The solar photo-voltaic (PV) panels are German-made and supplied by Topsun Energy Ltd based in Mehsana. The project has six inverters of 20 kW and one of 5kW.
The project utilises the poly crystalline solar cell technology. It has sourced A-grade solar cells from Solartech, Taiwan and the inverters are of KACO, Germany.
