Technology

Did you know that the amount of sunlight that strikes the earth's surface in an hour and a half is enough to handle the entire world's energy consumption for a full year. Solar energy has amazing potential to power our daily lives thanks to constantly-improving technologies.

Solar energy systems come in all shapes and sizes. Residential systems are found on rooftops across India and businesses are also opting to install solar panels to offset their energy costs. Utilities, too, are building large solar power plants to provide cleaner energy to all customers connected to the grid.

Solar plants works on simple principle of photo voltaic, converting sunlight incident on solar panel into electricity. A grid-connected photo voltaic power system is an electricity generating solar PV power system that is connected to the utility grid. A grid-connected PV system consists of solar panels, one or several inverters, and grid connection equipment. They range from small residential and commercial rooftop systems to large utility-scale solar power stations.

Optimiser Based Power Plant

  • With time and advancement in the technology, our optimiser based technology gives monitoring at module level, eliminating every risk of non-functioning of the power plant.
  • Identifying solar panel as the highest invested component in the solar plant, our technology ensures that the module used in the plant is generating upto its designed efficiency and de-rating of the panel is as per manufacturer’s datasheet and warranty card.
  • Our technology totally eliminated risk of non-performance of power plants and module mismatch. Our technology can be embedded in new as well as existing power plants. Our technology innovation is also backed by our strong technology partners and driven by innovation.

Features

  • Maximum power point tracking per module.
  • Module level safety and monitoring.
  • Remote monitoring for 25 years.
  • Module level shutdown in case of emergency with inbuild safe DC.
  • SafeDC feature helps in easy installation with electrical shock.
  • Flexible design and helps in maximum utilisation of roof.
  • Different rating panel can be used in same string in case of module replacement.
  • Eliminates the risk of low output due to shadow, module mismatch and uneven panel aging.

Benefit

Government Benefits

  • Accelerated Depreciation AD benefit of 90% is available with 80% that can be claimed in first year of the installation to commercial and non commercial entities. It allows them to reduce their taxable profit in a given year.
  • Electricity Duty ED exemption is available for 10 years to the entities installing solar power plant for captive consumption.
  • Net Metering The state facilitates net metering scheme on government, residential, industrial and commercial building, with government buying the surplus amount of energy that the premise is producing.
  • Central Financial Assistance Capital subsidy of 15% is available for institution and home owners for installation for solar power plant.

Social Benefits

  • Investing in Green solar power, you show your concern to environmental consciousness and accountability. Customers, employees, and investors are more likely to work with organizations who adopt sustainable practices as part of their CSR responsibilities. Also you are lowering your carbon footprint and helping combat global climate change and reducing our dependence on foreign energy and fossil fuels.
