The increased adoption of solar energy for businesses is the next big leap that most industry owners are working towards in today’s time. The shift to various forms of renewable energy, in particular, solar energy, has been widely seen recently.
The integration of solar energy for self-consumption requires individuals to carefully consider the various stages of planning, implementation, and installation that come along with putting up the solar power plant for industrial use on industrial land. Streamlining every stage that leads up to the finish line for building a solar park requires experienced EPC developers such as KPI Green Energy to ensure a seamless, cost-efficient, timely, and stress-free experience.
To ensure the entire process from installation to transition is successfully carried out for the development process of a solar park, below are the important things every entrepreneur, industrialist, or solar enthusiast must consider:
The solar park feasibility study is a fundamental and critical starting point for establishing a successful industrial-scale solar park. It involves conducting initial research to study the solar park land requirements, its composition, environmental conditions, soil testing, location, etc., to maximize the impact of setting up the solar power plant.
Setting up of Industrial solar park involves seeking a lot of permits and approvals from the local government bodies to ensure safety standards are met, compliance codes are fulfilled, and positive changes have been prioritized.
Working with experienced developers such as KPI Green Energy will enable a smooth approval process, as we will initiate the relevant conversations with the regulatory bodies and local authorities to understand their requirements and timelines in the earlier phase of the project development itself. This will ensure deliverance in a timely manner, without the individual owner's involvement.
The first and foremost step required during setting up a solar park in India is knowing the ground terrain, whether it is a flat surface area or a sloped region. Installing a mounting system will allow your solar panels to stay stable and secure against harsh weather conditions and unruly winds. The installation process includes ensuring the following steps have been addressed:
The testing and commissioning phase of Industrial solar is a critical factor that ensures that the installation of the solar photovoltaic (PV) is positioned most desirably and is up to speed for its operations.
A few of the critical checkpoint areas for the industrial park developers include:
Further, conducting various tests to ensure the output from the solar panels is as per the expected capacity in critical conditions. An isolation test, which compares the amount of solar radiation received by the solar panels to their expected output. This will allow optimal performance and highlight any persistent issues that may hamper the functioning of the solar plant.
Once the solar park has been placed and configured, regular cleaning of the solar panels to avoid dust accumulation or debris is critical for optimal performance. At KPI Green Energy, we make use of waterless Robotic technologies and solutions for Solar Panel Cleaning to avoid soiling losses, increase solar project efficiency, by providing better solutions and also avoid wastage of water. Additionally, on-ground technical checks like wiring, equipment life, structural integrity, metering system, etc, need to also undergo inspections, as they ensure longevity of your solar park.
For the same using a monitoring system that helps track the functioning of the solar plant proves to be very useful. At KPI Green Energy, we have built a dedicated Network Operations Center (NOC) that enables us to monitor, analyze, and address any issues or concerns in the most systematized manner, leading to increased asset efficiency and reduced downtime. It tracks the electricity generation, performance metrics, and system health. This further brings into light the inconsistencies and improvement areas that need the attention of the individual staff. Ongoing maintenance also helps reduce operational costs for the plant owners in the long term.
Exploring what’s available in the market when it comes to Industrial solar plants, by conducting a thorough feasibility study, one that takes into consideration the design, budget, costs, risks, and site analysis, is the stepping stone for turning your dreams into a reality.
By carefully administering every step in the process of developing the solar park, one can be assured of no setbacks, hiccups, and the plant provides optimal generation. At KPI Green Energy, we are confident in delivering the best solar system as per your needs and requirements at the best cost possible.
Sustainable, reliable & affordable energy systems
Ans: From initial research to turning on the switch, the entire process of putting an industrial solar park can take up to a few months to a year. This largely depends on the efforts and proactiveness of the Solar developer for seeking permits, conducting inspections and ensuring grid connectivity.
Ans: Yes, both directly impact the functioning and output of solar energy. As soil composition directly influences the stability of solar panels and impacts the availability of water, vegetation impacts the amount of natural sunlight that falls on the solar panels and the overall environment around the industrial park.
Ans: Yes, ongoing maintenance of the industrial solar park for the upkeep of the systems and electrical lines is mandatory. As it only ensures optimal energy supply at all times.
