Enphase Energy, Ornate Solar Commission InRoof Solar Project in Bareilly

Microinverter specialist Enphase Energy in partnership with Ornate Solar commissioned a 745 kW InRoof solar system at the B.L. Agro facility in Bareilly, Uttar Pradesh (UP).
 
The InRoof solar system, which spreads over an area of 45,000 square feet, has been designed, engineered, and manufactured by Ornate Solar and powered by Enphase Energy IQ7 Microinverters that provide high production, enhanced reliability, and leading intelligence.
 
The company said in a statement that the solar installation in Bareilly, UP is the first of its kind with a massive scale of 1,638 panels.
 
With burst mode technology, the IQ7 Microinverters can produce more electricity at dawn and dusk, and in low-light conditions for a longer solar day. Enphase also offers a complete panel-level monitoring of the InRoof system. With the Enphase AppTM, B.L. Agro can real time monitor electricity production anytime, anywhere.
 
Commenting on the development, Sunil Thamaran, VP, HR and MD at Enphase Energy India, said “with Ornate, we are building a safe and aesthetically unique solar installation for B.L. Agro. B.L. Agro is a brand that understands the benefits of solar and acknowledges the significance of safety and quality for truly building sustainability in the long run. This Enphase-Ornate-B.L. Agro partnership is a distinguished example of technology paving the way for a green future.”
 
The InRoof system is a unique structural solution that can integrate panels of any shape and size to replace the conventional metal roofs.
 
The solar roof systems have been designed with exclusive architecture and can accommodate up to an additional 26 per cent more solar panels than conventional roof-mounted solar systems.
 
They also generate over 4-8 per cent more energy because of free air circulation which lowers module back sheet temperatures by up to 15 degrees Celsius.
 
“Ornate InRoof is a first-of-its-kind PV integrated system that serves as a primary roof and eliminates the need for traditionally used sheet roofing. The InRoof is fully customizable and compatible with all types of solar modules. Also, we are excited to partner with Enphase to power a reputed brand like B.L. Agro,” said Ornate Solar, Director, Aditya Goel.
 
“Installing a solar energy management system at our production facility is a long-term investment in B.L. Agro's sustainability efforts. We need the most efficient structure and best in class technology to power our solar installation in Bareilly. With Ornate Solar’s uniquely designed InRoof system and Enphase Energy’s advanced microinverter technology, safety and durability of our solar system is no longer a concern,” said Ashish Khandelwal, MD, B.L.
