    India's first Space Analogue features a unique Solar + Energy Storage design by Sunbuy Renewables, enabling a truly fully off-grid habitat at AAKA Space Studio's Analog Training Center.

    India's First Space Analogue — Powered by the Sun

    India's first Space Analogue is now powered by Sunbuy Renewables — featuring a unique Solar + Energy Storage design that enables a truly fully off-grid habitat. This isn't just a solar installation. It's energy infrastructure for a mission that looks beyond Earth.

    We are proud to support AAKA Space Studio in their mission to build human-centered, sustainable habitats for future space exploration. Our 25 KW Solar Power Plant now fuels their cutting-edge research, strengthening the foundation for sustainable living — on Earth and beyond.

    A Mission Beyond Earth, Grounded in Clean Energy

    AAKA Space Studio's Analog Training Center is India's pioneering facility for simulating space habitat conditions. Researchers and aspiring astronauts train here under controlled environments that mirror the isolation, resource constraints, and operational demands of deep-space missions.

    The energy challenge in such a facility is uniquely demanding. Every system — life support simulation, communication, research equipment, lighting — must function reliably without a grid connection. That's exactly the kind of problem Sunbuy Renewables was built to solve.

    What Makes This Installation Unique

    • 25 KW Solar Power Plant — precisely sized for the habitat's critical loads
    • Integrated Energy Storage — full off-grid capability, day and night
    • Zero grid dependency — mirrors the energy constraints of actual space missions
    • Resilient design — engineered to run uninterrupted through dust, heat, and darkness
    • Designed and installed end-to-end by Sunbuy Renewables, Vadodara

    Energy as a Foundation for Discovery

    What struck us most about this project was the intention behind it. AAKA Space Studio isn't just building a training facility — they're building the blueprint for how humans will live and work in extreme, resource-limited environments. Clean, reliable, self-sufficient energy isn't optional in that vision. It's foundational.

    The solar panels lining the habitat's exterior walls aren't decoration. They're the facility's lifeline — harvesting energy through the day, charging storage systems, and keeping critical systems alive through the night. In many ways, this facility is a real-world test of what off-planet energy systems might look like.

    Sustainable living — on Earth and beyond.

    From Rooftops to the Stars

    This project reflects what Sunbuy Renewables stands for — not just solar installations, but enabling missions. From rooftops across Gujarat to India's first space analogue, we bring clean, reliable energy to places where it matters most. We are grateful to AAKA Space Studio for trusting us with a project this meaningful, and we look forward to supporting more boundary-pushing initiatives in the years ahead.
