NTPC Ltd.

In a bid to meet the energy requirement of its offices, NTPC is focusing on installing rooftop solar PV systems at available roof areas at power stations. In this regard, the company has commissioned a 110 kWp rooftop solar plant at its engineering office complex. The plant is expected to generate 1,70,000 kWh of energy annually and lead to carbondioxide reduction to the extent of 163 tonnes a year.

This is the first model solar rooftop project by NETRA, the R&D wing of NTPC, with features such as remote and string monitoring and seasonal tilt for continuous monitoring and performance studies.

NTPC is the largest power generating company in the country. It has also diversified into hydro power, coal mining, power equipment manufacturing, oil & gas exploration, power trading & distribution.
