On sunny days, 150kW of solar power efficiently generates electricity for our entire factory. This renewable energy source powers our complete operations seamlessly, reducing our reliance on traditional electricity sources. In fact, we do not have a grid connection at all, and although 80% of our annual power comes from these sources, our factory runs on 100% solar power on all non rainy days.
The solar panels, strategically installed on our factory’s roof and other areas, harness the abundant sunlight to produce clean and sustainable energy.
As the sunlight hits the solar panels, the photovoltaic cells convert it into usable electricity through the inverters, directly powering our machinery and equipment. This self-sustaining Renewable energy solution not only helps to lower our carbon footprint but also saves us significantly on energy costs.
With the sun as our primary source of power, we are able to operate our factory with minimal impact on the environment. The excess energy generated during the day is stored in batteries for use at night, ensuring uninterrupted power supply at all times. Our commitment to sustainability drives us to maximize the potential of solar power, leading to a greener and more eco-friendly manufacturing process. Embracing solar energy has not only made us more energy-independent but has also positioned us as a responsible corporate citizen, contributing to a cleaner and healthier future for generations to come.
Our dedication to utilising solar power and other sources of renewable energy reflects our values of innovation, efficiency, and environmental stewardship in everything we do. With the sun’s energy as our ally, we continue to thrive and grow while minimising our environmental impact. We also into other renewable energy sources such as gas production from kitchen and garden wastes that help supplement the LPG requirement in our Cafeteria.

Renewable energy (also called green energy) is energy made from renewable natural resources that are replenished on a human timescale. The most widely used renewable energy types are solar energy, wind power, and hydropower. Bioenergy and geothermal power are also significant in some countries. Renewable energy installations can be large or small and are suited for both urban and rural areas. Renewable energy is often deployed together with further electrification. This has several benefits: electricity can move heat and vehicles efficiently and is clean at the point of consumption. Variable renewable energy sources are those that have a fluctuating nature, such as wind power and solar power. In contrast, controllable renewable energy sources include dammed hydroelectricity, bioenergy, or geothermal power.
Renewable energy systems have rapidly become more efficient and cheaper over the past 30 years. A large majority of newly installed worldwide electricity capacity is now renewable. Renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind power, have seen significant cost reductions over the past decade, making them more competitive with traditional fossil fuels. In some geographic localities, photovoltaic solar or onshore wind is the cheapest new-build electricity. From 2011 to 2021, renewable energy grew from 20% to 28% of the global electricity supply. Power from the sun and wind accounted for most of this increase, growing from a combined 2% to 10%. Use of fossil energy shrank from 68% to 62%. In 2024, renewables accounted for over 30% of global electricity generation and are projected to reach over 45% by 2030. Many countries already have renewables contributing more than 20% of their total energy supply, with some generating over half or even all their electricity from renewable sources.
The main motivation to use renewable energy instead of fossil fuels is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, which cause climate change. In general, renewable energy sources pollute much less than fossil fuels. Renewables also cause much less air pollution than fossil fuels, improving public health, and are less noisy. The International Energy Agency estimates that to achieve net zero emissions by 2050, 90% of global electricity will need to be generated by renewables. The current pace of renewable expansion remains far from this required rate globally, including in major economies with high financial capacities such as the G7 and the EU.
The deployment of renewable energy still faces obstacles, especially fossil fuel subsidies, lobbying by incumbent power providers, and local opposition to the use of land for renewable installations. Like all mining, the extraction of minerals required for many renewable energy technologies also results in environmental damage.
Some also consider nuclear power a renewable power source, although this is controversial, as nuclear energy requires mining uranium, a nonrenewable resource.
