Su-Kam Power Systems is set to become a major solar pow-er generator in the region. The company will generate 15 MW of solar power in different projects to be set up in Punjab and Haryana.
Besides the two states and Chandigarh, Su-Kam is also looking at expanding its solar power business internationally, especially in African countries. It plans to give a boost to its export of solar panels in the African market.
Kunwwer Sachdev, managing director of Su-kam Pow-er Systems, said they got into solar power generation recently and already have two small solar power generation projects running.

end of this year,” he said.
He said solar power being a sunshine industry and government committed to generate 100 gigawatts of solar power by 2020, they see a huge business opportunity here. “Since we have been manufacturing solar power equipment for over 10 years now and providing it to big companies here and exporting it to many African countries, it was a natural progression for the company to get into solar power generation by setting up our own generation projects,” he added. Solar panel manufacturing and solar generation now constitutes 25% of the Su-Kam Power Systems’ total business, with manufacturing of inverters/UPS and automotive solutions continuing to be the major business contributor
