India is the second largest crude steel producer in the world. The crude steel production in India was 125.32MT and steel production was 121.29 MT in FY23.

In FY24, the steel production growth of India is estimated at 4% – 7% (123 – 127 MT). This growth depends on the availability of raw materials such as labour and iron ore.

After the iron and steel industry, aluminium is the second most important industry in India. The aluminium industry has grown by nearly 20X in the past 60 years.

For solar solutions for iron & steel, steel and aluminium factories, we offer the best solar system installation services. Contact us now to install a solar system in your metalwork factory.

Electricity Load in the Metalwork Industry

The electricity load in a steel factory depends on the plant’s production capacity. Generally, the energy requirement for melting is 300 kWh for every tonne of scrap metal. On the other hand, approx 440 – 650 kWh of energy is required to produce 1 ton of steel.

These are the names of some important machinery used in a steel and iron production plant:

Working Mechanism of a Steel and Iron Factory

For steel production, there are two different processes: electric furnace and blast furnace process. 

For an electric furnace, the main raw material is sponge iron & iron scrap and for a blast furnace, the raw material is iron ore.

In an oxygen furnace, the iron is combined with steel scrap (<30%). After that, very pure oxygen (O2) is blown into the vessel causing a temperature up to 1700°C. The impurities and carbon content are reduced by 90% making the steel liquid.

Why Choose Solar Solutions for Iron Factory

Here are the advantages of using solar solutions for the iron, steel and aluminium industries:

  • The payback period of solar solutions for metalwork factories is very short, just 4 – 5 years.
  • With solar system installation, you can save around 70% – 80% of your regular electricity bills.
  • Solar energy is a renewable source of energy with zero carbon and greenhouse gas emissions.
  • After solar system installation, you can create a permanent shed against the electric cost inflation.
  • You can get between 20% – 40% returns/year on your initial investment.
  • Once invested in solar for steel and aluminium factories, it gives returns for the next 25 – 30 years.

Different Solar Solutions for Steel Factories

These are the different solar solutions we offer for steel factories:

  • Grid-connected Solar Rooftop Plant
  • Solar Street Light
  • Solar Submersible Pump
  • Solar Carport

Why On-Grid Rooftop Solar is a Better Option for Metalwork Factories?

On-grid or grid-connected solar system is one of the best options for steel, iron and aluminium factories as the power requirement is very high. 

We always recommend an on-grid solar for your industrial/commercial requirements. The reasons are–

  • On-grid rooftop solar systems allow you to rescue the grid dependency as the net meter prioritises the usage of solar powered electricity during the daytime.
  • This solar system does not contain any solar battery. Therefore the overall installation cost is lower than the off-grid and hybrid solar.
  • The maintenance cost is also low in an on-grid solar system compared to an off-grid or hybrid solar system.
