Project Overview: Darjeeling Automobiles, Siliguri, has embraced sustainable energy solutions with the installation of an 18kW solar power system. This initiative was undertaken in collaboration with SolarLogix, a TATA Power Solar Authorized EPC Channel Partner, to harness clean and renewable solar energy.
Location: Situated in Siliguri, West Bengal, Darjeeling Automobiles serves as a prominent showroom for automobiles, committed to environmental responsibility and sustainable practices.
Solar Generation and Savings: The installed solar system generates approximately 64.08 units of solar energy per day, resulting in significant annual savings amounting to Rs. 198,808.2. This substantial reduction in utility expenses underscores the financial viability of the solar investment.
Environmental Impact: By adopting solar energy, Darjeeling Automobiles has contributed to a substantial reduction in carbon emissions. The system’s CO2 offset of 373.3596 metric tons is equivalent to preserving 438.3144 acres of forest annually. Moreover, the avoidance of 185.1642 metric tons of coal burning is akin to planting 6178.6548 trees, further enhancing the environmental footprint of the establishment. Additionally, the solar installation has resulted in the avoidance of 159,243.8238 liters of petrol consumption, equivalent to covering 1,468,093.8654 kilometers by conventional vehicles.
Solar Installation Details: The solar panels are strategically installed on a GI Sheet Roof Structure, optimizing space utilization and ensuring long-term durability and efficiency.
Financial Performance: With a return on investment (ROI) of 22.1%, the solar project at Darjeeling Automobiles offers attractive financial returns. The payback period of approximately 4.52488687782805 years underscores the feasibility and economic viability of transitioning to solar energy.
