Payyanur Solar Project

PV Technology through Local Self Governments

In a state like Kerala, where panchayati raj institutions have proved their efficiency in handling development projects, a gram panchayat could be an appropriate level of decentralised governance with adequate resources and capacity for designing a MW scale PV power system through kW scale distributed installations (off grid and grid connected rooftop plants).

The project was aimed to develop and document a proper design methodology and implementation strategy to convert the Grama Panchayat area into a �Solar Grama Panchayat� through innovations in technology design, planning, implementation, and post implementation management. An exhaustive, well-planned one full day energy survey programme wasconducted on 12-Jan-2013 using2500 students offour major schoolsand engineering collegesof the panchayat with the help and guidance of ward members, Kudumbashree members(women self-help groups), parents and teachers of respective institutions.

Based on the analysis of the energy survey at Chendamangalam, certain solar PV packages were designed for different class of consumers (based on their bimonthly energy consumption and ownership of appliances). Innovative design of custom PV solutions and institutionalization of operation and maintenance, supported with clear government policies and finance options can help in transforming a panchayat into an energy surplus entity through rooftop PV revolution.

Kerala's Solar target set at 1,870 MW by 2022

The total installed capacity of the state, all sources in the state included, is now just shy of 3,000 MW. The KSEB alone expects to complete 15 solar power projects with a total installed capacity of 9.2 MW in 2018-19. Majority of these are rooftop solar plant projects in schools, government buildings and local bodies. In addition to these, the KSEB has also launched paperwork on seven other solar power projects. Of the 200 MW Kasargod solar project, a 50 MW component is already functional. Moreover, the KSEB has also given conditional clearance for purchasing electricity generated at the proposed 170 MW solar project planned by NTPC Ltd at Kayamkulam, according to Electricity Minister M M Mani. ANERT pursues three separate schemes for generation of solar power using rooftop plants.
ANERT is now promoting the Renewable Energy Service Company (RESCO) model in the state for encouraging government hospitals and establishments to take up solar projects. The big attraction of this model, which is promoted by the Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI), is the government agencies will not have to make any initial investment.
