Loom has secured a turnkey 0.5 MW/1 MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) integrated with a 0.5 MW solar project for Rajvansh Associates Rice Mill in Mahasamund, Chhattisgarh. The project is aimed at improving power reliability, optimising electricity consumption and reducing the industrial facility’s dependence on grid electricity.
The installation will comprise a 0.5 MW DC rooftop solar system with 450 kW AC capacity, integrated with four CAML All-in-One BESS units, each rated at 125 kW/261 kWh. The solar component will use Loom’s SHARK 625Wp N-Type TOPCon G12R dual-glass bifacial solar panels and three Fusion 150 kW grid-tied photovoltaic (PV) inverters.
Solar and Battery Storage to Support Round-the-Clock Operations
The integrated system will use daytime solar generation to meet the rice mill’s electricity requirements and charge the battery storage units. Stored energy will be discharged from 5 PM until the following morning, extending solar power utilisation beyond daylight hours.
During grid interruptions, the solar and battery systems will support the facility’s operations. The installation is designed to automatically switch to grid electricity once the batteries reach the designated 90% discharge threshold.
According to Loom’s estimates, the project is expected to deliver a payback period of approximately three to four years. The system is projected to support around 900 units of electricity daily, translating into an indicative energy value of ₹9,000 per day or approximately ₹32.4 lakh annually.
The project also provides scope for future expansion through an additional proposed 250 kW/522 kWh BESS capacity.
Loom Expands Industrial Solar-Plus-Storage Portfolio
The Chhattisgarh installation builds on Loom’s experience in industrial solar-plus-storage projects. The company previously completed a 300 kW solar installation integrated with a 375 kW/783 kWh BESS in Uttar Pradesh. The system generates approximately 1,500–1,600 units of electricity daily to support manufacturing operations.
For the latest project, Loom will undertake turnkey execution, covering design, equipment supply, installation, commissioning, testing, operation and maintenance. The project is expected to be commissioned by December 2026.
The installation highlights the growing adoption of integrated solar and battery storage solutions across rice mills, food processing facilities and other energy-intensive industries. These systems enable industrial consumers to improve renewable energy utilisation, manage electricity costs and strengthen operational reliability.
Through its expanding Commercial and Industrial (C&I) portfolio, Loom is targeting greater adoption of integrated renewable energy and storage solutions across India’s industrial and commercial sectors.
