Before the advent of solar energy, the flour mill in Mau relied heavily on diesel engines, consuming a staggering Rs 40,000 worth of diesel every month. Not only was this financially burdensome, but it also contributed to environmental degradation and air pollution. However, with the installation of the solar-powered system, the mill has undergone a remarkable transformation.

The solar system comprises 32 solar panels with a total capacity of 550W, strategically mounted on galvanized structures to harness maximum sunlight. To ensure safety and reliability, the system is equipped with essential components like lightning arresters and proper earthing. This comprehensive setup ensures uninterrupted operation, even during adverse weather conditions.

One of the key components of the solar system is the 20HP drive, which efficiently converts solar energy into mechanical power. This power drives a 10HP motor, which in turn operates a 20-inch flour mill and a 6-bolt expeller simultaneously. The synergy between these components ensures optimal performance, producing high-quality flour while minimizing energy wastage.

The impact of the 10HP Solar Atta Chakki in Mau-Uttar Pradesh, goes beyond mere operational efficiency. By harnessing renewable energy sources, the mill has significantly reduced its carbon footprint and dependence on fossil fuels. The transition from diesel to solar power has not only slashed the monthly expenditure on fuel but has also saved approximately 800 trees annually, contributing to forest conservation efforts.
