- 4. VEMC Solar Solutions Grid-tied system This system is synchronized with the utility supply mains at the distribution box. It uses an inverter which has special provisions to match the grid supply using sensors and reduce the total power consumption from grid. Solar Panels Inverter Utility Meter Utility Grid Home Solar Panels Charge controller Inverter Battery bank House Optional generator Off-Grid system This system is independent of the power grid. It has a battery bank to store excess electrical energy generated during day time and utilize this energy during night time when solar energy is not available. This is useful for locations situated far from electricity grid lines like remote tribal villages, Defense posts, forest checkpoints etc. VIJAY ENGINEERING AND MACHINERY CO.

Solar Panels charge controller Battery Bank house meter inverter utility grid Hybrid System This is a combination of both the on-grid and off-grid system, it is a grid connected solar photovoltaic system with a provision for battery backup to store energy. This is useful for electricity consumers having very high tariff rate, like commercial parks and malls. Optimized grid tied system This is one of a kind solar system focusing mainly on the module optimization by using individual module optimizers and special solar inverters. It is based on global ground breaking technology for improving solar plant performance. Power Optimizer Inverter Monitoring Portal VIJAY ENGINEERING AND MACHINERY CO.
- 6. VIJAY ENGINEERING AND MACHINERY CO. VEMC Solar Financial Solutions Client pays for the EPC Cost Client will own the system Sign a long term O & M Contract (optional) Carbon footprint reduction & tax saving VEMC undertakes the EPC activity In CAPEX model VEMC will Operate and Maintain the Plant for 25 years and its ownership will be with the Investor Project Finance Installation 25 years of operations and management CAPEX Model In this finance model, the client or any entity approaches VEMC for installation of a Solar PV system in the premises of the client. Once the plant is commissioned, its ownership transfers to the client and the VEMC’s scope ends. The advantages of this model include: 1. The client has complete ownership over the plant and its operation. 2. Client can reduce his electricity bills by sizable margins depending on the capacity of Solar PV plant. 3. Client can avail CFA (Central Finance assistance) Subsidies and tax benefits from Government bodies. 4. Client can complete his CSR and Renewable energy use and purchase obligations. 5. Client becomes partially immune to increasing Utility electricity prices. OPEX Model In this financial model, the complete project cost is financed by the investor and executed by VEMC and the power generated is sold to client. The Client enters into a long-term contract (typically referred to as the PPA) to purchase 100% of the Electricity generated by the system. The advantages of this model include: 1 Clients consumes Electricity at a discounted price 2 No investment from Client side. 3 VEMC will manage the permits, construction, maintenance and operations of the system. 4 Client can meet his Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) at no additional cost.
- 7. Net Metering Net metering is a billing mechanism that credits solar energy system owners for the electricity they add to the grid. It allows Utility power consumers who generate some or all of their own electricity to use at anytime, instead of when it is generated allowing the consumers to give extra solar power in to the grid when their demands for power are met and recover the grid injected energy whenever their generation from solar system is low. This system enables the consumer to achieve substantial reduction in the electricity bill (The bill could be as low as zero in some cases). Solar production Energy needs Excess energy Utility grid B A ELECTRIC BILL B = As low As $0 plus connection fees - A Net Metering VIJAY ENGINEERING AND MACHINERY CO.

Monocrystalline PV modules Monocrystalline solar panels use single-crystal silicon. Because the cell is composed of a single crystal, the electrons that generate a flow of electricity have more room to move. As a result, monocrystalline panels are more efficient than their polycrystalline counterparts. Polycrystalline PV modules Polycrystalline solar panels are also made from silicon. However, instead of using a single crystal of silicon, manufacturers melt many fragments of silicon together to form the wafers for the panel.. Because there are many crystals in each cell, there is to less freedom for the electrons to move. As a result, polycrystalline solar panels have lower efficiency ratings than monocrystalline panels. On an average the Polycrystalline Modules give slightly better ROI when compared to Monocrystalline PV modules due to their comparatively lower costs and similar electricity generation.
- 9. VIJAY ENGINEERING AND MACHINERY CO. Inverters Solar Power inverter is the heart of any Solar Power plant. Solar power inverters have special functions adapted for use with photovoltaic arrays other than DC to AC power conversion, like maximum power point tracking, System monitoring and anti-islanding protection. VEMC provides below Solar inverters types: Stand-alone inverters Stand alone inverters are used in isolated systems where the inverter draws its DC energy from batteries charged by photovoltaic arrays. Grid-tie inverters Grid tie inverters are designed to operate in Synchronism with the Utility grid. They are designed to shut down automatically upon loss of utility supply, for safety reasons. Solar grid tie inverters are used for net metering purposes. Hybrid inverters Hybrid inverters are designed to draw energy from a battery, manage the battery charge via an onboard charger, and export excess energy to the utility grid. This is a combination of both standalone and Grid-tie inverters and can be used for net metering purposes. The inverter comparison is given as follows, Inverter/ Converter Efficiency Remarks String Inverters Power up to 100 kWp up to 98% • Higher reliability • Easy to replace Central Inverters More than 100 kWp up to 98.5% • Marginal lower cost • Often sold only together with service contract Micro-Inverters Module Power Range 90%-95% • Ease-of-replacement concerns • Marginally Higher energy outputs DC/DC Converters (Power Optimizer) Module Power Range up to 98.8% • Ease-of-replacement concerns • Output is DC with optimized current • Still a DC / AC inverter is needed • 2 GWp installed in 2016 Cables Solar cable is the interconnection cable used in photovoltaic power generation. Solar cables are designed to be UV resistant and weather resistant. They can be used within a large temperature range and are generally laid outside.
