Yanmar Engine Plant Partly Powered by Solar Energy
TAMIL NADU, India—Yanmar Engine Manufacturing India has installed a 1 megawatt peak solar photovoltaic generation system on the roof of its plant here to provide about 30 percent of the facility’s energy.
The addition of the more-than-2,200-module photovoltaic system will generate around 1,500 gigawatt-hours of renewable electricity annually, providing significant cost savings and reducing the company’s carbon footprint by an estimated 1,200 tons of CO2 emissions annually.
