Malankara Plantations, Kottayam


The power consumption of the Office Complex consists of 18 tons of air-conditioning, followed by water pumps, three packing machines, IT/networking and lightings

Although the Complex was connected to grid, it suffered from frequent blackouts due to power shortages on the electrical grid. This forced the company to relay on increased diesel generator operations.

The plantation located in a tropical region where temperatures ranged from 28°C to 32°C. 90% of the energy load occurred during the day, and the tariff cost of electricity projected to increase by 6.5% in addition to the cost of diesel fuel which stood to increase 50% over the past five years.


Proposed RE Solution

In order to reduce the increasing cost of both diesel generators and grid as well as mitigate its carbon footprint, the Management sought the expertise of TS to explore the possibilities of implementing Renewable Energy as an alternative option.

TS undertook a detailed survey of the site and successfully implemented a 25kW Off-Grid SPV Power Plant which powered all the Energy requirements of the Office Complex, including 18 tons of Air-conditioning, Computers, printers, lightings, fans, ventilation, office equipment, water pumps and packing machines.

Array Capacity : 25 kW

Inverter: 27 kW

Battery Bank: 2040 Ah @ 48V


SPV System Components

The Main components of 25kW system consisted of

  • Solar Modules
  • Mounting Structure
  • OutBack GVX inverters
  • FLEXmaxCharge Controllers
  • 2 MATE3 communication devices
  • Battery Bank

Performance

The successful implementation of the project by TS turned the Heritage Building Complex of Malanakara Plantations into the First Net Zero Office Complex of India as it was disconnected from the Gird and functioned Off-Grid wholly on its own self?generated Solar Power. 

Array Capacity : 25 kW
Inverter : 27 kW
Battery Bank : 2040 Ah @ 48V
