Stimulating the future of solar energy with its lightning-fast technology innovation: Sova Solar Limited
Subrata Mukherjee
When Paris talks were drawn to close with an agreement signed by the countries to curb down their emissions so as to contain the global temperature rise to Co2, maturing the renewable energy resources has come under the spotlight with solar energy marking its entrance as the loftiest on the global Power Industry's portfolio.
The concerns towards a green and renewable energy source have led to the widespread acceptance of Solar Energy and development of the solar technology on a much larger scale. About 70% of India's electricity generation capacity comes from fossil fuel.
India is mainly dependent on fossil fuel imports to meet its energy demands. India's alarming fossil fuel imports to meet the soaring energy has created the demand for a sustainable shift towards the renewable energy resources to achieve independence from expensive energy providers.
Earth's breathing things bank on a powerhouse positioned 93 million miles away, the sun. Till date, humans have been fortunate to capture some of the sun's energy that falls to earth, converting it into usable power for a variety of practical uses.
Solar panel technology has also come a long way with increased efficiency and cost-effectiveness. India's solar power sector too, has ventured a good start in 2018 driven by state, central and private players committed to renewable energy production and increasing the percentage of clean and renewable energy in country's power portfolio.
Understanding the Global Demand for a Green Energy Source and a responsibility towards the future, Sova Solar Ltd. (formerly called Sova Power Limited) ventured out its journey in 2008 with the manufacturing of Cost-effective High quality solar Photovoltaic products for both Grid Connected & off- Grid Power Products like Solar Pumps, Solar Street Light etc.
"It is our duty to make people aware of the present scenario and encourage them to shift the focus to the renewable sector. If we want a green world, making it livable for many more days to come, solar or renewable is the final hope for us."
Since its inception, Sova has been constantly fulfilling its vision of producing cost-effective Clean & Green Power executed at prestigious projects in different parts of the country.
With its focus on developing Silicone Crystalline-based products using lightning-fast technological innovation and high-quality raw materials, Sova Solar Limited has been successfully catered to the global demand for Green Renewable Source of Energy across the Globe since its inception in 2008.
Sova's robust state-of-the-art manufacturing unit is located at Durgapur, West Bengal, India, where the firm commenced the early production of Crystalline Solar Photovoltaic Module in the financial year 2009-10. The present installed capacity of PV Modules nestles the mark of 100 MW per year which would be enhanced up to 200 MW per Year soon.
Gaining crucial technological assistance and guidance from its two partners, M/s. SPIRE CORPORATION, BEDFORD USA and M/S. TEAM TECHNIK, Germany, Sova has created a vigorous product portfolio holding a wide range of products from 3 Wp to 335Wp.
Sova's Photovoltaic modules are produced with an efficiency up to 17% with positive tolerance complying to global industrial standards. The organization has received ISO 9001:2008 for Quality Management System and ISO1 4001:2004 for Environmental Management System.
