Overview

We at SunShell Powers are committed to providing our clients with the high- quality products that meet their needs. A switch from nonrenewable energy sources to solar power also results in reduced carbon dioxide emissions for the planet. Ghoksadanga College will be able to meet its energy needs with a 60 KW grid-connected solar power plant.

 

Our Solution

After assessing their energy needs, we suggested a 60kWp solar rooftop power plant that is grid-connected with a net metering facility. It has 182 Numbers of 72 cells 330Wp made of polycrystalline solar panels. The inverter used is an ABB model of 60kWp.
