About Chennai Solar Home Systems Established in 2008, Chennai SHS (Solar Home Systems) provides solar energy

solutions. Chennai SHS aims to empower its customer by providing a complete package of product, service and consumer financing through banks, cooperative societies and micro-finance institutions.

Chennai SHSs key features: Creating products based on end user needs: going beyond just being a technology supplier but customizing our products based on individual needs. Installation and after-sales service: dedicating regional energy service centers to ensure prompt maintenance and service. Standardized financing packages: creating channels for end users to afford systems based on their cash flow.

Chennai SHS currently employs about 25 employees in Tamilnadu, and operates as a subsidiary of Chennai Roofings, a well established consumer and industrial roofing firm. Since 2008, Chennai SHS has sold, serviced and financed over 1200 solar energy systems to our customers and clients.

Technology:

Our systems utilize solar photovoltaic (PV) modules to provide electricity for lighting, water pumping, communications, small business and household appliances (e.g. computers, ceiling fans, televisions, music systems, and sewing machines). These Solar energy products can be directly purchased by individual homes and businesses and do not require connection to a larger network. We also have the capability to design larger commercial/industrial systems to meet specialized applications. Apart from our standardized products, Chennai SHSs uniqueness lies in its ability to customize our existing products to suit individual customer needs including: Indoor home & industrial lighting Outdoor home & industrial lighting Solar Headlamp Solar-powered traffic light systems Finance:

Chennai SHS has leveraged the urban and rural banking system to finance sustainable energy systems for households and businesses. Chennai SHS has forged partnerships with several regional banks and farmer cooperatives to develop financial solutions.

CHENNAI SHS helps its customers obtain the necessary credit to purchase solar lighting and thermal system Much like other large purchases such as new homes or automobiles, the presence of credit facilitates purchasi Since an energy service to an average middle-income household can represent several months of income, the provision of affordable and accessible credit is essential.

Major Financing Partners:

Indian Bank Canara Bank Farmer cooperative Syndicate Bank Credit Terms: Interest rates are based on the credit source and range from 4% to 12%. Customers typically put around 20% required capital as a down payment, paying the balance over three to five years.

Chennai, Aug 31: The Tamil Nadu Government has commenced the implementation of its ambitious programme to provide solar-powered lights to 300,000 homes in the State. Work on this has been going on in the last couple of weeks in the Tiruchi district and 60,000 homes would be lighted in the current financial year, Sudeep Jain, Chairman and Managing Director, Tamilnadu Energy Development Agency (TEDA), said today. (The government intends to do it in phase of 60,000 homes over a five-year period. The first phase was to have been completed in 2011-12, at a cost of Rs 1,080 crore. Under the programme, solar panels would be put up on the roofs measuring 300 sq. ft. Each unit would cost Rs 1.80 lakh. As the programme is meant for rural poor, the entire cost would be to the government.) Speaking at a conference on the Dependability of REC mechanism, RPO and power trading in solar industry, organised here by the Energy and Fuel Users Association (ENFUSE), Jain said that the Tamil Nadu government was also implementing another programme to energise 100,000 street lights with solar power, at a cost of Rs 200 crore. ENFUSE is an organisation which is supported by the major oil companies such as ONGC, IOC and CPCL and the conference was sponsored by CPCL. Both the home light and street light programme are grid-backed, the first of their kind in the country, Jain said. Net metering

Jain said that the Government of Tamil Nadu was also very keen on net-metering. (Net metering enables the rooftop solar plant can put in surplus energy into the grid because it spins the other direction when power is being put into the grid, thereby giving credit to the generator.) He noted that two pilot net metering projects were onone in TEDAs own office building and another at Auroville, Puducherry. He said that when net metering became a reality, rooftop solar plants could do away with the costly and energy-inefficient battery-based storage. Jain also hoped that just as the prices of solar panels have fallen drastically (from $2.5 a watt in 2009 to around $0.65 a watt now), the prices of inverters would also fall. He said that the cost of putting up a 1 kW rooftop solar plant had come down from Rs 2.5 lakh a couple of years back to Rs 1.5 lakh and said that if the cost of inverters came down, the overall cost would come down to less than Rs 1 lakh per kW. The rooftop solar movement would take-off then, he said.

Absence of power connection hardly matters for a farm house coming up in Theneerpatti village on the outskirts of the city. Motors are operated in the walled farm house at regular intervals for construction of buildings and nourishing the vegetation. And there are lamps atop posts enough to illuminate the premises during night hours; the entire campus spread over about five acres is being powered by solar energy. Of course, the investment is high, but there are no hassles involved. For, obtaining a power connection from the Tamil Nadu Electricity Board is a time-consuming process. At present, the solar panels installed at an expenditure of a few lakhs of rupees are able to generate power that is sufficient to run a 2 hp motor and illuminate five to six lamps. Additional panels will be installed so as to generate 5 hp, says the farm owner Ramachandran, who intends to raise poultry and livestock in the farm house in an ecofriendly way, with the expertise he had gained in Australia from his ancestors. There is also an entrepreneurial dimension to the farm house. Ramachandran has set sights on processing and exporting meat produced at the farm house.
