Project DescriptionThe purpose of this project is to install Solar Photovoltaic (PV) 15 KW off grid solar power plant. This plant may be utilized to serve the needs of Wapco.
WABCO INDIA LIMITED, a majority owned subsidiary of WABCO Holdings Inc, has pioneered the manufacture of air-assisted and air brake systems for commercial vehicles in India.
Solar Power
With the fast depletion of the non-renewable energy resources, there is a tremendous thrust on generating renewable energy. Solar Energy has been identified as one of the driving forces for generating electricity. During the last two decades, the accelerated drop in silicon, which is the feedstock material for most panels, has made it possible for solar panels to move from space-based applications to generation of energy for consumption by the general populace.
The solar power industry is growing at a phenomenal rate globally with the US, Germany, Spain and China leading the way. Industry experts predict an annual growth rate of about 40 per cent for several years into the future. With escalating international oil prices and increasing concerns about global warming, solar power represents a strategic energy choice for the future for most of the countries currently dependent on imported energy sources.
Similar considerations apply in India as well. Further, there has been a rapid decline in the PV pricing in the last 2-3 months which has made a well-designed Solar power solution a better option, environmentally as well as financially to a DG (Diesel Generator Set) power. Due to a massive deficit in the power sector infrastructure and fuel supply use of DG has been growing rapidly in India. This has led to many issues including a rising oil import bill, loss of revenue due to subsidies for diesel and above all, increasing pollution in the country.
Solar PV (Photo-Voltaic) Technologies
There are two main PV technologies namely Silicon (mono-crystalline or poly-crystalline) or thin films (TF). The latter includes amorphous silicon and various chemistries from the CIGS (Cadmium, Indium, Gallium and Selenium) family of elements. Though TF panels have better thermal characteristics then Silicon based panels, their lack of long term record makes them a riskier alternative. Further due to their considerably lower power density requires a higher number of panels resulting in a higher space requirement and BOS costs. Poly-crystalline panels have better thermal characteristics compared to mono-crystalline panels hence are considered more suitable for our needs.
