About the plant: Tata Power Solar, India’s largest integrated company, collaborated with Dell International Services India Pvt Ltd. to build India’s largest vertical solar farm. Conceptualized as part of the ‘Dell Go Green’ initiative, this 45 m tall structure is setup over Dell’s Bengaluru Campus. This novel concept is a significant milestone in urban energy management as well as space utilization in urban cities.
Innovation and solution: This 120 kW project is a south-facing vertical solar farm integrated on the building without compromising the aesthetic. Tata Power Solar customized the plant in such a way that the safety of the 11-storey building remains intact.
The 480 modules manufacture by Tata Power were meticulously integrated using specialized scaffolding. Safety was of utmost importance along with optimized plant performance. To ensure both the structure was built with a 30-degree tilt for better maintenance. The unique design created for the building reinforces Tata Power’s unwavering dedication, innovative abilities, and engineering acumen
Impact: The solar farm is a first of its kind, 45-meterstructure that produces enough energy to light-up Dells entire cafeteria and basement parking. While this significantly reduces energy consumption, the panels itself act as solar insulation by blocking the south sun and thus reducing the power consumption of the air conditioning.
