Aiming to rein in electricity expenses and strengthen long-term competitiveness, Pasupati Spinning & Weaving Mills, a textile manufacturer, installed a 2.872 MW rooftop plus ground-mounted solar project at its facility in Kala Amb, Himachal Pradesh, in June this year.

The system, executed by Solluz Energy, is expected to generate 4,020,800 kWh annually, covering approximately 22% of the mill’s yearly consumption, based on a baseline of around 50,000 kWh per day. The projected payback period is between 3.5 and 4 years.

Operating in an industry known for thin margins, Pasupati faces two dominant cost pressures: volatile polyester input prices linked to crude and consistently high power expenses. To hedge energy costs and stabilize operations, the company adopted Solluz Energy’s on-site solar solution.

The project is divided into 675.02 kW of rooftop capacity and 2,197.36 kW of ground-mounted capacity, configured as a single, integrated system.

Solluz Energy selected Trina Solar 605 Wp TOPCon modules paired with Sungrow SG-125CX inverters featuring twelve MPPTs for efficient generation and reliable performance. The mounting structures use Aluminium AA6063-T6 and HDG/Galvalume, complying with IS 2062 standards to ensure durability and safety across varying site conditions.

A key engineering challenge involved integrating the new generation into the plant’s existing electrical network. Solluz Energy conducted a detailed study to pinpoint the optimal drawal point for solar injection, enabling safe interconnection and smooth operations without disrupting the mill’s processes.

“We are proud to partner with Pasupati Spinning & Weaving Mills on their sustainability journey. This 2.87 MWp solar project is a significant step toward reducing energy costs and ensuring long-term competitiveness for the textile industry. Through detailed engineering and the right technology selection, we were able to deliver a reliable and future-ready solution that aligns with the client’s business goals as well as environmental responsibility,” said Karan Kalra, CEO at Solluz Energy.

Solluz had previously executed a 5 MW rooftop solar system for plastic recycler Ganesha Ecosphere in Telangana.

Mercom India hosts a multicity ‘C&I Clean Energy Meet’ series designed to provide commercial and industrial energy buyers with the knowledge and tools they need to adopt clean energy solutions and lower their power costs. The next C&I Clean Energy Meet will be held in Bhubaneswar on November 14, 2025.
