Jindal Solar Eco-Tech Limited, is in the process of setting up a 200 MW grid-connected solar photovoltaic (PV) power plant. The initiative is aligned with the Government of India’s mission to promote renewable energy and reduce carbon emissions through sustainable development.
The project will employ advanced mono-PERC solar modules, inverters, transformers, and a robust grid integration system to ensure high performance and operational reliability.
Through this initiative, Jindal Solar aims to contribute significantly to the state’s renewable energy capacity while generating employment opportunities and promoting local economic development.
The power generation process at the 100 MW Solar PV plant involves harnessing solar energy and converting it into usable electrical power. The steps include capturing solar radiation, converting it into DC electricity through solar panels, converting DC to AC through inverters, and evacuating power to the grid.
Plant Components
Module Technology
The plant will deploy high-efficiency mono-PERC (Passivated Emitter Rear Contact) solar modules, which are known for their superior performance in diverse environmental conditions, ensuring better energy output over the long term.
Mounting Structure Type
The mounting structures will be engineered to support the PV modules securely, allowing for efficient solar capture and long-term durability. Depending on local solar resources and return on investment (ROI) analysis, either fixed tilt or single-axis trackers may be used.
Inverters
The plant will deploy high-efficiency mono-PERC (Passivated Emitter Rear Contact) solar modules, which are known for their superior performance in diverse environmental conditions, ensuring better energy output over the long term.
Transformers
Step-up transformers will be used to increase the voltage from the inverter output to grid-level voltage (33/132 kV or as required by the utility).
Substation
The project will have an on-site substation that integrates with the local power grid, allowing for efficient energy evacuation and distribution.
O&M Facilities
The plant will have a dedicated O&M building equipped with spare parts inventory, equipment workshops, control rooms, and administrative offices.
Water Usage
The water requirement for the plant will be minimal, primarily for cleaning the solar panels. A rainwater harvesting system will be implemented to minimize the use of fresh water.
