Sanvira’s Rising Energy Demand
Sanvira Biosciences, a leading biotech contract manufacturer in Visakhapatnam, operates continuous fermentation and production lines that consume significant electricity. As operational scale increased, power bills surged and tariff fluctuations began affecting their monthly financial planning.
Sanvira wanted a long-term, reliable, and cost-effective solar for business solution to stabilise energy costs and reduce grid reliance.
The Need for a Reliable Solar Strategy
Sanvira was looking for a solution that would:
- Reduce high monthly electricity costs
- Use their 16,500 sq. ft of idle rooftop space effectively
- Deliver consistent, industrial-grade solar output
- Work seamlessly with ongoing manufacturing operations
- Provide transparent performance data through digital monitoring
They needed a trusted rooftop solar company capable of handling industrial requirements end-to-end.
Freyr Energy’s Solar Approach for Their Facility
Freyr Energy partnered with Sanvira Biosciences to engineer a 368 kW rooftop solar system designed specifically for industrial load patterns. With expertise in solar panel installation for commercial and industrial facilities, Freyr Energy ensured minimal disruption and maximum long-term performance.
Key Technical Highlights
- High-efficiency 585 W TOPCon solar modules
- Advanced string inverter setup with improved safety and uptime
- Installation spread across tin-sheet rooftops without additional civil work
- Weather sensors and irradiance meters for accurate data
- Real-time monitoring enabled through the Freyr Energy App
- Complete execution from design to commissioning in just 16 weeks
Measured Benefits and Performance Gains
The rooftop solar system now generates over 45,000 units every month, delivering substantial financial and operational value.
Results Delivered
- Annual savings: Approx. ₹28 lakh
- Grid dependency reduced by ~14%
- Payback period: Estimated 5–7 years
- Improved resilience against grid tariff hikes
- Sustainable, clean power supporting environmental goals
This clearly demonstrates the impact of adopting solar for business in energy-intensive manufacturing environments.
Enhanced Control with the Freyr Energy App
Sanvira’s team now has full access to real-time system performance through the Freyr Energy App, which provides:
- Daily and monthly generation reports
- Performance ratio tracking
- Equipment health updates
- Analytics for planning energy usage
The app has improved system visibility and simplified decision-making for the operations team.
On Track for Future Expansion
Impressed by the returns and reliability of the current system, Sanvira is now evaluating expansion to 1 MW rooftop solar capacity with Freyr Energy to further reduce energy costs.
A Strong Benchmark for Industrial Solar Adoption in India
This project shows how a well-executed rooftop solar installation can transform energy economics for an industrial facility. Freyr Energy’s expertise as a leading rooftop solar company helped Sanvira Biosciences unlock long-term savings, operational stability, and sustainable growth.
