Solar Microgrid

180+ HH, 49 kWp 

Commissioned:  September 2022

The village of Daranager in Uttar Pradesh is only about 12 kilometers from the well connected  town of Gajraula. Despite this, accessibility is a major challenge because this village is an island on the river Ganga, only reachable by boat. This had resulted in the village being cut off from the infrastructure and development that exists just a stone’s throw away, including a grid connection for electricity.

Technical specifications:

  • Solar modules - 535 Wp Mono by Renewsys
  • Inverter - 50 kVA by Statcon
  • Battery bank - 163kWh, VRLA, by Amara Raja

In late October 2022, Gram Oorja commissioned a three-phase, 50 kWp solar microgrid project for TRIF that now provides clean and reliable electric supply to over 180 households, as well as the school, anganwadi and temple in the village. This will bring a host of positive changes to the village.  Children will be able to study into the night, safety in the village will increase and productive applications for grinding, milling, and husking can now be powered.
