Hyderabad : The world’s 1st & India-made integrated Solar Roofing System is now IEC Standard Compliant and permissible for on grid approvals. ATUM Solar Roof was launched in Dubai by Uncle’s Shop, one of the oldest establishments in Dubai which was established in here in 1922.
Vamsi Gaddam – ATUM Inventor & Joint Managing Director Visaka Industries Limited, stated ‘We are very proud to have received IEC Standard Compliance. It’s a process that has been in the offing for a while and to have finally been approved speaks a lot about our product and the entire team at ATUM and their dedication. Inventing ATUM is an accomplishment I take much pride in. Not only is it an inspired solution to tackle climate change, but the product itself redefines the solar industry due its ability to function both as a roof and solar panel and being far more efficient than traditional panels. Furthermore, for an Indian product like ATUM to be approved for wide use globally shows that we’re on par with the west when it comes to our collective quest for a sustainable planet. I’d also like to extend my thanks to our UAE Partners Uncle’s Shop & its team in helping Visaka gain wide visibility across the U.A.E. & G.C.C.”
Yash Bhatia, Director, Uncle’s Shop stated – “Today we have taken a step ahead into sustainability & green energy as I am delighted to officially announce that our ATUM Solar Roof is now IEC Standard Compliant & I thank the concerned authorities for their support. This will further open doors to a new technology in the Solar Industry specially with its applications with Solar Charging Stations, Logistics Centres, Hospitals, Schools, Car Parking, Green Areas, Commercial & Residential with on grid options. We are extremely happy to be a part of the initiative of HH Shaikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum (UAE Vice President, Prime Minister & Ruler of Dubai) & leaders of UAE to make Emirates sustainable and eco-friendly with new innovations and technologies in the Solar industry during the coming years.”
