Solar energy systems reduce up to 100% your electricity costs,

depending on system size. Utility prices are only going up every
year. Solar energy provides you security from rising electricity
rates and interrupted power supply.

service.

2. About Solar Generation Technology

There is an ideal opportunity for domestic users / SME Units / Corporate sector / Builders / Large HT
users / Colleges and schools / Govt Departments to install SOLAR POWER in their roof top to
produce their own solar power for needs. The recent SOLAR POLICY announced by TN Govt.
encourages the use of solar power to resolve Power crisis situation for EVER.
There are two possibilities to Generate power from Solar Energy
Roof Top System In this segment, you can install solar power plant on your roof, produce
electricity in the day time and directly convert them into AC power and use for loads during day time
or export to Grid and save on EB Bills. This system is most common for applications above 100 KW
upto MW size. In this system, you can only use solar power when produced and not stored at all.
Off Grid System In this segment, you can install solar power plant on your roof top, generate
electricity and store it in the battery. The system functions in such a manner the battery is charged
priority by solar power and if not by EB power. When the battery is full, if the solar power is available
then the load is connected to solar power even when EB power is available. When solar is not
available, if the battery is full the load is connected to EB power if available. When both Solar and
EB power is not available the load is supplied from battery. Generally these systems are highly
suitable for power cut situations and for capacities ranging from 1 KW to 100 KW.

Column (5) is arrived by multiplying Column (2), (3) and (4).

This means that you need a solar system which can generate col (5) in a day.
Please note the Total Watt Hours which is the result of the chart and you can correlate this with the
Technical Specification Chart in the Generation per day column given below and find what will be the
size of your system requirement.
The battery sizing depends on the load which will be used during non sunny hours.
Therefore, the first thing a user must do is to prepare the load chart as above. Please do not take
into account 3 phase appliances or Air conditioner as they will consume more energy and
economically unviable.

4. Site Feasibility
A shadow free space (area based on system capacity) should be available in the roof top facing
South direction (North direction can be selected if South direction is not feasible). The roof can be
Flat / Angular facing south. It needs to have the approach to clean periodically. Inverters and
Batteries will be kept nearer to the Main Distribution Box. The load of each block in the building
should be calculated separately. The weight of a solar module will be about 0.20 kg per watt.

6. Subsidy Details
MNRE under JNNSM programme is offering capital subsidy to individuals as well as to commercial
users. The subsidy is calculated at Rs. 60/- per watt on Solar Panel Capacity or 30% of system cost
whichever is less. This is the scheme of Govt. of India and is applicable to all the States in India.
The subsidy is processed through State Nodal agencies across India and it is through Tamil Nadu
Energy Development Agency (TEDA) in Tamil Nadu. For details please visit www.mnre.gov.in or
www.teda.in
The subsidy is applicable on re-imbursement mode as per the policy. But to speed up the process
of subsidy to the individual customers TEDA is accepting the applications through online and has
taken necessary steps to issue the sanction instantly. For all the systems we will supply the system
reducing the subsidy, AFTER we receive the sanction letter from the Government. If the subsidy
amount is less than Rs. 60 / W, the difference will be paid by the user. If the subsidy amt is higher
than Rs. 60/ w it will returned to the customer.
In case of any additional Subsidy from State Government, all the necessary papers will be
documented by us and you will receive the subsidy directly as applicable.
