Solar Power Plant Types:

Off-Grid System: Off-Grid Solar power plants utilize a dedicated battery bank to store excess energy which can be utilized incase of low solar intensity or during night time. The presence of Mains supply from electricity grid is not a mandatory requirement in such systems. However, incase of both Grid supply and Solar energy availability, this system gives priority to FREE Solar power. This system is more suited for areas with erratic & unreliable Grid electricity supply.

On-Grid or Grid-Tied System: A Grid-tied system does not require a battery bank but the presence of Mains supply from electricity grid / Diesel generator is mandatory. As long as Grid electricity is available and Sun is shining, the appliances can be run directly on Solar power. If intensity of Sun rays is low, then some part is grid electricity is also consumed. Although this system is more cost effective than Off-grid system, but it is more suited for areas where Grid electricity supply is reliably available throughout daytime.

Project execution stages:

• System design

  After collecting client requirements, our engineering team designs the Solar power plant ensuring high system efficiency & reliability and low system cost. We do not compromise on system component quality and leverage our technical expertise and extensive experience to suggest the best suited solution to our clients, ensuring lowest cost of energy and highest ROI (Return On Investment).

• Material Procurement

  Once system specifications are finalized after consultation with clients, system components are procured directly from trusted manufacturers and vendors. Since this is the longest phase in any project, our professional approach and long term association with product manufacturers and vendors helps us in ensuring faster project completion time.

• Installation & commissioning

  Our experienced installation team utilizes industry best practices to ensure safe, high quality and professional system installation. We believe that proper system installation is essential for long system life and optimum system energy yield. Once system is commissioned, the client’s in-house maintenance/electrical team is educated about proper system up-keep.

Pradhan Mantri – Surya Ghar Yojana

The government of India is providing financial incentive in form of subsidies for installation of residential solar rooftop power plants in India. This scheme is applicable throughout India and any residential consumer with electricity connection can avail the benefits of this scheme.

The benefits include:

• Central govt. subsidy upto Rs 78,000/-
• State govt. subsidy upto Rs 30,000/- in Uttar Pradesh
• Permission for electricity export to the grid by installing Net meter

The state government subsidy depends on the solar policy of an individual state.

How to apply for Pradhan Mantri – Surya Ghar Yojana

Any interested consumer can apply for rooftop power plant under this scheme by registering on https://www.pmsuryaghar.gov.in/ website. The registration process will create a user account which will be used throughout the installation process for submission of various document and tracking the progress.

Following information is required for the registration:

• State name
• District name
• Electricity distribution company / utility name
• Consumer account number
• Phone number
• Email ID

Once a consumer has registered under this scheme, they are provided an approval for installation of solar power plant on their rooftop. A consumer can install solar power plant maximum upto the capacity of electricity connection that they have from the state electricity provider. The consumer can get their plants installed through any of the empanelled vendors operating in their area. Complete list of authorized vendors is also available on the same website. The consumer can ask for quotations from multiple vendors and then select a suitable vendor for their installation. If required, the consumer can also avail bank loan under this scheme at attractive rates from various banks.  Application process for a bank loan is online, through the same website.

Scope of work for empanelled vendors:

• Procurement of material
• Installation of solar plant as per MNRE guidelines
• Commissioning of the solar plant with GRID AC supply
• Submission of paperwork for Net meter installation
• Submission of request for subsidy disbursement to consumer

The state and central government subsidy is credited directly to the consumer bank account.

Some suggestions for consumers in selecting the right vendor:

• Experience of the vendor is of utmost importance for proper and reliable installation
• Since vendor has to provide 5 year of on-site service, the vendor must be an established firm
• Vendor must have their in-house team for design, procurement, installation and commissioning
• Reference check for earlier installations is a must before selecting a vendor
• Do not go for a vendor promising ultra low rates. The plant should be installed with high grade material with a minimum service life of 15 year
• Finally, select a vendor who you trust can provide you with genuine advice and has good workmanship
