Experience, engineering, and engagement technology solutions company Zensar Technologies has commissioned a new solar installation totaling 620 kW at its Pune facilities in partnership with B. U. Bhandari Energy.

The project, comprising a 350 kW rooftop system and a 270 kW solar carport, will generate about 900,000 kWh of clean energy annually, offsetting a significant share of the company’s power needs.

The two-phase project builds on Zensar’s earlier solar adoption. The systems utilize Rayzon modules and Sungrow inverters, mounted on a combination of RCC rooftop and custom-designed carport structures.

Before the project, Zensar’s monthly electricity consumption averaged 225,000 kWh. With the new systems in place, the company expects a three-year return on investment (RoI), translating into substantial savings on power bills while reducing grid dependency by 30%.

The project faced space and logistics constraints due to the limited rooftop area and narrow carport structure. To overcome these challenges, B.U. Bhandari Energy adopted a pre-assembly approach by fabricating structures off-site and transporting them in smaller batches for installation.

Safety was a key focus throughout the implementation process. The confined rooftop and low-clearance carport required extensive measures, including fall-arrest systems, strict personal protective equipment compliance, and designated safety zones to prevent accidents in tight spaces.

“We recently completed Phase II of our solar installation at the premises of Zensar Technologies. It was a successful installation of the repeat order Zensar Technologies have entrusted us with. These installations now generate approximately 900,000 units of clean energy annually, helping Zensar Technologies reduce its carbon footprint and contribute to a greener, more sustainable future,” said Kushal Shah, Director at B. U. Bhandari Energy.

As part of the wider IT industry, Zensar’s clean energy transition reflects a growing movement among major technology firms to integrate sustainability into core operations.

Data centers and IT campuses are typically power-intensive, making renewable energy adoption a strategic priority for cost optimization as well as emissions reduction. By embracing on-site solar and energy-efficient infrastructure, companies like Zensar are not only reducing operating costs but also aligning with global sustainability goals and client expectations for greener supply chains.

Mercom India hosts a multicity ‘C&I Clean Energy Meet’ series designed to provide commercial and industrial energy buyers with the knowledge and tools they need to adopt clean energy solutions and lower their power costs. The next Clean Energy Meet event will be held in Jaipur on September 19, 2025.
