2 MW Ground Mount Solar Power Plant at USPEL Jhansi, Uttar Pradesh

The 2 MW ground-mounted solar power plant at USPEL, Jhansi, Uttar Pradesh, managed by PV&G for JUWI India Renewable, is a significant project. Below is a detailed overview of the project and its potential energy production.

Project Overview

• Location: USPEL Jhansi, Uttar Pradesh, India. Jhansi is located in a region with moderate to high solar potential, making it ideal for solar energy projects.
• Capacity: 2 Megawatts (MW). This installation can significantly impact local power generation and provide grid support.
• Ground Mount System: The solar panels are mounted on the ground, offering advantages like ease of maintenance, flexibility in panel orientation, and scalability for large-scale projects.
• Developer: JUWI India Renewable, a leader in renewable energy, brings expertise in planning, design, and project execution.

Energy Production Estimate

To estimate the annual energy production of the 2 MW solar power plant, we consider the following:

1. Average Solar Irradiance: Jhansi receives an average solar irradiance of about 5.0 to 5.5 kWh/m²/day. For a conservative estimate, we’ll use 5.0 kWh/m²/day.
2. System Efficiency: With typical system losses, an overall efficiency of 80-85% is expected. We’ll use 85% for this calculation.
