Indian Agricultural Research Institute

The Indian Agricultural Research Institute (IARI), under ICAR, is India’s top agricultural research and education institute, driving innovations in crop improvement, farming technologies, and food sustainability.

The institute is setting up a new production facility in Pusa, New Delhi, and has decided to power this building with clean and cost-effective solar energy.

Ornate Solar installed a 100 kW AgriPV system with solar trackers across 6,000 sq. ft. This advanced solution combines agriculture with energy generation, while the trackers allow panels to follow the sun’s path, boosting output by 15–25% compared to fixed structures.

The system is expected to generate around 1,75,000 kWh of clean energy annually and reduce CO₂ emissions by over 5,000 tons during its lifetime.

High Efficiency

InRoof is a roof made of solar panels that eliminates the need for sheet/metal roofing. There is ample space for airflow underneath the panels due to which they remain cooler. This factor, along with other attributes, leads to an efficiency gain of nearly 8-10%.

Waterproof Solution

InRoof is equipped with a double layer of protection. The fully mechanical top cover repels water and prevents it from seeping through. The second layer is an advanced MG shield which expands and contracts as per weather conditions.

Enhanced Aesthetics

Solar InRoof boasts a seamless design that can be adapted to diverse architectures and roof styles. This unique roofing system invites in natural light, effectively blocks excess heat and adds a modern and futuristic touch to your space.
