Orb Energy has installed an 800-kW rooftop solar system at Esteem Industries in Alonde, Wada, Maharashtra.
The system is set to generate over 1 million units of electricity annually, meeting approximately 80% of Esteem Industries’ daytime electricity needs and reducing carbon emissions by around 1,000 tonnes per year. The installation is expected to produce around 3,100 kWh of solar energy daily.
Esteem Industries, a surfactants and specialty chemicals manufacturer, will benefit from significant cost savings and progress toward its ESG goals through this solar initiative. Orb Energy’s comprehensive approach covers manufacturing to installation, supporting businesses in transitioning to solar power. The company also offers collateral-free loans to facilitate solar adoption.
