Question 1: How much does a 100kW commercial solar PV system cost? Answer: A 100kW rooftop system mainly comprised of different components made up of solar PV panels, solar inverter, ACDB, DCDB and many more. These can cost anywhere between INR 40,00,000 to INR 50,00,000 and will depend on the brands you select for Read more
The Mono PERC solar technology is recognised into activity by many solar manufacturers. PERC stands for Passivated Emitter and Rear Cell. This technology differs in term of solar architecture. However, the electrons are collected in top layer of solar cells. In PERC technology, an extra layer at the rear side Read more
Solar inverter is the heart of a solar system as it converts DC electricity into AC electricity. Typically apart from PV module, the largest hardware related expenses are done in solar inverters and accordingly it becomes important to select a right inverter for your rooftop solar application. There are number Read more
U-value Thermal transmittance, also known as U-value, is the rate of transfer of heat energy through a structure, divided by the difference in temperature across that structure. The units of measurement are W/m²K. The better-insulated a structure or material is, the lower the U-value will be. Thermal transmittance takes heat Read more
University of British Columbia researchers have found a cheap, sustainable way to build a solar cell using bacteria that converts light to energy. Their cell generated a current stronger than any previously recorded from such a device, and worked as efficiently in dim light as in bright light. This innovation Read more

The Chhattisgarh State Renewable Energy Development Agency (CREDA) and the State Health Department have collaborated to install, operate, and maintain solar PV systems in 900 health centres across the state, improving health outcomes. The programme is seen as an exemplar of best practices and of interdepartmental collaboration. This is part of a Read more
Softbank-backed SB Energy, AMP Energy and French state-run power major EDF won 600 MW, 100 MW and 300 MW, respectively, at a tariff of Rs 2.50 per unit, while Renew Power won 200 MW at Rs 2.51 per unit. BENGALURU: Solar Energy Corporation of India has auctioned 1,200 MW solar Read more
It was in 2017 that the government announced that a 500 MW solar photovoltaic park would come up at Kadaladi. Former CM J Jayalalithaa had in 2016 announced a 4,000MW thermal power plant at the same site Chennai: In a major setback to Tangedco and the Tamil Nadu government, the Read more
India has evolved from being a power-deficit country to having sufficient power. Further, the Central government’s Saubhagya Scheme is working towards ensuring complete village electrification by 2019. Public– private partnerships (PPP) can help realize that vision by plugging the gaps in the power-supply chain and providing clean, reliable, and affordable Read more
