Sustainability
The case for solar is, increasingly, the case for arithmetic.
The numbers below describe the annual impact of our solar generation. For the broader case for renewable energy, see Why Renewable Energy.
Annual impact
12 Million+units
Clean electricity generated annually
~9,800tonnes
CO₂ emissions avoided per year
~4,50,000trees
Equivalent in trees planted
~2,100vehicles
Passenger vehicles removed from the road annually
~10,000households
Indian households powered annually
~4,000tonnes
Coal consumption avoided every year
Carbon
~9,800 tonnes of CO₂ avoided annually.
Avoided emissions are computed against the average Karnataka grid emission factor (~0.82 kg CO₂/kWh), applied to the projected annual generation of ~12 million units.
Resource use
Zero fuel dependency, minimal water use across the asset's life.
Solar PV requires no combustion fuel, and water is used only for periodic panel cleaning — a small fraction of conventional thermal generation’s consumption.
Local impact
Skilled construction and operations work in rural Karnataka.
Sites generate skilled construction work for 9–12 months and long-term rural employment.
