Top 3 Trends in Solar Mounting Systems for 2025
15/05/2025Solar Structure Installation at Kochi Metro Rail Ltd.
Project Overview
While the scope was promising, the project presented multiple challenges — technical complexity, elevation constraints, and a strict budget under a public infrastructure scheme.
Initially, several large solar solution providers expressed interest. However, due to budget constraints and the elevated nature of the site, many reputed brands declined to proceed, citing feasibility concerns.
Strolar accepted the challenge and successfully delivered a custom-engineered solar structure solution within the same limited budget — without compromising on safety, performance, or project timeline.

Client Testimonial
- When we initiated the solar project for our elevated metro yard, we knew it would be a technically challenging site with limited access, continuous operational constraints, and a strict budget framework. Many well-known companies evaluated the project but declined to proceed, citing feasibility and cost limitations. Strolar, however, approached the project with confidence and a clear plan. They delivered a well-engineered, cost-effective solution without compromising safety or quality. The professionalism and technical knowledge their team brought to the table were exceptional. We're extremely satisfied with the outcome and would be happy to collaborate with Strolar again on future sustainability initiatives.” — Project Manager, Kochi Metro Rail Ltd.
