Pune's largest housing society rooftop solar project unveiled

Infinity Cooperative Housing Society, in partnership with SolarSquare, recently inaugurated its 400-kW rooftop solar system, Pune’s largest housing society solar project getting commissioned in a single go under PM Surya Ghar scheme. This project is also the largest-ever solar power plant for a cooperative housing society in SolarSquare’s portfolio.

This project, the first of its kind at such a scale, is set to receive a substantial central subsidy of Rs 70 lakh under the PM Surya Ghar scheme initiated by the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy. The ground-breaking solar project spans across the 8 towers of Infinity, utilising cutting-edge technology including Premier's Mono-PERC half-cut bifacial 540 Wp solar panels and SolarEdge's power optimizer-based inverter technology. It also features SolarSquare's Intelligent WindPro Mount™ cyclone-proof structures.

“With the flip of a switch at Infinity CHS, SolarSquare is illuminating the path to a cleaner, brighter future. Today, we unveil more than just a solar project; we empower the community at large with energy independence and environmental stewardship. The project is set to bring Infinity an annual electricity bill savings of over Rs. one crore and help reduce over 10,000 tonnes of carbon emissions over the lifetime,” said Nikhil Nahar, Co-founder of SolarSquare.
