Kolhapur Case Study

A 12 kW plant mounted on top of a metal foundry in Kolhapur, Maharashtra, where very heavy foundry dust accumulated on the panels. After a Solar Glass Shield coating, daily generation more than doubled and cleaning became far easier.

Effect on a solar plant facing metal foundry dust

Mounted directly on top of a metal foundry, this six-month-old plant faced very heavy dust that accumulated continuously from the foundry below, dragging panel output well below its potential.

After applying the Solar Glass Shield coating, metal-dust accumulation reduced significantly, generation was enhanced drastically, and the labour hours needed to clean the plant dropped considerably.
