Celestial Towers Condominiums
Blue Horizon Developments, the masterminds behind some of the most iconic urban spaces, came to us with a dream: to create a condo that’s the talk of the town—luxurious, green, and irresistibly livable. They wanted to wow both city-loving millennials and growing families alike.
Project Overview
Project Name
EcoPower Mall
Client Background
A leading retail group in Mumbai committed to reducing operational costs and adopting clean energy approached us to design a solar solution for their premium shopping mall. Their vision was to create a sustainable retail hub powered by renewable energy, while enhancing customer experience.
Objective
Design and install a rooftop solar system with energy storage to provide reliable power, reduce dependence on the grid, lower costs, and establish the mall as a leader in green commercial spaces.

Execution
Phase 1 – Site Assessment
Our team conducted a comprehensive site evaluation to determine the solar potential of the property.
This included a detailed feasibility study, rooftop structural analysis, and advanced shading simulations to identify optimal panel placement.
Phase 2 – System Design
Based on the assessment, we developed a robust 400 kW solar power system plan tailored to the energy needs of the mall.
The design included battery storage integration for reliable backup power, optimized inverter selection for peak performance, and future scalability options.
Our engineering team ensured the design aligned with safety standards, aesthetics, and energy goals.
Phase 3 – Installation
Skilled technicians executed the installation with precision, deploying high-efficiency solar panels and advanced inverters across the rooftop.
The process was carried out with minimal disruption to mall operations, ensuring business continuity.
We adhered to strict safety protocols, streamlined logistics, and maintained a clean installation process for long-lasting performance.
Phase 4 – Testing & Monitoring
After installation, the system underwent rigorous testing and quality checks to confirm functionality, efficiency, and safety compliance.
We launched a smart monitoring platform that provides real-time insights into energy generation, consumption, and cost savings.
This system ensures ongoing performance optimization, preventive maintenance, and reliable tracking of long-term returns.
EcoPower Mall has set a new standard for sustainable retail spaces in Mumbai. The rooftop solar system with integrated storage ensures uninterrupted clean power while significantly reducing costs. The seamless execution and innovative monitoring solutions made this project a true success. Shoppers and tenants alike now enjoy an eco-friendly environment that reflects our vision for a greener future.
