The project is claimed to be the largest solar site in the country and will be connected to the power grid in the third quarter of 2023.
Arctech in a statement said: “SkyLine II is a flagship product with a peculiar edge in the Indian market.
“The first 1P (one-in-portrait) tracker designed with a pentagonal torque tube and synchronous multi-point drive mechanism enables a new possibility of designing the plant using trackers with identical pile configurations, overcoming the uncertainty faced in the early stage of plant design and construction.”
The solar tracker forayed into the Indian market in 2015 and since then it has delivered 7GW solar tracking and racking solutions to the Indian market.
