Loom has secured a turnkey project to install a 0.5 MW solar power system integrated with a 1 MWh Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) for Rajvansh Associates Rice Mill in Mahasamund, Chhattisgarh. The project aims to improve energy efficiency, enhance power reliability and reduce 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 rated at 125 kW/261 kWh each. It will feature Loom's SHARK 625 Wp N-Type TOPCon G12R dual-glass bifacial solar panels and three Fusion 150 kW grid-tied photovoltaic inverters.

The system will utilise solar power generated during the day to meet operational requirements and charge the batteries. Stored energy will be discharged from 5 pm onwards, extending renewable energy availability into the night and early morning. During grid interruptions, the integrated solar and battery system will support operations, with an automatic transition to grid electricity once the battery reaches its designated 90 per cent discharge threshold.

According to Loom, the project is expected to achieve a payback period of three to four years. The system is estimated to support approximately 900 units of energy daily, representing an indicative value of Rs 9,000 per day or Rs 3.24 million annually. The installation also offers scope for expansion through an additional 250 kW/522 kWh BESS capacity.

Loom has previously executed a 300 kW solar project integrated with a 375 kW/783 kWh BESS in Uttar Pradesh. The installation generates approximately 1,500–1,600 units of electricity daily to support industrial operations.

For the Chhattisgarh project, Loom will undertake end-to-end execution, including design, supply, installation, commissioning, testing, operation and maintenance. Commissioning is scheduled for December 2026.

The project strengthens Loom's commercial and industrial (C&I) renewable energy portfolio as demand for integrated solar and storage solutions increases across energy-intensive industries, including rice mills and food processing facilities. Such systems can help industrial operators optimise energy consumption, reduce grid dependence and improve operational reliability.
