Infinity, in partnership with SolarSquare, Unveils Pune’s Largest Housing Society Rooftop Solar Project
Infinity Cooperative Housing Society, in partnership with SolarSquare Energy, recently inaugurated its 400 kW Rooftop Solar System, Pune’s largest
housing society solar project getting commissioned in a single go under PM Surya Ghar scheme. This project is also the largest-ever solar power plant for a cooperative housing society in SolarSquare’s portfolio.
This project, the first of its kind at such a scale, is set to receive a substantial central subsidy of Rs. 70 Lacs under the PM Surya Ghar scheme initiated by the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy. The groundbreaking solar project spans across the 8 towers of Infinity, utilising cutting-edge technology including Premier’s Mono-PERC half-cut bifacial 540 Wp solar panels and SolarEdge’s power optimizer-based inverter technology. It also features SolarSquare’s WindPro mount cyclone-proof structures.
“With the flip of a switch at Infinity CHS, SolarSquare is illuminating the path to a cleaner, brighter future. Today, we unveil more than just a solar project; we empower the community at large with energy independence and environmental stewardship. The project is set to bring Infinity an annual electricity bill savings of over Rs. 1 Cr and help reduce over 10000 tonnes of carbon emissions over the lifetime,” said Nikhil Nahar, the Co-founder of
SolarSquare.
The ceremony was graced by esteemed dignitaries and key stakeholders.

Upon surveying the new solar plant project, Sh. Chetan Tupe, MLA, Hadapsar Assembly congratulated the society and expressed his admiration for the efforts of all the people involved. “This groundbreaking solar project sets a benchmark for other societies in Pune to go sustainable. Global warming was once an alien term, but today it is at our doorstep, causing drastic weather conditions. If we don’t act now, our future generations will have no future. The 400kW solar system installed by SolarSquare, with the aid of a Rs. 70 Lacs subsidy under PM Suryaghar Muft Bijli Yojana, is a commendable step towards a sustainable future. I personally laud the efforts of the committee at Infinity Society and hope that other societies follow their lead.”
Mr. Pankaj Kumar and Mr. Pankaj Saxena from Infinity CHS also expressed their thoughts and experience with SolarSquare in taking this initiative for the Society. Following the inauguration, India’s top rooftop solar company, SolarSquare Energy Pvt. Ltd., conducted an enlightening session to discuss the seamless process and various advantages of harnessing solar power within housing societies.
The program ended with a vote of thanks from Mr. Vikas from Infinity CHS. SolarSquare further applauded the efforts of Infinity CHS by recognising them with the climate hero memento
