It covers an area of {{convert|306|acres|abbr=off|lk=on}} and supplies about 126,000 people with energy. Part of the plant uses a seasonal tracking system with the remaining using a horizontal single axis tracking system, using polycrystalline solar PV technology. The produced electricity is taken by [[Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Company Limited]] and [[Solar Energy Corporation of India]] (SECI). The solar park was constructed using 207,015 solar modules.<ref>[http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2014-10-09/kotak-mahindra-eib-to-invest-in-india-s-solararise Business: Kotak Mahindra, EIB to Invest in India’s SolarArise], Bloomberg, issue of 2014, october, 9.

India has a target of developing {{convert|22000|MW|e9Btu/h|abbr=unit|lk=on}} of solar power plants and an additional {{convert|8000|MW|e9Btu/h|abbr=unit}} is expected in local generation, bringing the total to {{convert|30000|MW|e9Btu/h|abbr=unit}} by 2022, which was later increased to 100,000 megawatts.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://pib.nic.in/newsite/PrintRelease.aspx?relid=122566|title=Revision of cumulative targets under National Solar Mission from 20,000 MW by 2021–22 to 1,00,000 MW|last=|first=|date=|website=pib.nic.in|archive-url=|archive-date=|access-date=2017-03-27}}</ref><br />
