Banishing The General Myths About Solar Power

by vemcoblogs -

If you are looking for ways in which you can be ‘energy smart’ with renewable energy sources that could lessen the effects of global warming on our environment, opt for solar energy. It is a truly sustainable source and has gained popularity across the globe. While solar panels are becoming a popular choice for many, some are still sceptical about it. We are here to help you find out the truth behind some of the common myths.

Solar energy is too expensive

Over the last 10 years, investment in solar energy has been increasing, and the price of solar electricity has dropped by 89%. In India for example, in July 2020, solar power tariff was INR 2.36 per unit, in an auction of 2 GW capacities by the Solar Energy Corporation of India. Significant technological advancements and increased adoption of solar energy has, over time, made production more efficient, reliable, and scalable. That has eventually made it cheaper than energy produced from coal. 

Solar panel installation is too complex and demands a lot of maintenance

The installation of solar panels is as simple as installing any other household appliance, and can be completed in a week by a reliable manufacturer. The panels would need a periodic light cleaning to get rid of the debris, leaves or dust that might obstruct the sun’s rays. A battery-based system might need more cleaning and are relatively more expensive than a system without batteries. 

Solar panels do not work in all weather conditions

It’s a very common misconception that solar panels produce little or no energy during winter. Solar panels can withstand harsh weather conditions and are, in fact, extremely efficient in colder temperatures. For solar panels to generate electricity, you only need one thing — sunshine. Solar energy systems and solar panels are not powered by heat but light. So, regardless of the temperature, solar panels will continue to produce energy as long as they receive sunlight. However, the output will be slightly lower during winter than summer. 

Do the prices of solar panels depend on the size of your home?

The installation of a home solar plant will depend largely on the energy consumption pattern of the household rather than the size of a house. Accordingly, the number of solar panels required will have to be calculated. Based on the number of panels, space availability, and your choice between off-grid and grid-connected power plants, the price will be ascertained.

If we can use clean coal, why invest in solar energy?

Solar power is one of the cleanest forms of renewable energy. Unlike fossil fuels, generating electricity from the sun’s rays does not harm the environment. No harmful substances are released and there are no carbon emissions or pollutants. On the other hand, there is no such thing as ‘clean coal’, and both coal mining and coal-fired power plants affect the environment adversely. 

Hope we managed to debunk some of the common myths about solar energy. It’s time to choose clean and sustainable forms of energy and solar is one of the best options.

Future Of Solar Energy Looks Brighter Than Sunshine

by vemcoblogs -

Solar energy is clean, renewable, and can provide for a significant proportion of our energy requirements with the help of the latest technologies. According to International Energy Agency, it is, in fact, the cheapest form of electricity in history!

What’s the current state of solar?

According to Ministry of New and Renewable Energy, Government of India, India has achieved 5th position globally, in solar power deployment, and the solar tariff in India is very competitive and has achieved grid parity. The country’s solar power capacity has increased by more than 11 times in the last five years, from 2.6 GW in March 2014 to 30 GW in July 2019. 

If we succeed in improving production further, the energy systems like solar farms and CSP (concentrating solar power) plants would not only be considered as valuable energy resources, but also help create more energy than fossil fuels. It will also help reduce carbon emissions significantly.

Solar energy storage

The success of future energy systems depends on solar energy storage as it can store excess solar power onsite, which can be utilised later, when the sun isn’t shining. However, these systems have expensive lithium-ion batteries, which makes them heavy on the pocket. So, if the cost can be brought down and efficiency can be increased, the installation of these battery storages will become more commonplace in the future.

Floating solar farms

India is about to start work on the world’s largest floating solar energy project at Omkareshwar dam on the Narmada river. The project is expected to produce 600 MW solar energy starting 2022-23. A 100 MW floating plant is expected to become operational in Telengana soon. Spread over 450 acres, the project will have 4.5 lakh photovoltaic panels, and will be scalable in the future. 

Floating solar farms can help preserve land for agricultural and terrestrial ecosystems. It will also help countries that lack adequate land build utility-scale solar farms.

The future of solar panels: The Tesla Solar Roof

Going solar can reduce your electricity bill considerably. While rooftop solar installations are extremely beneficial, many may not like the way in which it changes the look of their homes. To solve this issue, companies like Tesla, are working on making the future solar panels more aesthetically pleasing, so that it could blend in with its surroundings.

Landowners and developers

Increased demand for solar energy can be a great opportunity for land owners, who can lease out their land for solar projects, in exchange for money. This would be a win-win situation for both property owners and solar project developers.

Solar energy is one of the most inexpensive and sustainable forms of power on the planet. With advancements in technology and encouraging government policies, we are all hopeful about a brighter future for the solar industry. That would also mean lesser pollution, reduced use of fossil fuels, lesser carbon emission, and a cleaner future for all of us. If you are keen on leveraging the advantages of solar energy, just contact us on +91 98199 07445.

Solar Net Metering VS Gross Metering

by vemcoblogs -

It’s 2021 and generating electricity has become easier than ever, with solar energy. While solar power is economical, storing electricity is quite expensive. Therefore, solar panel systems are often connected to the electric grid. So, if you are an on-grid solar consumer, whose rooftop systems are connected to the grid, then there are two ways of metering defined by the government – Net Metering and Gross Metering.

Net Metering

This is an arrangement where the exported solar power is adjusted against the imported energy in the electricity bill. Basically, if the electricity consumed by the user is more than the amount of electricity produced, then it is imported from the grid. On the other hand, if the amount of solar power generated is more than what is consumed by the owner, then they get compensated for the excess amount. For instance, if you use 10 units a day while the electricity generated by your rooftop system is only 6 units, then it will reflect that 4 units have been imported from the grid. Meanwhile, if you use only six units and produce 10 units a day, you will be compensated for the excess power, depending on the rate that is fixed by the state’s electricity regulatory commission. This arrangement can be done on a monthly, half-yearly or annual basis.

Gross Metering

In gross metering, a consumer won’t be able to directly use the electricity that is generated by their rooftop system. This is because the solar power generated is directly fed to the supply grid through a different circuit and the energy required for consumption is imported from the grid. Now that there are two circuits, you will have two meters – one that records the consumption of electricity and the other for production. So, your bill for the amount of electricity you consume will continue to be the same. But, you will be compensated for the total number of units of solar energy produced and fed into the supply grid at a fixed feed-in-tariff (FiT) — the payment for electricity exported to the grid from a renewable energy source.

Gross Metering or Net Metering?

When it comes to financial benefits and high energy requirements, gross metering seems more beneficial than net metering because the return on investment (ROI) from gross metering is fixed and so is the amount of solar power produced and exported. The ROI from net metering arrangement depends on the amount of solar energy you save. If you’re looking at installing a system sometime soon, you might not want to opt for gross metering given its present tariff rates, which are quite high. 

If you’re looking at long term benefits, it is advisable to choose net metering. With gross metering, you’ll be billed twice — once for your cumulative electricity consumption and then for the solar power your system generated and fed into the supply grid. In net metering, only one bill is generated and it gives you a measure of the total consumption of electricity as well as energy production.

However, it is recommended to get a cost comparison done from a professional before you make a purchase. At VEMCO Solar (Check out our solar story), we offer end-to-end EPC services to our valued clients. We have empanelled channel partners with the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy, Government of India, for solar PV rooftop, small power plant system integrators and installation.

5 Solar Panel Technologies Shaping the Future Of Solar Power

by vemcoblogs -

Solar is already the world’s fastest-growing energy technology. It is cost-efficient and scalable and now, with new solar panel technologies, the future looks bright for renewable energy as it promises to improve efficiency and lower costs further.

Here are five solar technologies that are likely to impact the solar industry.

Floating Solar Farms 

Floating solar farms, also known as floatovoltaics, are a new and efficient way of solar plant installations on ponds, lakes, and man-made dam reservoirs instead of being fixed on the ground. They not only offer greater efficiency but also cost less to install than traditional land-based solar panels. Floatovoltaics can help generate large amounts of electricity without taking up valuable real estate, produce clean solar power, and prevent noxious algae production (which reduces water treatment costs), among other things. Also, the power production of floatovoltaics is high because floating solar panels are surrounded by water bodies which act as natural coolants improving efficiency rates and minimising energy waste.

BIPV Solar Technology

BIPV (building-integrated photovoltaics) systems comprise photovoltaic (PV) materials that can be integrated into the structure of a building such as roofs, skylights, canopies, curtain walls, or facades, during the initial construction. BIPV solar technology has two purposes — while it serves as the outer layer of a building/structure and generates electricity for onsite use, it also exports electricity to the power grid so that it can be utilised later. BIPV installations significantly reduce operational carbon emissions of buildings, produce on-site clean electricity without additional land area, enhance the visual appearance of buildings, and reduce electricity consumption.

Solar Skin

Conscious homeowners, who feel that solar panels interfere with their home’s aesthetic appeal, can now go green with solar skins. This PV technology uses selective light filtration so that the sunlight is filtered and reached the solar cells beneath. Not only homes, solar skins can work well for businesses and offices too – they are customisable and display anything you want, be it a type of roof or logos, advertisements, and flags. With a rail-less racking system and fine finish, solar skins are aesthetically pleasing.

Solar Fabric

Solar fabric technology combines flexible solar panels with fabric to create a canopy that generates electricity when exposed to light. When PV cells are embedded into your t-shirts, stoles, winter coats, or other garments, it will not just keep you warm, but also power your phone and supply energy for other needs while you’re on the move. With development and advancement of solar fabric technology, it will help save on installation costs and solar panel mounting.

PVNB Technology

The PVNB (photovoltaic solar noise barriers) are technologies that aim to lower noise levels, shield sensitive receptors from noise generated by road traffic and produce clean and sustainable energy. This technology can help with soundproofing (especially areas near railway and road infrastructure), light transmission, resisting weathering and UV rays, and generating energy sustainably.  Would you like to know how you can use solar energy to your advantage?

What is the Importance of a Solar Panel Mounting Structure?

by vemcoblogs -

The demand for solar power is increasing worldwide as more and more countries are capitalizing on the benefits of this form of sustainable energy. For a solar power plant to operate successfully, the installation must be done right and the mounting structure plays a crucial role in that. This structure is support that holds the solar panels on roofs, building facades, or on the ground. If anything goes wrong with the structure, it would affect the entire solar project (which is ideally expected to be working for at least 20-25 years).

So, let’s take a look at the factors to be kept in mind.

Angle 

Paying attention to the orientation and placement of solar panels is vital. For a fixed roof-mounted solar energy system, the angle should be equal to the latitude of the installation site. Generally, pitch angles between 30 and 45 degrees are suitable for most locations. That helps ensure that the panels produce maximum energy while they are being exposed to the highest intensity of sunlight for a long period of time.

Direction

Since there is maximum sunlight in the south, it is advised that you place your solar panels facing south. While east and west work well too, north is one direction that might not work well.

Location

Given that different parts of the earth receive sunlight for different lengths of time, you must check your latitudinal and longitudinal location. One of the simplest ways to locate the latitude and longitude of your location would be to open Google Maps and right-click on the place.

Shade Area

Solar panels work best when there is no shade cast upon them. So, ensure that there are no shadow areas or trees, or structures that can cast a shadow, around. In fact, even if a single solar panel in the solar array is covered by a shade, the output of the whole system will be compromised.

Surface of Installation

Ahead of installing the solar panels, make sure that the surface is smooth and sturdy, and can carry the weight of the whole solar panel system. 

Solar panel supplier

Although a mounting structure looks like easy work, it involves certain technicalities. Therefore, it’s advised to purchase the mounting structure from a solar panel manufacturer. 

Check out the pros of buying a mounting structure from a solar panel supplier:

Customized stand: A solar company can customize a stand according to specific requirements such as the structure of the stand, positioning of holes, and customizing the weight, height, and length.

Installation service: When you buy a mounting structure from a solar company, they not only provide you with installation service but also make sure that the installation is safe and secure. They also test it for you.

Consultation: The representative from a solar company has the required knowledge about installations and check the latitudinal and longitudinal location, direction, and angle, ensuring better performance of the solar panels. They can also guide a customer with everything they need to know.

Don’t get confused by the wide range of mounting structures available in the market. Preferably, consult an expert who will be able to guide you, based on your requirements.

On-Grid Solar Could Change The Face Of The Energy Industry In India

by vemcoblogs -

Solar power is one of the most sustainable forms of energy. When you install a solar system, you choose from 3 types of solar power systems – On-Grid, Off-Grid and Hybrid. However, most consumers prefer on-grid solar systems to enjoy the benefits of net metering policies and avail credit on their electricity bills.

What is an on-grid solar system? 

An on-grid solar system or a grid-tied system is a solar power generation system that is connected to the local utility grid. This is the popular choice for corporates and commercial consumption as individual fluctuations – lesser or more – in energy production, get covered by the utility grid. Excess energy is sent to the grid’s power company in exchange for credit which can be cashed out at the end of a year. This is called net metering. As per the feed-in-tariff rates in your vicinity, you’ll be compensated for the extra power fed back to the grid. On the other hand, if your solar electric system is producing less power than you need, you can draw additional power from the grid. On-grid system also does away with the need to install battery back-ups. 

How much does an on-grid solar system cost?

An on-grid solar system costs around INR 45,000 to INR 65,000 per Kilowatt in India but the price varies according to the brand you chose. On an average, the on-grid rooftop solar system will cost you about Rs. 75 per watt.

Benefits of on-grid solar system

The various benefits include:

  • Significant reduction in electricity bills
  • Hassle-free installation
  • Easy maintenance as the system does not require batteries 
  • Longer life than an off-grid system
  • Government subsidies on installation of grid-tied rooftop solar systems
  • Advantage of net metering

How to get a subsidy?

Do you own an electricity meter? Do you have a valid identity proof and property papers to go through the installation of a grid-connected and battery-less solar system? 

If your answer to both the questions is yes, then you are entitled to claim for subsidies and other incentives from the government. 

However, the only thing to keep in mind is that an on-grid solar system won’t perform or generate electricity during a power outage. If the on-grid system continues to supply energy to the grid, the lives of the people working on the damaged grid will be at great risk.

There are several advantages of installing an on-grid solar system, which is why, many business owners, organisations and corporate customers are shifting to this eco-friendly lifestyle. By installing a grid-connected solar system, you are not only choosing an eco-friendly life, but also availing of credits on your electricity bills, courtesy net meters. Currently, this program is a huge success in Spain, Australia, Canada, Denmark, Italy and The United States. In India, it is still in the process but it is expected that very soon, on-grid solar power systems will change the face of the energy industry in the country.If you need a trusted partner who can help you switch to solar in a hassle-free way, VEMCO Solar is there for you.

6 Things to Ask Solar Consultant

by vemcoblogs -

It is really important to let your guards down and learn everything about solar panels before you plan to get one for your residential or commercial space. Well, having a direct chat with solar consultants might be your guide over here. As they are associated with this field for a pretty long time, you can expect to get quality responses to all your queries. So, let’s learn about the 6 things that you should primarily ask your consultant, especially from Vijay Engineering and Machinery Company (VEMC).

1.Don’t forget to ask about the Financial Options:

Can you benefit from that tax credit? Does the solar energy consultant have any lease option or competitive loan by his side for the clients? Most companies will push for the Power Purchase Agreement. It will make your solar contractor the electric company. It means you are not going to own the system and just need to pay for the power it produces for your place. But, the solar contractor has every right to raise the rates. That’s why another loan or leasing program with a 0 down and 0 increase guarantee is always important for most customers.

2. Ask to check their design centre:

If you want, the consultant can sees the company’s design centre or operation office. Avoid letting them meet you at your place. You need to know more about the company and its precise workflow because you proceed further and get panels from their sides. When you have experienced groups like Vijay Engineering and Machinery Company (VEMC), you don’t have to worry much. With 72 years of experience, you can expect only the best from this source!

3. Ask for expansion of solar energy system in future:

This is another interesting point for you to jot down whenever you are dealing with the solar panel consultant for your queries. Ask them if they can expand the current solar system later if the need arises. With some countries becoming less dependent on fossil fuel, the consumers need to know if they can create a larger system in the near future for accommodating the power needed for their devices.

4. Ask more about the panels:

You should ask the consultant about the solar panels they are planning to install at your place. Always remember that not all panels are the same. Some are more durable and efficient than others. Experienced companies like Vijay Engineering and Machinery Company (VEMC) are able to produce around 75% more energy over the course of their working period. So, always research the panels through one third-party source to ensure that the products will last long.

5. Ask about the benefits of working with them:

There must be some benefits involved while working with a local solar contractor over a national brand. So, do ask about those benefits before you get yourself involved with their solar panels. Vijay Engineering and Machinery Company (VEMC) is one ISO 9001:2015 certified firm and a pioneer in the field of electromechanical engineering items, allied equipment, and all the necessary services. This company is CRISIL MSE-1 rated. They are known to present strategic expansion and consistency throughout for providing excellence in service, quality of product, and leadership. So, working with this team will save you a lot of money and time!

6. Ask if moving towards solar panel is a good call for you:

Well, the answer to such a question can be a complex one. It depends on multiple physical factors. How much are you currently paying on your electric bill? How much shade does your roof actually get? Why are you looking for solar panels? Is it because of the financial benefits or anything else? Make sure to get these questions answered first before you can opt for the solar panels.

How To Reduce Unexpected Long-Term O&M Costs With A Smart Solar Solution

by vemcoblogs -

Once a solar power plant is installed, the next aspect to be considered is operations and maintenance (O&M) management. It is a crucial aspect of any solar project since it mitigates the risks of unexpected costs and must never be overlooked. Efficient O&M ensures the generation of maximum power, while also providing a sizeable return on investment. No matter the scale of your photovoltaic (PV) module usage, you will always need an effective and efficient O&M solution. And you can do this by taking the SMART goals approach.

What is a SMART solar solution?

In management practices, SMART is an oft-used acronym for better guidance towards your set goals. SMART stands for:

  • Specific: Making sure that your objectives are well-defined and clear.
  • Measurable: Chosen criteria must be measurable to ensure the tracking of progress. 
  • Achievable: Keep your goals attainable. Impossible goals can lead to demoralization.
  • Realistic: Keep your objectives realistic, relevant, and within reach.
  • Timely: A clearly defined timeline is necessary along with target dates.

The SMART systematic approach towards making your goals clear and reachable will help reduce long-term O&M costs.

What are the steps to reduce unexpected costs?

  1. Preventative focus: In order to keep the equipment used in solar panels in top condition, it is necessary to conduct advanced analytics and condition monitoring testing. This reduces the possibility of any problems arising in the future, thus saving the time and money spent on remedial measures.
  2. Timely maintenance: Just as we abide by the user manual for maintaining other pieces of equipment, doing the same for solar solutions is always a good idea. Timely maintenance greatly reduces the possibility of errors and production loss. O&M providers like VEMC can offer planned maintenance schedules to maximise equipment performance and minimise downtimes.
  3. Spare management: Creating a detailed breakdown impact analysis of solar plant sites is necessary to prepare a priority matrix for spare management and better maintenance.
  4. Remedial maintenance: One of the main aspects of O&M is, of course, remedial maintenance. Any solar plant must have proper planning in place for repairs or replacement. This not only ensures immediate solutions but also helps avoid costly system failures.
  5. Safety: With the handling of large equipment comes the problem of ensuring the safety of everyone working around it. An experienced O&M provider will be equipped with skilled employees who perform their jobs with utmost care. They will also provide their maintenance personnel with the safety equipment needed to perform their jobs in a secure manner.

That said, it’s absolutely necessary to have an O&M plan in place for your solar plant to alleviate long-term costs.
