Hartek Group’s commercial and industrial (C&I) rooftop solar business has won a solar engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) contract from Kandhari Beverages for an 8 MW rooftop solar installation in Jammu and Kashmir.

Hartek Group’s EPC services will include designing and procuring solar modules, inverters, and associated equipment, as well as testing and project commissioning.

The company will also provide operations and maintenance services for one year.

The project is expected to produce one million units of renewable energy annually. The rooftop solar is likely to be commissioned during the current quarter.

Hartek said this is the third solar project it secured in the last two years, increasing its cumulative installation capacity to 14 MW.

Simarpreet Singh, Executive Director and CEO, Hartek Group said that the company aims to partner with industries to help meet their sustainability and net zero goals.

Hartek said it has a turnover exceeding ₹1 billion (~$11.56 million). The company offers power systems, solar solutions, power distribution products, solutions for smart cities/grids, and fuel and value-added services.

In February 2024, Hartek secured an order from SJVN Green Energy to develop, implement, and maintain a 75 MW grid-connected solar power project and a 132 kV substation in Jamui, Bihar.

Last June, Jammu and Kashmir Energy Development Agency invited bids for supplying, installing, and commissioning grid-connected rooftop solar power projects on government buildings in the state.

India installed 1.9 GW of rooftop solar capacity in the first nine months of 2024, exceeding both the annual and 9M additions of all previous years, according to Mercom India’s Q3 2024 India Rooftop Solar Market Report.

In March of 2023, Hartek won an EPC contract from SJVN Green Energy for a 15 MW floating solar project at Nangal Pond in Bilaspur, Himachal Pradesh. The scope of work includes the comprehensive operation and maintenance of the project for three years.
