Know, Solar Subsidy of Water Pumps by NABARD & its guidelines.

MNRE has revised its guidelines for procuring subsidy from NABARD for Solar PV systems and Solar Water Pumps in OCT 2014, below are few highlights from the revised guidelines Eligibility Only individuals, SHGs, NGOs and Farmer Groups are eligible under this scheme Benchmark Costs  / Subsidy Percentage – Minimum available subsidy is Rs 24 / Wp Rs 75 / watt Subsidy for systems up-to 300Wp Rs 39 / watt with Battery Power Plant  Rs 24 / watt  without battery bank Rs 28800 / HP for solar water Pumping system  Loan and Margin Money 20% of system cost has to be paid as margin money 40% cost of the system can be financed from the bank in minimum rate with term of 5 years Remain 40 % Subsidy Procedure  Submit an application to procure a loan for Solar home lighting system/Solar water pumping available from NABARD at your local bank After your loan application is approved, you would have to deposit 20% of the margin money, depending on the size of your solar syst

NET METERING for SOLAR POWER PLANT

What  is NET METERING ? As Lobel Solar Net metering is a billing mechanism that credits solar energy system owners for the electricity they add to the grid. Net metering allows residential and commercial customers who generate their own electricity from solar power  to feed electricity they do not use back into the grid. How It Works as per Lobel Solar Power System ? Let’s say that you have a solar Photovoltaic (PV) system installed in your home. That system is generating power, and that power is converted from direct current (DC) to alternating current (AC) via an string inverter or micro inverter so that it can be used throughout your home. However, while you’re away from home; at work and the sun is strongest, not all the energy your home solar PV system generates is actually being used by your home, and this is where net metering comes into play.  Benefits & Advantages of NET Metering Reduction in Energy Bill Become your own Energy Source Less Pay Ba

New Solar Micro Parallel Inverters MPI which Reduce System Costs & Improve Efficiency

New technology Lobel provides is "solar micro parallel inverters" with a thermal survival feature that improves reliability, availability and energy harvest.  This feature is a unique patented power output throttling circuit that protects the MPI against heat-related failures. Other benefits enter due to its abilities to be activated remotely or programed to maximize energy harvest and prevent over generation when limits are imposed. This improved energy harvest increases the payoff associated with using oversized panels. Instead of clipping generation at a set wattage the throttling adjusts generation based on circuit temperature providing the maximum energy harvest for the system’s panels.    With less cabling, a more simplistic just plug and play installation approach, and better activation and monitoring abilities, the micro parallel inverter stands to bridge the gap between micro and string inverters, while reducing the associated installation costs by 75 percent. 

Lobel Solar Water Pumping System

  Submersible Pump Lobel Solar Water Pumping Systems is a stand-alone system operating on power generated by Solar Photovoltaic Panels. The power generated by Solar Panels is used for operating Solar Submersible pump for lifting water from open well, water reservoir or tube well for irrigation and drinking water purpose. The system requires a shadow-free area for installation of the Solar Panels. System Components Solar Photovoltaic Panels Structure & Accessories Solar submersible pump Solar Controller / VFD Special Features of Solar Powered Pump No inverter - D.C. motor connects directly to solar array Rugged construction Simple installation and maintenance Highly reliable Applications Village water supply Livestock watering Water supply to remote homes / agriculture Micro-Irrigation Benefits No conventional grid electricity required Long operating life Highly reliable

Solar Comparison With Other Sources

Thermal : International prices of coal are going up and it’s a non renewable polluting resource Hydro electric : Hydroelectric power projects in India's mountainous north and northeast regions have been slowed down by ecological, environmental and rehabilitation issues, coupled with public interest litigations Nuclear : Polluting Source of Power Generation. Problem of disposal of toxic by product. Globally activists are opposing it due to recent Fukushima disaster in Japan Gas : There is shortage of gas supply. Also gas pricing issues are there. Wind Energy : Benefit of Accelerated Depreciation has been withdrawn by the government Thus, Solar Energy generation emerges as a clear winner Since it is clean non polluting and abundant supply. With rationalization in prices and increased yield and government incentives like  REC  etc., this is the best time to invest in Solar Energy Generation.

Solar Energy Proposition in India

Solar Energy Proposition in India India is blessed with Solar energy Most parts of the country receive very good solar irradiation-especially in states such as Rajasthan, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Harayana, Tamil Nadu etc There after Gujarat is the only State with highest irradiation and available potential According to the national action plan on climate change,” if India were to convert 1% of the 5,000 trillion kilowatt-hour of solar energy that it receives in a year into energy, the country would have enough to meet its energy needs, which are now a growing concern” Economic Value : Mitigates peak energy costs, the energy bills are reduced drastically Obviates the need to build as much additional generation and transmission capacity Geographical Location : India receives adequate Solar radiation for 300 days , amounting to 3000 hours of sunshine Almost all of the regions receive 4-7 KWh of solar radiation per sq meters Irradiation figures

Government Solar PV Policies

Government Policies - What’s happening? Many experts believe solar energy would meet about 15% of global energy requirements by 2050 Indian National Solar Mission- to set up 20GW by 2022 State governments plans over 5GW MP solar energy generation is likely to reach up to 650 MW by the end of 2013 Many Grid opportunities Like solar park developments Solar cities & park will be established all around India State controlled NTPC to add 315 MW solar energy capacity Currently India has slightly above 12 megawatts of grid-connected solar generation capacity developed since 2009 As part of the National Solar Mission, government is eying to boost the annual solar power generation to at least 1,000 megawatts by the year 2013 India National Solar Mission Roadmap S.
