Solar Rooftop Power Plant Commercial Scheme

For commercial/industrial use, a solar power system is a renewable energy system which uses PV modules to convert sunlight into electricity. The electricity generated can be stored or used directly, fed back into the grid line or combined with one or more other electricity generators or other renewable energy source. Solar PV systems are a very reliable and clean source of electricity that can suit a wide range of applications.

Components Of Solar Rooftop System

Solar Panel

Solar Panel is an assembly of a number of photovoltaic cells and it is used as a component of a rooftop system to generate and supply DC electricity.

Solar Array

Multiple solar panels connected together form a solar array.

Junction Box

An electrical junction box is a container for electrical connections, usually intended to conceal them from sight and tempering. It also includes terminals for joining cables; its protection degree should be ip65.

Inverter (Grid connected Power Conditioning Unit)

The power conditioning unit (PCU) used in grid connected SPV systems consist of an inverter and other electronics for MPPT, synchronisation and remote monitoring. The inverter is the most complicated part of the PV system. It has to act as an interface between the PV array and the grid. It needs to trip if the frequency of voltage or current goes outside acceptable ranges.

Net Metering Systems

In case of rooftop solar PV systems, the type of metering system is net metering where the focus is on consumption within the owner's rooftop installation (with the grid acting as an energy bank); in such a case the existing utility meter is to be replaced with a bi-directional or import-export meter.

Features

PV System Scheme Of Govt. of Gujarat & MNRE.
Allowed solar capacity: residential consumer- no limit, trust & social sector- up to 50% of sanctioned load, commercial MSME - no limit.
Meter: bi-directional and solar generation meter.
Surplus generation to be paid by DISCOM at APPC (Average Power Purchase Cost of the year of the installed system).
Banking of Energy: per billing cycle.
Wheeling/Transmission charges: No charges
Renewable purchase obligation (RPO): credited to DISCOM

Informations

A 1 kW photovoltaic system would generate an average of 3-4 units (kWh) per day. 320 days are considered sunny days in Gujarat/other states and hence a 1 kW photovoltaic system would generate around 960-1500 units of electricity per year - subject to: *(solar module cleaning twice a week regularly & 365 days availability of electricity).
Ministry of New and Renewable energy shall provide subsidy (CFA).
State government shall provide subsidy.
Connectivity charges of DISCOM and DISCOM agreement and net meter charges on actuals to be paid by customer.
If the required structure is more than 1 feet high then the customer pays extra structure cost.
Company provides 5 meters AC cable and 50 meters DC cable. Extra cable can be provided and shall be charged on actuals.

Electricity Generation By Solar Rooftop System:

A 3.2 kW photovoltaic system would require about 320 square feet of shadow free area. Large photovoltaic systems would require proportionally more space to absorb more sunlight. Hence for example, a 5 kW system would require 500 square feet area.
