3.6 MW Solar Project at Interloop Hosiery Division 3, Lahore

At Interloop, we know how important it is to reduce utilization of this installed solar capacity, we will be
emissions from upstream operations which is why we have generating around 5,000,000 kWh units and consequently
invested heavily in renewable power in line with Company’s reducing around 3,300 tCO2 per annum. Having a
Sustainability Targets for FY-21 to enhance Solar Capacity. lifespan of 25 years, this solar plant will contribute to
Keeping that in view, Interloop Energy Division in around 16% GHG-free energy into our existing energy
collaboration with plant 3 Centralized Engineering Team, consumption at Hosiery Plant 3. The amount of renewable
has installed a 3.6 MW Grid-Tied solar power system at energy produced from this project will help in Cradle to
Cradle certification as well, by allowing around two
million dozen socks to be C2C certified.
The project is installed with TIER 1 Panels and Invertors
with efficiencies that are highest available in the market.
Moreover, the structure used in this solar installation is
entirely aluminium with concrete blocks, resulting in less
weight addition on roofs and no drilling to avoid water
seepage. The entire system is being monitored with HMI
displays at multiple locations and online cloud-based
software to ensure adequate monitoring of solar units
generated. For this particular project, the weather station
is installed as well that monitors sun irradiance intensity &
PV module temperature to calculate the performance ratio

the Company’s multiple objectives of doing Sustainable energy use, Interloop Energy Division is devising another
business, providing the most economical energy generation solar project of 1.8 MW capacity for Plant 5 parking shed,
