From Vision to Reality: Ornate Solar’s First N-Type Solar Carport in Odisha

In the ever-evolving landscape of renewable energy, innovation is not just about new ideas—it’s about turning those ideas into impactful solutions. At Ornate Solar, we believe in this philosophy wholeheartedly. Every product we design, every solution we deploy, is rooted in the vision of reimagining the way of solar is installed across the world.

Last year, at the prestigious Renewable Energy India (REI) Expo, we introduced an exciting concept that drew a lot of attention—the N-Type and V-Type Solar Carport. These futuristic structures were designed not just to shelter vehicles but also to double as clean energy generators. At the time, it was a vision, a promise of what the future of parking infrastructure could look like.

Today, that vision stands tall in Odisha. After months of dedicated research, rigorous R&D, and expert engineering, we successfully commissioned our first N-Type Solar Carport at CVR University. This project is a live example of how Ornate Solar transforms ideas into reality, bringing innovation out of the exhibition floor and into the real world.

A solar carport is a specially designed structure that combines vehicle parking with solar power generation. Instead of just a shade or roof, a solar carport integrates solar panels on top, allowing the space to serve two purposes at once:

• Shelter for Vehicles – Protects cars, bikes, and EVs from harsh weather conditions.
• Clean Energy Production – Generates electricity that can power nearby buildings or charge electric vehicles.
• Optimized Land Use – Transforms underutilized parking spaces into energy-generating assets.
• Long-Term Savings – Helps reduce electricity bills and protects against future tariff hikes.

Solar carports are becoming increasingly popular in universities, corporates, shopping complexes, and industrial spaces because they maximize utility without consuming extra land.

C.V. Raman Global University (CVR University), one of Odisha’s most reputed institutions, has taken a major step toward sustainability by adopting Ornate Solar’s advanced solar carport technology. This landmark project is also Ornate Solar’s first-ever N-Type Carport execution, making it a breakthrough in the company’s innovation journey.

The carport seamlessly integrates shaded parking with clean power generation, demonstrating how modern infrastructure can serve dual purposes—providing convenience while driving the transition to renewable energy.

Project Highlights

• Site Name: C.V. Raman Global University, Odisha
• Project Capacity: 35.4 kWp
• Area Covered: 1,922.86 sq. ft.
• Panels Used: 590 Wp Vikram Solar Modules
• Inverter: 30 kW Fimer String Inverter

Spread across nearly 2,000 square feet, this solar carport not only shields vehicles from harsh weather but also generates a substantial amount of green energy annually. The system offsets a significant portion of the university’s electricity demand, reducing costs while lowering carbon emissions.

With this project, CVR University has positioned itself as a sustainability leader among Indian educational institutions, showcasing how campuses can transform into future-ready hubs through renewable energy adoption. For Ornate Solar, this installation represents the successful transition of a concept—first showcased at REI—into a real-world solution with measurable economic and environmental benefits.

The journey of this solar carport was anything but ordinary. Turning an exhibition concept into a full-scale project required innovation, expertise, and meticulous execution.

• Research & Design Innovation: The engineering team at Ornate Solar worked extensively on perfecting the N-Type structure. The goal was to design a carport that could withstand environmental stress while ensuring maximum solar output.
• Technology Selection: High-efficiency Vikram Solar 590Wp panels were chosen for their proven performance, supported by a reliable Fimer 30kW inverter. Together, these ensured optimum energy generation and system stability.
• Fabrication & Construction: The structural design underwent rigorous checks for strength and durability. Every beam, joint, and connection was engineered to last decades.
• Commissioning: Finally, the carport was brought to life—connecting clean energy generation with practical functionality. The finished structure now stands as a modern energy asset for CVR University.

This seamless transition from R&D to commissioning demonstrates Ornate Solar’s commitment to bridging the gap between visionary ideas and real-world execution.

The success of the CVR University project has opened the door for more solar carports across India. Universities, corporates, and institutions are beginning to recognize the potential of solar carports not just as energy systems, but as symbols of sustainability.

At Ornate Solar, our mission is clear: to reimagine solar infrastructure and make it more adaptable, efficient, and impactful. The Odisha’s carport is just one milestone in this journey. We are committed to expanding this vision to campuses, industrial hubs, and cities across the nation.

From showcasing a concept at REI to bringing it to life at CVR University, the story of Ornate Solar’s N-Type Solar Carport is a story of persistence, innovation, and execution. It highlights our ability to turn futuristic ideas into functional realities—a quality that defines Ornate Solar’s journey.

The Odisha solar carport is not just a project. It is a proof of concept, a benchmark for sustainable infrastructure, and a symbol of what’s possible when vision meets engineering excellence.

If you’re looking to transform your parking space into a clean energy powerhouse, Ornate Solar can make it happen. Whether it’s a university, a corporate office, or an industrial facility, we design and deliver solar carports that combine innovation with reliability.
