Inverters of 1MWp manufactured by ABB India

Milestones
National Solar Mission – Launched in 2010 target of 20GW by 2022
Increased to 100 GW in - 2015
Pilot project by CAIL of 100KW PV based solar plant – March 2013
Inauguration of 12 MW power plant - Aug 2015
Technical Requirements
Solar Module(P.V.CELLS)
Power Storage Bank or Battery
Solar Power Monitoring Device
Shadow free area

Customer Review
“The experts from Bosch completed the project to the highest
standards and within the allotted time. We are extremely pleased
with the outcome,” says VJ Kurian, Managing Director of Cochin
