SunEdison, a renewable energy development company, has completed 1 MW canal-top solar power plant project for Krishna Bhagya Jala Nigam Limited (KBJNL).
KBJNL is a Karnataka government agency responsible for creating irrigation facilities in the Krishna River basin.
Pashupathy Gopalan, President of SunEdison Asia-Pacific, said, “We have been successful in installing and commissioning canal top system on the banks of the Krishna River. It is good to see other state governments embrace this innovative use of solar technology, which was pioneered by us for the Narmada Canal Top Project in Gujarat in 2012.”
Canal-top solar system shields the canals from direct sunlight and reduces evaporation. It also operates at cooler temperatures than conventional land-based systems and generate more energy as a result.
