In times when solar project developers are missing deadlines set by the government utilities for project commissioning and risking the loss of deposits and lower PPA tariffs, Ilios Power, a Hyderabad based EPC, is setting records by completing solar projects in minimal time.
Ilios Power is a byname for high-quality and timely execution of solar power plants. Earlier, in 2016, Ilios Power completed a 12 MWp solar power project for Hyderabad based Cybercity Builders and Developers in a record span of 60 days.Ilios was appreciated for focussing all its resources to finish the project before its Dec-31 st deadline to save the PPA with the Telangana Govt. from being canceled.
Now, Ilios has gone a step further and has commissioned a 3 MWp solar project for Sagitaur Ventures in just 23 days. The project was won by Sagitaur Ventures under the Karnataka Farmers’ Scheme. The project saw the use of single-axis trackers and Ilios Power has been in the forefront to make single axis tracker a viable option even in projects where the PPA is not very lucrative. In order to ensure timely completion of the project, Ilios power was not ready to compromise on quality. The project saw the use of best of breed solar modules from REC and inverters from ABB.
Speaking on this, Ilios CEO Naveen Vunnam says ” We thank Sagitaur in trusting us. In times when India is achieving 10GW a year, with average project size above 100MWs each, it has become a challenge to ensure the same quality of supply and services to all scales of projects be it small or big. ILIOS has been ensuring that there is the same reliability, quality, and confidence in services rendered to all scales of projects. Many times component suppliers are flooded by orders and eventually compromise in quality and delivery timelines for the smaller scale projects. To ensure there is no lapse in quality to lower scale projects is ILIOS’s prime responsibility.”
Sagitaur Ventures Chairman Mr. B.V Naidu has been quoted saying that “It was an incredible task achieved with astute project management and monitoring to ensure utmost quality is maintained while meeting the deadlines. In times of falling power tariffs, generation of each day counts and so making fast-track commissioning is an inalienable need”.
ILIOS Power provides end to end solutions for solar power developers – from bidding to the commissioning of solar power plants, with their engagement extending to a lifetime support via their Operations and Maintenance services.Additionally, ILIOS Power has developed proprietary software for data acquisition and plant performance monitoring through advanced data analytics and alert systems.
In Over 60 MWs of solar installations with 100% in-house engineering and construction teams, CEO Vunnam says that EPC at ILIOS stands for Ease of Execution, Transparent Pricing & Confidence in Quality. ILIOS has been trusted by the best like Sagitaur Ventures, My Home Group, DLF, SBI, LV Prasad Eye Institute, Cybercity Builders and Developers, Sumeru Energy, Bora Agro foods to name a few.
Solar Mango hopes that Ilios pursues its solar agenda with continued vigor and passion. All the best to the ILIOS team.
