Aiming to advance its sustainability goals and make productive use of parking and shaded areas, Cyberpark in Kozhikode, Kerala, has commissioned a 300 kW rooftop solar system executed by Wattsun Energy.

The project was driven by Cyberpark’s vision to reduce grid dependence while turning underutilized car park spans into power generation assets. Before opting for solar, the campus consumed roughly 2.9 GWh of electricity annually. The new system is projected to lower annual power expenses by around 20%, with an estimated payback period of 2.5 years.

Wattsun deployed Rayzon solar modules paired with Polycab inverters for reliable, high-yield performance in coastal conditions. The mounting solution combines hot-dip galvanized iron structures for the car parks with site-specific rooftop structures across other buildings.

Engineering and civil works presented notable challenges while installing the solar systems. During execution, geotechnical checks revealed loose soil conditions in the proposed parking zones, temporarily halting progress for additional testing and structural strengthening. Wattsun addressed this by reinforcing the foundations and upgrading the car park with steel structures to safely bear the combined load of the modules, wind forces, and daily vehicular activity.

“The 300 kWp solar project at Cyberpark Kozhikode reflects Wattsun’s commitment to delivering clean, reliable energy solutions for Kerala’s growing tech sector. It stands as a model of how sustainable infrastructure can reduce grid dependence and drive the state toward a carbon-neutral future,” said Terance Alex, Founder and CEO at WattSun Energy.

Wattsun had previously installed a 1 MW rooftop solar system at the premises government-owned healthcare products manufacturer HLL Lifecare in Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala.

Commercial and industrial (C&I) consumers, especially IT and services campuses, are increasingly adopting solar to hedge rising tariffs, improve resilience, and meet corporate sustainability targets. By combining rooftop arrays with shaded carport structures, campuses like Cyberpark can unlock additional surface area for generation without compromising usable space for employees and visitors.

Mercom India hosts a multicity ‘C&I Clean Energy Meet’ series designed to provide C&I energy buyers with the knowledge and tools they need to adopt clean energy solutions and lower their power costs. The next C&I Clean Energy Meet will be held in Bhubaneswar on November 14, 2025.
