In February 2017, Tata Power Solar became the first Indian company to ship over 1 GW solar modules worldwide.[3] The company's manufacturing unit in Bangalore has a production capacity of 400 MW of modules and 300 MW of cells.[4]

History

Tata Power and BP Solar established Tata BP Solar, a joint venture company, in 1989.[5] The company began commercial operations in 1991 by establishing its first manufacturing unit with a production capacity of 3 MW.[5][6]

BP Solar was closed on 21 December 2011, when BP announced its departure from the solar energy business.[7] On 30 August 2012, Tata BP Solar India Limited was renamed as Tata Power Solar Systems Limited and became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Tata Group.[5][8]

In August 2016, Tata Power Solar commissioned a 100 MW solar project at the NP Kunta Ultra Mega Solar Power Project in Anantapur, Andhra Pradesh. This was the largest solar project commissioned using domestically manufactured solar cells and modules at the time.[9]

Rooftop

Tata Power Solar is one of the largest solar rooftop EPC player in India with a market share of 5.6%.[10] The company completed the world's largest solar rooftop installation in August 2017. The rooftop project built on the cricket stadium in Mumbai, India will generate more than 1 million units and will reduce the power consumption by almost 25%.[11]

Tata Power Solar has commissioned an 820.8 kWp solar rooftop at the Cricket Club of India (CCI), in Mumbai. It claims it is the world’s largest solar rooftop on a cricket stadium[12]

gollark: Surely language parsing is not *as* complex as massively hard maths problems.
gollark: 3.7 hard.
gollark: Latin grammar isn't *that* horrible. It just has somewhat more flexible word order than, say, English, and also a lot of random suffixes and stuff.
gollark: Revised version is up. You may need to refresh the page a bit to see it. I've tried to keep the content basically the same.
gollark: Anyway, based on feedback from here and [REDACTED], I'm trying to improve the text a bit, trim it down and make it fit better with the "osmarks.tk style".
