Profitability · Durability · Scalability: To See Growatt Empower India’s Energy-Intensive Factories with Tailored Solutions

In the bustling industrial hubs of Hyderabad, Jalna, and Aurangabad, a quiet transformation is underway. Factories once shackled by soaring electricity bills and erratic grid power are reclaiming control through rooftop solar systems. But behind their success lies an unsung hero: the inverters that convert sunlight into reliable, industrial-grade power. Three companies—Mahasai Aluminium, Bhumi Cottex, and Oshiya Metals—demonstrate how Growatt’s tailored inverter solutions are not just enabling solar adoption but proving solar’s role as a lifeline for energy-intensive industries.

Mahasai Aluminium, a leading Indian manufacturer of high-precision aluminum extrusion profiles meeting international standards, implemented an 800kW rooftop solar system featuring five Growatt MAX125KTL3-X LV inverters. Thanks to the inverters’ 98.8% high efficiency and reliability, the factory could maintain uninterrupted 24/7 operations, slashing grid dependency while ensuring a high-precision production output. Within just 4-5 months of installation, they witnessed a substantial reduction in their electricity bills. By adopting solar energy for self-consumption with part export to the grid, this system is projected to generate more than 1,095,000 kWh annually, leading to estimated savings of 126,910 USD per year.

Similarly, in Aurangabad’s dust-choked Shendra MIDC industrial zone, Oshiya Metals faced a different reliability challenge. Their 200 kW solar plant, equipped with three IP65-rated Growatt MAC 60KTL3-X LV inverters, demonstrated that durability is as vital as efficiency. Designed to withstand particulate-heavy environments, the system eliminated downtime previously caused by grid outages and equipment degradation—a non-negotiable advantage for tube manufacturing. With plans to expand capacity, Oshiya is now positioned to scale its renewable energy investments, proving that industrial durability and sustainable growth can coexist in even the most demanding environments.

While Mahasai and Oshiya prioritized operational stability, Bhumi Cottex’s solar journey exemplifies scalable design and sustainability integration. By deploying a phased 1MW system—starting with 250kW and expanding to 750kW using Growatt’s MAX and MOD string inverters—the company achieved seamless capacity growth without disrupting production. The hybrid setup (3×MAX 125KTL3-X LV and 1×MAX 100KTL3-X LV for heavy machinery, 1×MOD 70KTL3-X + 1×MOD 10KTL3-X for auxiliary loads) optimized their monthly self-consumption of 4 to 5 lakh units and exporting the surplus solar energy directly offset carbon-intensive grid reliance. This scalable framework not only future-proofed their energy infrastructure but also transformed energy savings into a 30% reduction in operational costs.

Though Mahasai, Bhumi, and Oshiya operate in disparate sectors, their stories converge on a singular truth: industrial solar’s value lies not in mere kilowatt-hours, but in its ability to adapt to sector-specific realities. By addressing these unique needs while ensuring financial and operational continuity, Growatt’s inverters have redefined solar from a backup option to a strategic imperative. As India’s industries navigate an energy-intensive future, those thriving will be the ones where solar inverters do more than power machines—they power reinvention.
