Andhra Pradesh: Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL) on Thursday announced the commissioning of India's largest floating solar photovoltaic plant in Andhra Pradesh. "BHEL has commissioned India's largest floating solar PV plant," the company said in a statement. Notably, with its unique state-of-the-art design, this project is an engineering marvel, created by BHEL." BHEL said its scope of work in the project includes design, engineering, procurement and construction of solar projects, executed by the company's recently formed Solar Business Division.

The project will help in saving valuable land resources and conserve water by reducing evaporation, it said. It further said that this complex module array is designed to withstand gusts of up to 180 km/h for the first time in India. Considering the coastal location of the project site, which leads to severe corrosion, all platform structures and other equipment have been made corrosion resistant.

The engineering firm is a leading EPC player in the solar industry in India with an overall portfolio of over 1.2 GW. Its portfolio of floating solar PV projects is also one of the largest in the country, with over 45 MW of projects in operation and about 107 MW under execution. The company provides EPC solutions for both grid-interactive and off-grid, ground-mounted, rooftop, floating and canal top solar plants.
