inverters feed into a common 415V AC bus, which is integrated at the factory's main distribution board via a breaker panel. The system was connected to JdVVNL net metering within 55 days of application and generates power reliably even on hazy days due to the high-transmission AR-coated panel glass.
