INTRODUCTION : SOLAR POTENTIAL IN INDIA BENEFITS OF SOLAR POWER PROJECT PROCESS FLOW FOR SOLAR POWER PROJECT LIST OF DRAWINGS & DOCUMENTS FOR SOLAR POWER PROJECT CRITERIA FOR MODULE SELECTION SOLAR MODULE QUALITY ASSURANCE FIELD INSPECTION CHECKLIST FOR SOLAR MODULE CONCLUSION

India is facing a power shortage of nearly 50,000MW and 50% of this problem could besolved by adopting Energy Conservation and Energy Efficiency Practises – especially in thein the Industrial Sector. Answer to India’s Power Problem lies in Optimising Energy Use+ Harvesting Solar Energy . India is blessed with enough Sun light to power the entire nation. India receives solar energyequivalent to 5,000 trillion kWh per year, far more than its total energy consumption. Dailyaverage solar energy incident varies from 4 – 7 kWh per sq.m depending on the locationaverage solar energy incident varies from 4 – 7 kWh per sq.m depending on the locationand time of the year. Irradiation data suggest that 0.5% of India’s land area under solar PV could meet all electricityneeds of the country in 2030. Rajasthan, North Gujarat , Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra& Madhya Pradesh receives highest annual radiation of 5kWH - 6 kWh/sq.m

Photo Voltaic Solar offer numerous benefits not only over Fossil Fuel Projects but also overother Renewable Technologies (Wind / Biomass / Hydro etc) Is a Zero maintenance system – which no other technology can offer . Does not need active manpower to operate. Does not need any fuel to operate except Sun light which is infinite. Is truly Green in Nature as the Energy Payback Time is around 2-3 years. Generally the role is Is truly Green in Nature as the Energy Payback Time is around 2-3 years. Generally the role iswithin 3-4 years and project life is 25-30 years . Hence free, once the initial cost recovered. Does not emit radiation or cause any pollution – can be installed closer to human habitat. Low gestation period – highly modular & scalable. Suitable to implement all parts of the India .

Solar Module Quality Assurance involves testing and evaluating solar cells to ensure the quality requirements of them are met. Solar modules or panels are expected to Have a longer service life between 20 and 40 years. They must constantly and consistently deliverthe power expected. In addition, modules are exposed to wide array of weather conditionsalong with usage in differ climates. Therefore it is critical to determine if a module is capable of performing over many decades with exposure to differing conditions. Solar module can be tested through a combination of physical tests, laboratory studies, and numerical analysis. Furthermore, solar modules need to be assessed through the stages of their life cycle. STAGES OF TESING :STAGES OF TESING :Conceptual Phase Manufacturing Phase Transportation & Installation Phase Commissioning Phase

Conceptual Phase : It involves design verification where the expected output of the moduleIs tested through computer simulation. Further, the modules ability to withstand naturalEnvironment conditions such as temperature, rain, hail, snow, corrosion, dust, lighteningHorizon and near shadow effects is tested. The layout for design and construction of theModule and the quality of components can also be tested at this stage. Manufacturing Phase : Inspecting manufactures components is carried through visitation.The inspection can include assembly checks, material testing supervision & Non DestructiveTesting (NDT). Certification is carried according to ANSI/UL1703, IEC 17025, IEC 61215,IEC 61646, IEC 61701 and IEC 61730-1/-2.Transportation & Installation Phase : Inspections include pre-dispatch inspection,Transportation & Installation Phase : Inspections include pre-dispatch inspection,Dimensional control, visual control, and damage control. Documents & certificatesShould also be reviewed.

Commissioning Phase & In-service Phase : Solar module specialists will ensure that the Production has followed correct procedure and ensure there is a save start up. The in-servicePhase involves regular inspections of the solar modules to confirm they are performing.

We can conclude that, many of the conceptsand practices that have been presented in this slide suitably adapted for general contextand site conditions, are applicable to diverse and different contexts, including similar large scale developments in solar power in India.
