Cyberpark in Kozhikode, Kerala, has commissioned a 300 kW rooftop solar power system to support its IT campus, aiming to reduce grid dependence and promote sustainability.
Executed by Wattsun Energy, the project utilises underutilised parking and rooftop spaces to generate clean energy. The solar installation is expected to reduce the campus’s annual power consumption costs by about 20 percent, with a payback period of 2.5 years. Wattsun deployed Rayzon solar modules paired with Polycab inverters, designed to withstand coastal conditions. Installation faced engineering challenges, including loose soil in parking areas, which were mitigated by foundation reinforcements and steel structural upgrades to ensure safety under solar panel loads and vehicular activity.
This initiative exemplifies how IT campuses can adopt sustainable infrastructure to lower electricity costs while advancing carbon neutrality. Cyberpark joins a growing number of commercial and industrial consumers turning to solar to hedge against rising tariffs and meet corporate sustainability targets.
