SunEdison Installs Solar On Delhi Metro Rail's Badarpur-Faridabad Line

(RTTNews) - SunEdison, Inc. (SUNE), a renewable energy development company, announced the successful installation and operation of eight solar systems for India's Delhi Metro Rail Corporation or DMRC.

According to the company, the newly finished Badarpur-Faridabad line is the first metro line in the DMRC network to integrate solar into the design of the buildings.

The solar systems are built on the roofs of the stations and depot and are expected to generate 1.9 megawatts of clean, reliable, and cost effective solar power.

The solar systems are expected to generate 2.5 gigawatt-hours of electricity annually, and avoid the emission of 1,700 metric tons of carbon dioxide each year. This equals to taking 363 cars off the road or preventing more than 800 metric tons of coal from being burned.
