In an effort to support the Green India Mission, an initiative by the Government of India, the Japanese bike maker, India Yamaha Motor has inaugurated a 4000 KW Solar Power Project at its Surajpur Manufacturing plant. Yamaha has partnered with the solar service provider in India, Amplus Solar for installation, operation and maintenance of Solar Power System. The installation will get completed by April this year.
The Solar Power System consists of solar cells that would produce electricity upon exposure to Sun Light (Photovoltaic Effect). In the initial phase, roofs of the factory buildings will be utilized to install Solar Panels to fulfill the partial need of electrical energy required for manufacturing operation. In the further phases, it will be extended to cover parking areas inside the Yamaha Surajpur factory premises. Solar Power System are planned to be installed in other India Yamaha Motor Plants as well.
