Kattupalli Port makes history

For the first time in the history of the Indian port industry,

Kattupalli Port has announced that it has utilised the breakwater rock area for the installation of an on-grid solar generation plant, with an installed capacity of 15KWp.

The solar plant will generate around 20 MWH (Megawatt Hour) and avoid carbone mission of 16.4 tCO2 (Total Carbon Dioxide) per year.

It has about 34 number of 450 watts capacity solar modules, each designed with mono PERC technology, which requires lesser area for installation. These solarm odules fitted on elevated cantilever structure are designed to withstand adverse

weather conditions and windstorms, a Port spokesperson said.

There were many challenges in installing solar modules near a break water location. Solar modules and structures have a high impact of wind and corrosion due to thes ea shore environment.
