Waaree Energies Ltd. commissioned a 295.68 MWp DC / 211.2 MW AC ground-mounted solar power plant for ArcelorMittal in the vicinity of Kurnool, Andhra Pradesh. Covering about 700 acres of rocky, rugged terrain that is not arable land, the project used 401,520 high-efficiency 550 Wp modules in a span of 8 months. Built all on sheet rock and barren wasteland, this installation achieved maximum use of the wasteland without affecting fertile lands. The project showcases Waaree's engineering expertise in delivering large-capacity, sustainable infrastructure under challenging geological conditions, further solidifying its position as a leader in utility-scale solar EPC and demonstrating its commitment to environmental responsibility.
Construction on the rugged, boulder-ridden, sheet-rock terrain with poor accessibility presented significant civil and mechanical challenges. Even shallow excavation involved controlled blasting, requiring tailored engineering procedures and specialised equipment to secure safety, accuracy, and continuity of the project.
ArcelorMittal chose Waaree for its track record of executing large-scale solar EPC on very challenging topography with speed and accuracy. Waaree's competence in tailored foundation engineering, blasting techniques within safety protocols, and stringent project delivery guaranteed success in trying circumstances.
Waaree installed a 295.68 MWp DC / 211.2 MW AC solar power plant on 700 acres of extremely challenging terrain. Confronting geological complexities, the team employed expert rock drilling and controlled blasting to develop the foundations carefully. Tailor-made engineering solutions provided structural support across uneven sheet rock. Installation employed 401,520 high-efficiency 550 Wp modules, strategically placed for maximum sun exposure and energy production. Extensive site planning helped reduce excavation and environmental impact. The highly coordinated execution, combined with strict safety measures, enabled completion in just 8 months. The utility-scale project exhibits Waaree's ability to quickly convert recalcitrant terrains into clean energy properties with no loss in structural integrity or project pace. This project sets a standard for resilient solar infrastructure in hostile environments.
The ArcelorMittal Kurnool solar project attained 295.68 MWp DC / 211.2 MW AC capacity with 401,520 high-efficiency modules spread over 700 acres of rugged, barren land. By employing specialised excavation and engineering techniques, Waaree maintained site integrity and safety. Completion within only 8 months reflects their discipline in execution, despite the geological complexity. The project converted hitherto unusable land into a clean energy giant, providing instant sustainable generation while showcasing resilience, innovation, and respect for the environment. This historic utility-scale EPC project is a testament to Waaree's vision for installing renewable infrastructure in challenging geographies without compromising quality, schedule, or safety.
Waaree RTL helped ArclelorMittal Solar create a Sustainable solar infrastructure on rugged terrain that is efficient, swift, and environmentally responsible.
