MNRE (Ministry of New and Renewable Energy) Empanelment is a mark of trust and assurance for solar consumers and customers in India. Here let’s check its importance: 1. Government-approved Quality Assurance MNRE empanelment ensures the solar companies meet stringent quality and standards set by the Indian government. It includes, Use of certified solar modules and inverters, Adherence to installation and safety guidelines and Compliance with performance benchmarks. As a result, the solar system is reliable, […]

Online monitoring of solar power plants offers many benefits that enhance reliability, performance and efficiency. Following are some of the key benefits: 1. Real-Time Performance Update Updates power generation, energy consumption, and system performance instantly. It allows operators and solar integrators to detect underperformance or outages immediately. 2. Maximising Efficiency Helps to optimize system performance through data analytics and insights. Also, identify issues such as shading, dirt on panels, or inverter malfunctions that reduce efficiency. […]

On-grid solar systems are photovoltaic (PV) systems connected directly to the utility grid. They generate electricity for immediate use and allow excess energy to be exported to the grid. Consumers receive credits for the surplus through a net-metering mechanism, which offsets their electricity bills. Relevance of On-Grid Solar in Kerala 1. Kerala’s Dependence on Power Imports Kerala generates only around 30% of its electricity needs locally and imports the rest from neighboring states. This dependency […]

Kerala’s solar energy requirements for the next five years are estimated to be around 10 GW. This is based on the state’s current electricity consumption and the government’s plans to increase renewable energy generation. The state government has set a target of generating 20% of its electricity from renewable sources by 2025. Solar power is expected to play a major role in achieving this target. The state has already installed considerable amount of solar power capacity. As of March 2023, Kerala […]
