SOLAR POWER PLANT (PRODUCTION RATE 10 MWH @ 10 HOURS PER DAY)
[EIRI/EDPR/4530] J.C.: 2747XL
Solar PV power plant consists of SPV modules in arrays (total wattage being 1 kW or more), re-chargeable battery bank, power conditioning unit (inverter & charge controller) etc. When sunlight falls on the SPV module, DC current is produced, which is stored in a battery bank. The inverter converts the DC current from the battery into AC current which, in turn, is used for operating various loads, such as, lights, fans or other electrical appliances in the building, subject to the total load (watts) being restricted to the capacity of the module (Wp).

TYPES OF SOLAR PV POWER PLANT
THERE ARE MAINLY FOUR TYPES OF SOLAR POWER STATIONS
(1) STAND ALONE OR OFF GRID SOLAR POWER PLANT
TYPES OF STANDALONE SOLAR SYSTEMS
DEPENDING UPON THE USE AND DESIGN THERE ARE DIFFERENT TYPES OF STANDALONE SOLAR SYSTEMS
(A) STANDALONE SOLAR (PV) SYSTEM WITH ONLY DC LOAD
(B) STANDALONE SOLAR (PV) SYSTEM WITH DC LOAD AND ELECTRONIC CONTROL CIRCUIT
(C) STANDALONE SOLAR (PV) SYSTEM WITH DC LOAD, ELECTRONIC CONTROL CIRCUIT AND BATTERY
(D) STANDALONE SOLAR (PV) SYSTEM WITH AC/DC LOAD, ELECTRONIC CONTROL CIRCUIT AND BATTERY
IT IS NEEDLESS TO SAY THAT THIS STANDALONE SYSTEM HAS SIX BASIC COMPONENTS
(2) GRID TIE SOLAR POWER STATION
(3) GRID TIE WITH POWER BACKUP SOLAR POWER GENERATION
(4) GRID FALLBACK SOLAR POWER GENERATION
COMPONENT OF PV POWER PLANT
1. PV PANNEL

MAINTENANCE
ET SOLAR RECOMMENDS THE FOLLOWING MAINTENANCE ITEMS TO ENSURE OPTIMAL PERFORMANCE OF THE MODULE:
MARKET POSITION
INDIA – POTENTIAL
ANNUAL INSOLATION
THE MAIN FEATURES OF THE NATIONAL SOLAR MISSION ARE:
GROWTH IN THE INDIAN SOLAR MODULE SEGMENT
OPPORTUNITIES IN THE GLOBAL SOLAR MODULE SEGMENT
DEMAND FOR SOLAR PV MODULES BY YEAR (GW)
WHY SHOULD WE PRODUCE PV MODULES IN INDIA?
ECONOMIC SENSE TO SET UP PV MODULE CAPACITY
THAT’S WHY WE SHOULD SET UP PV MODULE MANUFACTURING IN INDIA THERE ARE FEW MORE BENEFITS TO PRODUCE IN INDIA:
REALISTIC INDIAN SOLAR ENERGY INSTALLATION TARGET
INDIA’S ATTRACTIVENESS IN PV MODULE MANUFACTURING
PV MODULE MANUFACTURING ATTRACTIVENESS LIES ON 4 KEY MEASURES AND ASSIGNED WEIGHTS TO THEM AS FOLLOWS:
THE OTHER PLAYERS RANKED ABOVE INDIA ARE AS FOLLOWS:
OPPORTUNITY LIES AHEAD
INDIA CAN BE A LEADER IN PV MODULE MANUFACTURING
