Sand / dust storms are common during the summer season especially in the state of
Rajasthan and a few small checks could go a long way to save someone’s life
Plant Design and Maintenance
- The plant design needs to be robust, with the ability to withstand the highest wind
speed (sustained gust over a 3-second period) over 50 years (~ 180 km/h)
- Carry out scheduled maintenance for the PV plant, tightening of PV modules, MMS,
Cables and detect or avoid any danger
Before and During the Storm
- Pay heed to any Dust storm warning you receive
- Move to a covered location; if not possible move to a higher ground
- Use a mask or wet cloth to cover your face
- Shield yourself from flying objects and stay away from possible hazards – PV
Tables, Switchyard, and HT lines
