Madras Radiators & Pressings Ltd
Overview
Madras Radiators & Pressings Ltd, a Coimbatore-based specialist in sheet-metal fabrication for automotive and industrial parts, has installed a 100 kW AC / 100 kW DC rooftop solar system using SolarEdge inverter and Goldi 545 Wp panels to reduce energy costs and carbon emissions.
Execution
Madras Radiators & Pressings is operating multiple facilities around Coimbatore, decided to add solar generation to cut daytime energy draw from the grid. They set up the system with a SolarEdge inverter paired with high-power Goldi 545 Wp panels, aligning the arrays on factory rooftops to get maximum sun. A real-time monitoring dashboard was brought in so the operations team can track output, spot under-performance, and ensure maintenance is proactive.
Result
Monthly Electricity Cost Reduction: The solar system contributes a part of daytime power needs, helping Madras Radiators cut electricity bills by around 12-15%.
CO₂ Emission Savings: Annually the system is estimated to prevent about 110-130 tonnes of CO₂ emissions, based on typical solar generation in Coimbatore and grid emission factors.
Monitoring: The facility uses live performance monitoring to keep the system efficient, quickly identifying if any panel/string underperforms (due to dust, shade, or technical issue).
Improved Asset and Brand Value: The solar installation not only lowers operating costs over the long run, but also boosts Madras Radiators’ profile as a manufacturer that invests in sustainable practices—making its facility more valuable and attractive to partners who care about environmental responsibility.
