All aspects of the project, from commissioning to building it, took place within the Tata industrial conglomerate.Tata Steel came up with the idea and will purchase the power at a fixed tariff, while Tata Power Solar and Tata Power Trading Company executed it.

The plant uses modules that convert solar radiation into electricity. This energy is then transformed through inverters to AC power at a suitable voltage and then fed to the utility grid. According to the company, if a complete outage takes place, the solar plant has the ability to synchronize with an existing DG bus at a processing plant in Noamundi and continue operation.

The solar installation covers 19 acres of land at an elevated reclaimed mining hill. Tata says there is enough room to expand the project and increase generation to 4.5 megawatts.
