Puducherry: Evolve Energy Wins Rooftop Solar Project From PEB

Chennai-based Evolve Energy, a 360-degree solar energy solutions provider, has recently secured a contract to implement a 5 MW rooftop solar project across government buildings in Puducherry. The project was tendered by the Pondicherry Electricity Board (PEB) and facilitated by SECI (Solar Energy Corporation of India).

As part of the project, Evolve Energy will deploy rooftop solar installations across multiple buildings, including secretariats, courts, hospitals, educational institutions, and other administrative buildings, with design and installation tailored to each site. With minimal operational disruption, the company aims to seamlessly integrate renewable energy into Puducherry’s essential public infrastructure services.

Under this contract, Evolve Energy Group will lead the end-to-end EPC execution from site surveys and customized system design to final commissioning and long-term operations and maintenance. This comprehensive approach to handling the project will ensure quality, efficiency, and sustained performance.  

This initiative of the solar rooftop project in Puducherry aligns with India’s broader renewable energy goals and showcases the role of collaborative public-private partnerships in advancing the green energy agenda.  After the commencement of the project operations, Evolve Energy expects to generate approximately. 7,000 MWh annually, significantly leading to carbon reduction and cost savings for public sector energy consumption.

Prasad SK, Head Tenders of Evolve Energy, said, “Our experience in distributed solar solutions enables us to deliver high-performance systems that not only reduce environmental impact but also drive economic value for public infrastructure.”
