Description

2.5 MW Ground Mount Solar Power Plant in Shahpura, Bhilwara

Managed by PV&G for ATHA Group, this solar power project in Shahpura, Bhilwara is significant for several reasons:

Project Overview

• Location: Shahpura, Bhilwara, Rajasthan, India. This region is known for high solar insolation, making it an ideal location for solar power generation.
• Capacity: 2.5 Megawatts (MW). This mid-sized solar plant is capable of generating substantial power for local consumption or to feed into the grid.
• Ground Mount System: The solar panels are installed on the ground, utilizing racking systems to secure the panels and optimize their angle for sunlight exposure.

Key Considerations for the Project

1. Site Selection: Shahpura was chosen due to its favorable solar conditions, including land availability, sunlight hours, and local climate.
2. Technology: The efficiency and output of the plant are influenced by the type of solar panels and inverters used. Modern systems employ high-efficiency panels and advanced inverters to maximize energy production.
3. Engineering and Design: Proper design ensures optimal panel orientation, structural stability, and minimal shading. This requires detailed planning of the layout and alignment of solar arrays.
4. Permits and Compliance: Adhering to local regulations and environmental guidelines is essential for the smooth operation of the plant.
5. Operation and Maintenance: Regular maintenance, including cleaning the panels and checking electrical components, is necessary to keep the system running efficiently.

Benefits of the Project

• Sustainable Energy: The 2.5 MW solar plant contributes to renewable energy goals, reducing reliance on fossil fuels and decreasing carbon emissions.
• Economic Impact: Projects like this create local jobs during construction and operation, potentially boosting the local economy through energy savings and infrastructure improvements.
• Grid Support: By feeding power into the local grid, the plant helps stabilize the electricity supply and supports regional energy needs.
