CleanMax Solar Conferred the Best Solar Power Turnkey Solutions in India
CleanMax Solar, India’s most trusted sustainability partner for corporates, was conferred the ‘Best Solar Power Turnkey Solutions – India 2018’ award by UK based Capital Finance International (CFI) Magazine. CleanMax Solar was recognized for its pioneering efforts in introducing the ‘Energy Sale’ model, under which any corporate can adopt solar energy in a capex free, risk free and hassle free manner. Under this model, more than 100 corporates have partnered with CleanMax Solar to achieve energy savings upwards of 30-40% relative to grid power.
The turnkey ‘Energy Sale’ solution helps customers to focus on their core business while CleanMax Solar takes responsibility for operating and maintaining the solar power plant to achieve optimum performance. This model has proven to be successful for both on-site solar plants and private solar park projects. This, in turn, helps the corporate reduce cost of electricity while at the same time reducing their carbon footprint. CFI Magazine’s Clean Energy Award recognizes the highest levels of achievement in the energy and environmental sustainability. Through such award programs, CFI Magazine aims to demonstrate the many ways in which the economies of the world are converging. The judging panel at the awards has reconfirmed a bright future for the company, and congratulates CleanMax Solar on its 2018 award win for Best Solar Power Turnkey Solutions (India). CleanMax Solar provides on-site solar power requiring zero capital expenditure through its pioneering energy sale model.
