In July 2019, BHEL planned to set up a 25 MW floating solar photovoltaic project in Simhadri, Andhra Pradesh. In October 2019, BHEL invited bids for the designing and supply of the floating solar project. It now plans to set up the project with the O&M service provider. The installation will consist of 109,800 solar PV modules mounted on floaters supplied by Quant Solar in 10 individual blocks. Arken Solutions is the turnkey contractor for this solar project.
