'''Karnataka II solar park''' is a 27 [[megawatt]] (MWAC) [[photovoltaic power station]] under construction. It is expected to achieve commercial operations during Q3 2019.<ref>[https://www.thomas-lloyd.com/en/portfolio-item/karnataka-ii Thomas Lloyd Group: Karnataka II]</ref> The construction site is located in the south of Kerehalli Village in the [[Koppal District]] of the Indian state of [[Karnataka]]. It is about 60 km southeast to its sister project [[Karnataka I solar power plant|Karnataka I]].

It covers {{convert|120|acres|abbr=off|lk=on}} and will supply about 42,000 people with energy. The solar panels are built in fixed tilt mounting structure, using polycrystalline solar PV technology. The solar park is named after the state of Karnataka and will be constructed from 82,431 solar modules, when operational.<ref>[https://www.thomas-lloyd.com/en/portfolio-item/karnataka-i Thomas Lloyd Group: Karnataka I]</ref> The estimated reduction of CO2 is more than 16,000 metric tons per year.

The owner is Solar Arise Limited, whose main shareholder is Thomas Lloyd Group. Co-investors at Solar Arise Limited are European Investment Bank (EIB) and Kotak Mahindra Group.<ref>[http://www.fiinews.com/thomaslloyd-takes-stake-solararise ThomasLloyd takes stake in SolarArise] Foreign Investors on India, issue of 2018, october, 10.
