Solar power systems can provide green fuel through solar energy captured from sunlight. The key requirements for a 10 kW solar power plant include 120 square meters of available roof space and adequate sunlight. Such a system could generate 1200-1400 units of electricity annually with a return on investment within 6-7 years, and have a lifespan of 25 years with minimal maintenance needs. Net metering credits system owners for excess solar energy fed back into the main power grid, while gross metering exports all generated electricity to the grid. Government subsidies and tax benefits are available to encourage solar power adoption.

6. Requirements
The techno-economic considerations are as detailed below:
• Availability of free roof top space
• Availability of sun
Space Requirements :
The space required for accommodating the 10 kW Solar Power Plant is
about 120 Sq M

• On Grid System
• Off Grid System

10. Power Generation

11. Power Generation Calculations
• Considering 300 Sunny Days and 65 Non
Sunny Days 1 Kwp produces 1200-1400 units
in an year with ROI in 6-7 years
• Life of Solar plant is 25 years
• Minimal maintenance and no running cost

12. Net Metering
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 at any moment of time, if solar energy generation (kWh) is more than
the load requirement at that time, the excess solar energy is fed back to
the main grid and the meter now runs backward. In this case, the system
owner gets credit for the units (kWh) fed back to the main grid. Eg. During
peak sunshine hours

13. Gross Metering
Under gross metering arrangements, all electricity you generate is
exported to the grid. A 'gross' meter measures the total amount of
electricity generated by a renewable energy generator.

14. Subsidies & Benefits
• 15% Subsidy on Residential Projects
• 80% income Tax Depreciation in 1st year on Commercial Projects

15. Lending Facilities
• All Major PSU’s are providing loan facilities for
installing rooftop Solar Plant
