The Indian textile industry, a cornerstone of the nation’s economy, is taking a significant leap towards a greener future. A prominent textile manufacturer in Coimbatore has recently installed a solar power plant featuring LONGi’s high-efficiency Hi-MO 5 solar modules. The project, executed by the esteemed EPC firm Viridis Engineering, is already yielding impressive results, generating substantial amounts of clean energy and delivering significant cost savings.
Commissioned in two phases—1 MW in May 2023 and 750 kW in February 2024—the plant boasts a remarkable daily generation capacity of 6 units. This translates to an annual saving of ₹1.9 crore on electricity bills for the textile manufacturer. By securing power for the plant’s own use and ensuring steady facility operation, the reduction in electricity bills significantly lowers monthly operational costs.
Hi-MO 5’s standout features—high power output, low degradation, and exceptional durability—make it a game-changing energy-saving solution for numerous enterprises, benefiting customers and boosting local economies. Viridis Engineering, a trusted name in the solar EPC (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction) space, played a pivotal role in bringing this project to life. Their expertise in project design, installation, and commissioning ensured a smooth and efficient process, allowing the textile manufacturer to reap the benefits of solar power swiftly.
The integration of solar technology in the textile industry represents not only a technological revolution but also a steadfast commitment to the earth’s ecology. Driven by the mission “To make the best of solar energy to build a green world,” LONGi is poised to steer energy-intensive and high-pollution industries, such as textile manufacturing, towards a greener and more sustainable future with its cutting-edge photovoltaic technology.
As the textile industry continues to embrace sustainable practices, the adoption of solar power stands as a testament to its dedication to reducing environmental impact while maintaining economic viability. This project serves as an inspiring model for other industries aiming to transition to renewable energy sources and achieve long-term sustainability.
