Utility

As the operator of the first utility scale solar power plant in India, we have been able to develop and improve on our operational expertise with each successive project to enhance output per watt. We have an advanced tracking system that allows us to manually track the sun’s seasonality by adjusting module angles multiple times per year specific to the location, thus increasing the power yield at lower costs. Further, we operate a National Operating Control Center, or NOCC, that allows us to monitor project performance in real-time and allows us to respond rapidly to potential generation anomalies. Feedback from our operating projects also serves to further enhance our project designs, resulting in enhancements for current and new plants and further reductions to our levelized cost of energy.

Our integrated business model also increases capital efficiency. We are able to offset project equity requirements through economic benefits generated by our EPC and O&M businesses. Coupled with our asset financing strategy we are able to optimize the overall cost of capital leading to enhanced economics for our customers and shareholders. To enable rapid operation of our projects, we use short term credit facilities that are refinanced with long term project finance facilities. Our strong track record and relationships with local banks offer us significant advantages when it comes to posting capital for bids.
