Assam Rifles uses Solar powerto light up remote locations
Su-Kam Power Systems Limited has installedover 1.3 MW of Solar Power PV Systems at various North Eastern locations of Assam Rifles – Indian Army. The project was awarded to Su-Kam throughRajasthan Electronics and Instrument Limited (REIL). The project required Su-Kam to supply, install, commission and maintain off-grid solar power systems at various remote Assam rifles base locations in Manipur, Nagaland, Tripura, and Mizoram& Assam.
The Assam Rifles Project was the 1st project undertaken by Su-Kam in powering up the headquarters of the Indian Army in the North East region of the country. The lack of adequate power supply at these remote locations had increased the dependence of the Army on cumbersome sources of power back up solutions like diesel generator sets with huge dependence on non-renewable sources of fuel like diesel. Out of the 18 sites, 50 KWp solar installations have been made at each of the 10 sites with the remaining 8 sites having an installed capacity of 100 KWp each. All the plants have been installed under MNRE subsidy scheme as per Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission in India.
Su-Kam has used high quality, best-in-class solar products that include Su-Kam made Solar Inverters, Charge Controllers, Tubular Gel batteries and Advanced Remote Monitoring Software for the Assam Rifles project. All the solar power plants installed by Su-Kam for Assam Rifles are up and running successfully.
Su-Kam’s team of engineers is maintaining these sites regularly. The company’s highly advanced Remote Monitoring Software also enables the team to detect any problem in the system from a faraway location in real time. Therefore, in case of any breakdown in the system, Su-Kam’s highly efficient & dedicated service team is able to attend to the complaint within 48 hrs even in remote sites.
In addition to the above, Su-Kam had also taken initiatives in employing local personnel at these sites and trained them in installation, commissioning and upkeep of the solar power plants. The trained personnel have also been posted at these areas to maintain the set up in these sites now.
