Shams Power Ground Mounted Solar Panels in Pakistan: Powering Industrial Growth

In the rapidly evolving energy landscape of Pakistan, solar power has emerged as a major driver of industrial efficiency and sustainability. Among the leading players, Shams Power is making a distinct mark by deploying ground-mounted solar panels in the Pakistani industrial sector—helping companies slash costs, reduce carbon footprints, and achieve energy resilience. Here’s why Shams Power's turnkey model is revolutionizing industrial solar adoption in Pakistan.

1. Why Pakistan's Industrial Sector Needs Solar

• Soaring electricity costs: Grid tariffs have risen sharply in recent years—driven by rising debt in coal-based power generation, diesel shortages, and import dependencies—placing heavy burdens on industrial energy bills.
• Unreliable supply & hidden costs: Frequent outages compel businesses to run expensive diesel generators, pushing operational costs even higher .
• Exceptional solar potential: With over 1,500 kWh/m²/year of irradiance and over 90% sunshine coverage, Pakistan ranks among the top nations globally for solar deployment opportunity.

By switching to solar, Pakistani industries are significantly reducing reliance on diesel backup, ensuring cleaner and more reliable energy.

2. What Shams Power Offers: Ground‑Mounted Solar Under BOOT/PPA

Shams Power provides customized ground-mounted solar solutions on a Solar BOOT (Build-Own-Operate-Transfer) Model and PPA (Power Purchase Agreement) model—offering hassle-free access to solar without upfront investment.

Key Advantages:

• Zero CAPEX/O&M burden: Companies enjoy solar-generated electricity without having to purchase equipment or assume performance risk.
• Immediate savings: Solar tariffs under PPA are typically lower than grid-supplied power, leading to instant cost benefits .
• Turnkey execution: Shams Power handles site assessment, yield & shadow analysis, engineering, procurement, installation, and ongoing monitoring.

This end-to-end approach enables industrial firms—from textile mills to cold storage facilities—to monetize unused land or rooftops effectively.

3. Proven Success: Industrial Clients Leading the Change

Shams Power has already energized numerous well-known industrial clients, demonstrating tangible benefits.

Highlighted Case Studies:

• AkzoNobel Pakistan: Installed a 0.5 MW solar system at the Lahore manufacturing plant. Result: ~€14,000/year savings and 387,000 kg CO₂ avoided, with zero investment from AkzoNobel.
• Metro Cash & Carry Pakistan: A large-scale 5 MW ground-mounted system across multiple outlets. Helps reduce over 2.6 million kg of CO₂ annually.
• Packages Mall: Rooftop installation of 2 MW leads to 1,100 tons of CO₂ reduction per year.
• Coca‑Cola, Faisalabad: A 2.5 MW ground-mounted project using JA Solar DeepBlue 4.0 Pro panels—highly efficient under extreme temperature, UV, and dust conditions.

Collectively, Shams Power has deployed over 35 MW of solar capacity across industrial and institutional clients.

4. Scaling Up: Financing and Expansion

A key driver behind Shams Power’s success has been access to substantial financing:

• PKR 2 billion (USD 11.3 million) from Bank Alfalah—75% guaranteed by GuarantCo—funded 21 MW of ground-mounted and rooftop projects, including industrial sites, hospitals, and universities.
• A further PKR 1.5 billion facility is enabling an additional ~10 MW rollout.

These financial structures empower Shams Power to scale quickly, delivering clean energy at competitive costs while generating CO₂ savings and supporting grid stability.

5. Environmental Impact & Grid Benefits

Key sustainability and reliability benefits include:

• CO₂ reduction: Each industrial solar plant reduces hundreds of tons of annual emissions—e.g., Metro’s 5 MW system cuts 2.6 million kg/year .
• Backup replacement: Severe load shedding relief by offsetting diesel use for generators .
• Alleviating grid debt strain: Distributed generation eases peak demand and helps relieve pressure on Pakistan’s debt-loaded grid.

6. Why Industrial Businesses Should Choose Ground‑Mounted Arrays

Ground-mounted solar installations offer distinct advantages for industrial estates:

• Scalable capacity: Easily expand systems beyond rooftops—multi‑megawatt arrays on open land.
• Optimal performance: Flexibility in panel positioning avoids shading, maximizes energy yields.
• Low maintenance: Elevated arrays facilitate cleaning and upkeep compared to rooftop units.
• Space monetization: Underutilized land can now be profit-generating, green energy assets.

Shams Power leverages this model optimally, marrying technical precision with financial ease.

FAQ

Q1: How does Shams Power’s ground-mounted solar PPA model work for industrial clients?
