Technology Scenario
Introduction
‘Photovoltaic’ is a merger of two words: ‘photo’, from Greek roots, meaning light, and ‘voltaic’, from
‘volt’, which is the unit to measure electric potential at a given point. Photovoltaic system use cells to
convert solar radiation into electricity. The cell consists of one or two layers of a semi-conducting
material. When light shines on the cell it creates field across the layers causing electricity to flow. The
greater the intensity of the light, the greater the flow of electricity is.
A photovoltaic system therefore does not need bright sunlight in order to operate. It can also generate
electricity on cloudy days. Due to the reflection of sunlight, slightly cloudy days can even result in higher
energy yields than days with a completely cloudless sky.
Why Solar?
While a majority of the world's current electricity supply is generated from fossil fuels such as coal, oil
and natural gas, these traditional energy sources face a number of challenges including rising prices,
security concerns over dependence on imports from a limited number of countries which have
significant fossil fuel supplies, and growing environmental concerns over the climate change risks
associated with power generation using fossil fuels. As a result of these and other challenges facing
traditional energy sources, governments, businesses and consumers are increasingly supporting the
development of alternative energy sources and new technologies for electricity generation. Renewable
energy sources such as solar, biomass, geothermal, hydroelectric and wind power generation have
emerged as potential alternatives Switch Solar power .As opposed to fossil fuels, which draw on finite
resources that may eventually become too expensive to retrieve, renewable energy sources are
generally unlimited in availability. Solar power generation has emerged as one of the most rapidly
growing renewable sources of electricity. Solar power generation has several advantages over other
forms of electricity generation:
Reduced Dependence on Fossil Fuels. Solar energy production does not require fossil fuels and is
therefore less dependent on this limited and expensive natural resource.
Environmental Advantages. Solar power production generates electricity with a limited impact on the
environment as compared to other forms of electricity production.
Matching Peak Time Output with Peak Time Demand. Solar energy can effectively supplement
electricity supply from an electricity transmission grid, such as when electricity demand peaks in the
summer Modularity and Scalability. As the size and generating capacity of a solar system are a function
of the number of solar modules installed, applications of solar technology are readily scalable and
versatile.

Government Incentives. A growing number of countries have established incentive programs for the
development of solar and other renewable energy sources, such as (I) net metering laws that allow on-grid
end users to sell electricity back to the grid at retail prices, (ii) direct subsidies to end users (iii) low
interest loans for financing solar power systems and tax incentives; and (iv) government standards that
mandate minimum usage levels of renewable energy sources.
Net metering plays a very vital role in India – a country where there is a lot of variation in terms of
available sunlight, usable electricity, distribution channels etc. If India aims to achieve its energy
security by 2022, Net metering is specially crucial. Net metering has been successfully implemented
in places like Delhi, Punjab, Uttarakhand, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Gujarat, Bihar,
West Bengal and Tamil Nadu.
As a consumer, the biggest advantage with net metering is the ability to drastically reduce the
electricity bills. This is one of the most important aspects that attract users towards net metering.
While some people may argue that net metering might not be a favorable thing for electric
Page 10 of 26
companies, the real story is different – during peak hours the electricity grid is actually supported
by consumers that have opted for net metering – since there is more electricity being produced, the
overall load on the energy company is greatly reduced.
All net metering consumers are limited by capacity – which means consumers are allowed to push
back the same amount of electricity that is sanctioned to their line. By limiting the capacity and
amount of electricity that can be pumped back into the system, the generation of electricity and
greatly controlled and regulated in a proper way. Consumers that have availed net metering will also
be required to install two reading meters at their premises. One of these meters is going to be to
manage and monitor the amount of electricity being consumed, the other meter is going to be for the
amount of electricity that is being produced by the solar panels. Both these meters will be monitored
by the Government to make sure there is no foul play. Furthermore, the electricity generation will be
capped on these setups, the generation of electricity is capped to 90% of the total consumption of
electricity. Any electricity that is produced above this 90% is considered as free energy and will not
be offset against the consumer’s consumption.
Net metering is a great concept if utilized to its full potential, a country like India with its vast
available land and sunlight can benefit a lot from the process of net metering. This concept has been
a proven model in many places in Europe, we hope it’s a similar story in India as well.

Solar PV Module
PV Module A solar panel (also solar module, photovoltaic module or photovoltaic panel) is a, connected
assembly of solar cell. The solar panel can be used as a component of a larger photovoltaic system to
generate and supply solar power in commercial and residential applications. Each panel is rated by its DC
output power under standard test conditions, and typically ranges from 100 to 450 watts. The solar cell
efficiency of a panel determines the area of a panel given the same rated output - an 8% efficient 230 watt
panel will have twice the area of a 16% efficient 230 watt panel. Because a single solar panel can produce
only a limited amount of power, most installations contain multiple panels. Electrical connections are
made series to achieve a desired output voltage and/or parallel to provide a desired current capability.
Separate Diode may be needed to avoid reverse currents, in case of partial or total shading, and at night.
Reverse currents waste power and can also lead to overheating of shaded cells. Solar cells become less
efficient at higher temperatures and installers try to provide good ventilation behind solar panels.

INVERTER
Solar inverter converts the DC power to AC power to facilitate feeding into the grid. The inverter is the
most complicated part of the PV system. It has to act as the interface between the PV array and the Grid.
As the PV array output varies with the solar radiation and the inverter has to cope with the same. The
inverter has protection features for overvoltage, under voltage, surge etc. The inverter is provided with the
features for logging and display of parameters related to Plant operation & faults etc. The inverter will use
MPPT to maximize energy drawn from the array. The MPPT will be microprocessor based to minimize
power losses. The output from the inverter will be fed to the AC distribution Board.
● Converting the incoming DC received from PV modules into AC with suitable power quality.
The inverter produces sinusoidal AC wave forms with low harmonic distortion.
Page 13 of 26
● The inverter also has to act as a protective device of the system. It needs to trip out if the voltage,
current or frequency goes outside acceptable ranges.
● Pulse width modulation is used to generate a wave form as near as possible to a sine wave.
● High speed switching device are used to generate pulses of the devices mainly used for inverter
circuitry. Inverter efficiency is expected to be about 98% mainly by deploying new switching
topologies

Structure
Solar Photovoltaic panels connected in series and in
parallel giving a DC output out based on incident
irradiance. Intensity of the sunlight will be maximum
utilized when incident irradiation is perpendicular to
PV module, hence Orientation and tilt of these panels
are important design parameters, as well as shading
from surrounding obstructions. Structures will be made
of galvanized mild steel/ aluminum based on site soil
and wind load parameters. Suitable number of Array
frames will be provided based on the design and site
requirements. The array frames proposed for the site
would typically utilize maximum sunlight with a
different tilt angle capability and these array frames will be corrosion free. The array frames are designed
for simplicity, low cost and ease of installation at site. The Structure consists of a set of components that
can be managed and mounted in the place where the installation is going to be realized. These structures
are designed to survive adverse weather conditions with minimum maintenance. The structure will be
supplied with all members to be compatible allowing easy installation at the site.
Cables
The unique capability of wire harness of connecting parallel
strings eliminates the use of array junction box. It provides a
more simpler and safer solution. 2 wire harness are used in
each array one for connecting all the positive terminals at
one side and negative terminals at the other side.
