Welspun Energy promotes Indian solar technologies

Welspun Energy has partnered with GERMI to study solar technologies.

A lab at GERMI (Gujarat Energy Research & Management Institute) will be set up to determine technological performance in Indian terrain and climatic conditions.

The MoU was signed with Pandit Deendayal Petroleum University.

Results of these studies can greatly help IPPs like Welspun Energy in improving performance of their solar power projects.

The organisation will also be working closely with students. Welspun Energy will be designing & offering internship programs to students of PDPU’s Solar Program. Students participating in this internship program will be able to witness the entire project development cycle of a clean energy power plant. Skilled manpower in this field is scarce and through such initiatives the organisation will be able to help students transform into specialised resources.

Vineet Mittal, Co-Founder & Managing Director Welspun Energy stated: “Solar energy industry in India is still young, with some amount of research carried out in India for standardisation & technology selection. However, we need to be ready for the next phase of growth and that calls for a greater focus on research and building relevant skill sets in our young. As an extension to society, we want to support leading institutions in India and foster indigenous capability.”

A student exchange programme has also been initiated by Welspun with the Singapore Managment Univesity.

Simultaneously, Welspun Energy has also committed to making PDPU a green energy institute by commissioning a 25kW rooftop solar system.
