Residents in Chalisgaon village, Jalgaon district of Maharashtra, India can now use the clean energy generated by the Maharashtra solar plant, thanks to strategic cooperation between the JBM Group, a leader in solar energy generation and LONGi, the world's leading solar manufacturer. 

Covering an area of 600 acres, the solar plant is the largest in Maharashtra, with a capacity of 135 megawatts. LONGi is the exclusive module supplier selected for its high efficiency monocrystalline modules and the quality of its product. The plant was connected to grid in June 2018 and has generated cumulative power of about 280 million kilowatt hours since inception.
