Advantages of Solar Roof Top plants.










 

  • Cost savings
    One of the greatest benefits of installing solar panels on the roof is that they provide cost savings. The tariff quotes for rooftop solar relative to industrial and commercial tariff rates are 17% and 27% lower, respectively. With the trend in solar being that panels keep getting cheaper, industries opting for solar are bound to see gains in the next few years.
  • Reduces carbon foot prints 
  • Solar panels harness sunlight to generate electricity. So, they pose fewer pollution risks to the environment in comparison to conventional sources of energy. Unlike a generator, they run without producing any noise and give out lesser emissions of harmful gases. Furthermore, it is a good source of energy that combats climate change. Thus, rooftop solar is ideal as it reduces carbon footprints.

  • Low maintenance costs
    Rooftop Solar System is a cost-effective system. It simply requires proper cleaning and good maintenance from time to time, which is not even a complicated process. Most solar rooftops have a life expectancy of 25 years which makes them worth the investment. Basically, no major costs are involved.We have a system, an asset management technology that monitors your solar panels’ health and maintenance, so if there is any issue you will be notified immediately.
  • Reduction in electricity bills
    Installing solar panels for home or office use can reduce your electricity bill. A normal electricity connection relies on coal, oil, and natural gas to power homes across the country. By installing panels on your home’s rooftop saves you economically as well as the environment.Of course, each household is unique and has a different solar panel requirement.
  • Suitable for Indian climate
    Our country is situated in such a geographical location that is ideal for receiving ample tropical sunlight. With almost 300 sunny days with clear skies, each year India has one of the best conditions in the world to harness solar energy.
  • No additional space required for installation
    Since the system is installed on the roofs of commercial or residential buildings (as is clear from the name!), they do not require large tracts of land; this concept is both viable and sustainable.This also has an add-on advantage – the resale value of a house will increase when it comes with an installed solar rooftop system!
  • Support from the government
    In order to encourage people to adopt solar energy, the government offers tax credits to those who install rooftop solar panels whether it be for residential or commercial purposes. As per the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy, the government pays 30% of the installation cost as a subsidy to the installer.
  • Role in helping distribution companies (DISCOMs): The rooftop solar model plays an important role in helping distribution companies (DISCOMs) to reduce their peak time demand and simultaneously decrease transmission and distribution losses associated with power consumption at the point of generation. The model also plays a key role in avoiding commercial investments associated with transmission systems. Most importantly, it acts as a consistent, long-term, and reliable source of power for consumers by reducing the dependence on grid power and diesel generators.
  • Offers option of Net-metering: Some states in India are offering Net-metering schemes on solar rooftop model wherein the consumer has the option to sell the excess energy to the grid. This model, apart from encouraging consumers to be
    energy reliant also helps them to generate extra income.

Neutral wire functions in 3 phase - 4 wire system

Image
The power from generating stations is transmitted over long distances through transmission lines to various receiving stations. The power is then distributed to various sub-stations located at various places and localities. The voltage is ultimately stepped down to 400/230 volts i.e. 400 volts for bulk consumers and 230 volts for general domestic consumers. The connections of the  windings of the transformers  installed in the sub-station are in  delta  on the primary side and in  star  on the secondary side.   The distribution is generally single phase two wire and three phase four wire. The voltage between any phase wire and neutral is 230 volts and between any two phase wire is 400 volts. The supply to houses, small offices, shops other premises requiring small loads is taken from the distribution mains at 230 volts with the help of one phase and one neutral wire.     Where supply is to be given to a large establishment like hotels, office...

Difference Between Earthing And Neutral

Image
  Earthing and neutral are two important connections used in wiring, they are an essential part of wiring used for safety purposes, they prevent electrical equipment from the damage due to fluctuations. Before understanding the difference between earthing and neutral, first, let us understand the terms earthing and neutral. To understand what is earthing and neutral point, we will look at a three-pin electrical socket that we use in our everyday life. The current that is supplied for a household is carried by a three-phase circuit. That is the reason every socket used for any electrical equipment is preferred to be three-pin. The three pins correspond to earth, neutral, and phase. The phase line is the one that carries current, the neutral line provides the return path to balance the flow of current, and finally earthing is purely used for safety purposes. Earthing: Earth or ground is a precautionary connection made in AC connections to prevent damage due to fluctuations. The main ...

Transformer Pre-Commissioning Pre-Commissioning tests

 1 .1 Core insulation tests This test is performed to check the  insulation between core and ground . 1.2 Operational checks on protection system Operational checks on: Cooler bank (pumps and fans), Breathers (silica gel or drycol), Temperature gauges (temperature of transformer oil – OTI and the windings temperature – WTI), Gas actuated relays (Buchholz, PRD, SPR etc.) and Simulation test of protection system. 1.3 Insulation resistance (IR) measurement Test reveals the  condition of insulation  (i.e. degree of dryness of paper insulation), presence of any foreign contaminants in oil and also any gross defect inside the transformer (e.g. Failure to remove the temporary transportation bracket on the live portion of tap‐changer part). Insulation resistance tests are performed  to determine the insulation resistance from individual windings to earth or between individual windings . Knowledge of the insulation resistance is of value whe...
