758.4 kWp Floating Solar at Janata Jute Mills – Cynergy

As a Leading Solar EPC Company in Bangladesh, Cynergy Delivers Advanced Floating Solar Solutions

As a leading Solar EPC company in Bangladesh, Cynergy Limited designed and delivered a 758.4 kWp floating solar power project at Janata Jute Mills in Faridpur. This industrial floating solar installation transforms an existing water reservoir into a clean energy asset while preserving valuable land for the mill’s core operations and future expansion.

The project forms part of a larger 18.87 MWp solar portfolio combined with an 8.35 MWh Battery Energy Storage System, creating one of the most comprehensive industrial solar-plus-storage ecosystems in Bangladesh.

The Challenge: Expanding Industrial Solar Capacity Without Using Valuable Land

Large industrial facilities in Bangladesh often face space constraints. Allocating additional land for conventional ground-mounted solar can be difficult when space is needed for manufacturing, warehousing, logistics, and future growth.

Janata Jute Mills already had an operational water reservoir within its facility. As an experienced Solar EPC contractor in Bangladesh, Cynergy identified the opportunity to deploy floating solar technology and expand renewable energy capacity without occupying additional land.

Solar EPC Bangladesh: Delivering Advanced Floating Solar Solutions

Cynergy engineered and delivered a 758.4 kWp floating solar PV system specifically designed for the reservoir environment. The solar modules are installed on purpose-built floating structures with a secure anchoring and mooring system to ensure long-term stability under changing water levels and environmental conditions.

Dedicated access walkways were incorporated to support safe inspection, maintenance, and operation of the floating solar plant.

The water body also provides a natural cooling effect, which helps moderate module temperatures and supports efficient energy generation in Bangladesh’s hot climate — a clear advantage of floating solar over traditional ground-mounted systems.

Integrating 18.87 MWp of Solar with 8.35 MWh of Energy Storage

The floating solar system is part of a diversified renewable energy infrastructure developed at Janata Jute Mills.

The facility integrates approximately 18.87 MWp of solar PV capacity across three platforms:

• 10 MWp Industrial Shed Rooftop Solar PV
• 8.11 MWp Ground-Mounted Solar PV
• 758.4 kWp Floating Solar PV
• 8.35 MWh Battery Energy Storage System

This diversified approach maximises renewable energy generation by utilising rooftops, available land, and water surfaces, while battery storage extends the usefulness of solar electricity beyond daylight hours.

The 8.35 MWh BESS was implemented through a collaborative approach with clearly defined responsibilities:

• Akij Bashir Group — Overall Solution, Design & Procurement
• Cynergy Limited — On-Site Installation, Civil & Electrical Works
• Sungrow — BESS Commissioning

Application: Solar Integration, Energy Management & Power Resilience

Milestone: First BESS Deployment of This Scale in Bangladesh

Through its scope, Cynergy handled the complete on-site installation of the BESS, including civil foundation construction, system placement, cable laying, routing, termination, and all associated electrical works.
