260.4 kWp project commissioned in Pandharpur
Kalpa Power installed and commissioned a 260.4 kWp solar rooftop grid-tied plant at Shri Vithal Education Research Institute, Pandharpur. It is the first solar powered educational institute in PandharpurPrior to installation, we conducted a detailed site survey to understand their electricity consumption pattern, rooftop available space, site orientation etc. Based on this survey, we designed and installed 840 solar panels of 310 Wp on the roof of the institution. This 260.4 kWp solar rooftop grid-tied plant will generate 413.3 MWh/per year, replacing 40% of the institutes' electricity consumption and providing 30% savings over grid electricity.
Considering these benefits, it is advisable to install solar rooftop grid-tied plant in which one can generate and consume electricity on their own. The life of the system is 25 years with negligible maintenance. It is a one time investment where the levelised cost of solar is only Rs. 2-3/unit as opposed to conventional tariff which is Rs.10-10.50/unit. The payback for the system is within 3-4 years. One can also supply surplus electricity to MSEDCL and get credit for it.
Introduction on PV applications and current global market trends. Grid-tied PV systems. Training for contractors, project managers, engineers, electricans, quality inspectors etc. Early bird discount. Course selection support. Skilled training provider.

Excellent. This course was really useful for my start up solar business and gave a fairly good amount of knowledge and insight for various solar trends and offcourse the various solar calculations anf desigining. Even after the course, the instructor and head is really communicative and helpful in my various solar business activities and doubt clearing. Hats off to IST

SOLAR POLICY FOR Maharashtra - Residential, Commercial & Industrial
Net metering is a billing system that allows rooftop owners having solar system installed at their rooftop to sell any excess electricity generated from solar system to local electricity utility
Size: Up to 1 MWp; with variation of 5%
Voltage level: 230 / 240V : upto 8 kWp max., 400/ 415V (Three phase)
Above 8 to 150 kWp max. in Metropolitian Area and 8 to 80 kWp in Other Areas
11 kV and Above Level : Above 150 to 1000kWp max. in Metropolitian Area and 80 to 1000 kWp in Other Areas
The HT consumers (11 KV and above) may install and connect Rooftop Solar PV systems at their LT bus bar System provided that, in such cases, the Net Meter shall be installed on the HT side of the Transformer
Maharashtra solar policy
Maharashtra has set a target of generating additional grid-connected solar power capacity of 7500 MW by 2019. Of this, 2500 MW would be generated as a public-private partnership with MAHAGENCO (Maharashtra State Power Generation Company Ltd, formerly known as the MSEB). The remaining 5000MW solar power projects will be tendered to other developers.
Rooftop Solar
Maharashtra approved the state�s rooftop solar energy policy in January 2016.
The policy offers several concessions encouraging both public departments and private entities to go solar. The policy instructs Civic Development Authorities to provide construction permission only to government buildings and colonies that pledge to install rooftop solar.
Government and semi-government offices that have pledged to go solar can receive up to 100% subsidy, while private offices and companies can receive up to 15% subsidy for installing rooftop solar panels.
Residential, commercial and industrial buildings are setting up rooftop solar systems to cut down energy bills, making use of the subsidies offered by the government.
Net Metering for Domestic Solar Rooftops
Maharashtra provides a net metering system for domestic solar rooftops. The size of the solar system determines the voltage level that will be fed into the grid, and the MSEDCL (Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Co. Ltd.) is in charge of the application processing for Net Metering.
