Danube Group Collaborates with CleanMax Solar, Installs 1,200 kW Solar Projects

CleanMax Solar has announced that it has partnered with Danube Group for a 1,200 kW rooftop solar project at its manufacturing facility in Techno Park, Dubai.

The facility will meet the majority of Danube’s annual electricity requirements by embracing solar power and will save AED 300,000 ($81,000) per annum on its electricity bills, as per company statement.

The rooftop solar power project is spread across four buildings and is based on the build- own and operate (BOO) model.  The project also has an added benefit of net metering under the Shams Dubai program. Here, the additional power generated by the solar project will be exported back to Dubai Electricity, and Water Authority’s (DEWA) grid and Danube will get credits for the units exported, thus increasing its electricity cost savings.

The project provides Danube Group with solar electricity at tariffs cheaper than the prevailing grid electricity tariff under a long-term agreement. Through the rooftop solar project, the Danube Group is expected to abate 845 tons of carbon emissions per annum.
