Solar Photovoltaic
PV system, is a power system designed to supply usable solar power by means of photovoltaic's. It consists of an arrangement of several components, including solar panels to absorb and convert sunlight into electricity, a solar inverter to change the electric current from DC to AC, as well as mounting, cabling and other electrical accessories to set up a working system.
ON Grid Application
On Grid Solar System. The on-grid solar system also known as grid tie or connected solar system. ... If system is producing more power than is being consumed, the surplus is fed into the main electrical grid via solar net metering.
Net Meter
Net metering is a billing mechanism that credits solar energy system owners for the electricity they add to the grid. For example, if a residential customer has a PV system on the home's rooftop, it may
generate more electricity than the home uses during daylight hours. If the home is net-metered, the electricity meter will run backwards to provide a credit against what electricity is consumed
at night.
What is Net Metering
Net metering is the process through which you attain a “dual-benefit “by installing a solar power plant on the roof, open space, walls of the building to generate electricity.
Generated power is first used in the building as per the requirement and the surplus power is fed to the grid of utility.
Who can install
Consumers of electricity having minimum sanctioned load of 1.25KW and maximum of 12.50 MW who intend to generate their own electricity and desire to contribute towards environmental protection can install Solar PV plants on Roof-Tops/ Walls/Open area of Individual households, Industries,commercial establishments, institutions, residential complexes, Schools, Colleges, Hospitals, sheds,cold stores, govt. and semi-govt. buildings, etc.
What is the Procedure for Net Metering
1.Submission of Application
For installation of solar power plant the applicant has to register/apply online at anyone the sites with copy of latest electricity bill and available shadow free area at the top of roof/ walls/ open space within the compound.
Period of Time ::3 weeks
Approval For Installation
After verification, Discom will give online approval to the applicant for installation of required capacity Solar Power Plant.
• Period of Time: 120 days
Processing Fee & Signing of Agreement with Discom
The consumer intending to setup Roof Top solar power plant shall deposit the processing fee of Rs. 50 per KVA or part there of subject to maximum of Rs.10000 in the concerned DS/ Sub Division office of
Discom on first come first serve basis. The consumer shall also sign supplementary agreement with Discom.
Installation of Solar Power Plant
After approval from Discom, applicant will contact Medors to install solar power plant and submit online work completion report along with photograph of the system and single line diagram of the synchronizing and protection arrangements.
Installation of Bi-directional Meter
After receiving project completion report, Bi-directional meter would be installed at the premises of the beneficiary by Discom. For this, applicant has to deposit prescribed fee of Bi-Directional meter at Sub Divisional Office of Discom.
Release of Subsidy
After installation of Bi-directional meter the plant shall be treated as commissioned and the beneficiary will apply online for release of subsidy to SNA along with the work completion report duly verified by
Discom.
Banking Mechanism And Billing
Discom shall take energy meter readings for import or drawl and export or injection of power and work out the net energy flow quantum from or to the consumer. In case the net flow is towards the Discom i.e. the consumer has injected/exported the net surplus energy to the Discom system, such quantum will be treated as energy banked by the consumer with Discom in the current billing cycle.
Discom Tariff
The Energy Bill for import will be prepared as per the retail supply tariff as approved by the CERC for the category to which the consumer belongs. The energy exported to Discom from the rooftop Solar PV system shall be set-off against the energy imported from the Discom grid at the CERC approved retail supply tariff applicable to the particular consumer category.
