TOWARDS SOLAR INDIA

Due to the recession in America and European Union, inflation in the commodity prices and down fall of the rupee value in India, people faced many difficulties in their  industry, trade and commerce in the last year. Before overcoming these factors, in Tamil Nadu, all of them are severely affected by the uninformed daily power cuts upto 14 to 16 Hours. It is affecting badly not only the smooth functioning of the Industries, but also causes difficulties in all walks of life, especially the proper studies of their children. Will the Industry ,Agriculture and the society get uninterrupted power?

Yes, Central and State Governments have announced their policies towards building “SOLAR INDIA”. Government of India have announced “JAWHARLAL NEHRU NATIONAL SOLAR MISSION” (JNNSM) under which planned to generate 22 G.W of Solar Power by 2020. Similarly, Government of Tamil Nadu in its TAMIL NADU SOLAR ENERGY POLICY 2012” planned to produce 3000 M.W Power by 2015 i.e., 1000 MW in 2013, 1000 MW in 2014 and another 1000 MW in 2015. Both Central and State Governments have announced subsidies for establishment of Solar Energy Projects and Parks.

India has high solar insolation. India being a tropical country receives adequate solar radiation for 300 days, amounting to 3000 hours of sunshine equivalent to over 5000 trillion KWH. Almost all the regions received 4-7 kWh of solar radiation per sq.metre with about 2,300-3200 sunshine hours/year, depending upon the location.

This indeed true that the Solar Power Sector, where private players are now playing an extremely important role in setting up power plants and even distribution of Power directly to consumers.

Setting up of Solar Energy Projects, Power generation and distribution involves selection of Right Solar Energy Technology, selection of suitable Solar Panels, Inverters, Solar Accessories, Solar Equipments. Solar EPC Companies and Solar Systems. Maintenance of Solar Parks for 20 years with R&D are most important factors. It is difficult for any individual investor or an individual company to meet all these requirements. So ,even though they are interested ,many people are not coming forward to promote Solar Energy Parks individually.

In this regard to help the investors and promoters of Solar Energy Projects, an Association is necessery. This Association may plan Zonal wise regional offices in Chennai, Salem, Coimbatore, Madurai, Trichy and Ramnad in TamilNadu to look after the activities of promoting Solar Energy Parks. While promoting open access Projects like Group Captive, Individual Power Production etc., will give Return of Investment in a short span of 4 to 5 years. Also the parks Management will accumulate all sorts of investors including PPA with the State Government.

The Association may facilitate the required land, liaison  with Government Bodies, appointment of renowned International Consultancy, right equipments with right price for bulk purchases and operational maintenance under  a single Management .There is a saying in Tamil ‘Thangam Seyyaathathai Sangam Seyyum’ -’ Association can do what the Gold cannot’

So, it is correct to  call upon the people who are willing to invest and promote Solar energy projects and parks to join the Association and become a chief Promoter of Solar Energy Parks in their Region.

THEY CAN OWN A SOLAR POWER PLANT BY BECOMING A PART OF THE ASSOCIATION. THEY CAN TAKE A STEP TOWARDS CONSERVATION OF ENVIRONMENT AND DOING THEIR BIT TO MAKE OUR MOTHER EARTH HAPPY.
