In the landscapes of Karasagod, Kerala, a pivotal project has paved the way to sustainable healthcare. U-Solar has successfully commissioned Kerala’s first 8.5 MW group captive solar power plant, making this a key moment in the state’s renewable energy journey.
As the healthcare sector operates 24/7, its energy usage is high. This project powers Aster DM Healthcare’s Calicut and Kannur branches as a leading model on how the healthcare sector can embrace solar power and be eco-friendly.
The scale of this achievement speaks volumes:
- 8.5 MW capacity generating clean energy around the clock
- 14 million units of annual energy production
- 11,600 tonnes of CO2 emissions prevented every year
- Advanced mono PERC technology ensures maximum efficiency
U-Solar had to conquer numerous hurdles to make this possible. The project location is Karasagod, which is chock-full of steep slopes, rock-strewn terrain, and unpredictable weather. By being thorough and strict with planning, U-Solar was able to complete this project in barely 18 months.
This achievement is a testament to U-Solar’s capability to execute challenging installations while maintaining the highest standards of quality and safety.
This project represents a vision in which critical services such as healthcare run sustainably, minimizing their impact on the environment while maintaining operational excellence.

For Aster DM, this project marks a giant leap towards saving costs, conserving energy, and being environmentally conscious. The project is a step towards a greener tomorrow, not just for the business, but for the entire state.
As Kerala’s renewable energy scenario changes, U-Solar is leading the charge with innovation and sustainability for industries. This group captive solar facility is only the start. There’s a lot to come in the future.
