Sterling and Wilson, ranked 9th largest solar EPC and the only Indian EPC in the top 10 globally by IHS research, has been bestowed with the Inter-Solar Award 2015 in the utility scale category at this year?s exhibition in Mumbai. The award was presented for the company?s path-breaking work in developing a large 11 MWp solar power plant in Solapur, Maharashtra on total turnkey EPC basis under JNNSM Phase II Batch I. Commissioned in 2015, the plant is spread across 45.5 acre with 36,000 polycrystalline modules. The solar plant powers close to 18,000 Indian homes and displaces approximately 14,000 tonne of CO2 which is equivalent to taking around 30,000 cars off the road. Sterling & Wilson offered a turnkey service in terms of land, permits and putting up the evacuation on time for the project. The project also created over 300 jobs thereby contributing to the economy at large.
