Fabric manufacturer PeeGee Fabrics is meeting 30% of its power needs with a 1.2 MW rooftop solar system at its factory in GIDC Naroda, Ahmedabad.
Founded in 1959, PeeGee manufacturers fashion fabrics at its integrated textile manufacturing unit. Spread over 40,000 square yards, the facility uses a wide range of machinery for fabric production. PeeGee also caters to some of the biggest names in fashion and apparel brands.
Noticing the large, underutilized roof space, Ahmedabad-based installer Malibu Renewables suggested that PeeGee install a solar system to reduce power costs without the need to acquire land.
Malibu explained that although the energy requirement is higher, government policies and regulations support rooftop solar installations, making it a viable and compliant solution. Rooftop solar also offers immediate savings, providing lower energy costs from the very first day.
With PeeGee’s high power consumption, the 1.2 MW rooftop solar system supports the facility’s daily operations under a net-metering arrangement.
The project is expected to generate 133,000 units per month and an estimated 1.59 million units annually.
The rooftop system utilizes Rayzon Solar’s 550 Wp Mono PERC modules and coupled with eight units of Polycab’s 125 kW string inverters.
Construction of the project started in June 2025 and was commissioned in August 2025.
