ABOUT SOLAR POWER SYSTEM

1.1 SYSTEM OVERVIEW

A. About the system

The solar PV Power generation system (Powerpack) supplied by Swissmango Solar Energy
Solutions Pvt Ltd is a high efficient, modular, extendable and cost effective power generation
solution. The system is designed to International Standards to ensure that you have years of
trouble-free operations. As a result of proven technology, the system is highly efficient and
maintenance free. With one-time investment, the Solar PowerPack provides the prudent way
of managing the energy costs in an eco-friendly way. The savings made on energy costs will help
the companies to directly benefit and contributing to their growth. The List of major components
used in this system are listed below.

Solar PV Modules: The sun light (solar radiation) falling on the modules is converted in to DC
energy by photovoltaic principle. The generated by solar modules can either be used to
supply the power to the connected load or to charge the battery bank.

PV Inverter(PCU): PCU is a common terminology used to the system consisting of Inverter

and AC synchronization functionality. PCU does the function of controlling grid power by
leading PF and prefer the solar energy to the load. The system also contains the Charge
Controller as part of the same system or as an independent unit.

Module mounting structure(MMS): MMS is the structure to mount the solar PV modules with
specified angle depending on the location when the system to be mounted. The tilting will
vary depending on the longitude and latitude of the location.

B. Salient Features and Benefits of System

 A clean, silent and eco-friendly source of power
 Solar modules convert sunlight into electricity without pollution
 Negligible maintenance as there are no moving parts and maximum reliability
 Long life span of solar modules
 Modular design and easily expandable
 Simple installation: can be mounted on roof top or ground
 Can be installed at point-of use to avoid transmission losses
 Energy Independence

C. Applications

The system is ideal for industries and institutions where the energy usage is maximum during the
sunlight hours. These include manufacturing companies, Software development Centres,
Hospitals, Hotels, Schools, Colleges, Fuel Pump stations, R&D Centres, Transmission, Railways
and Communication towers and many more applications.

1.2 SYSTEM WORKING PRINCIPLE

Solar photovoltaic(PV) system is like any other electrical power generation systems in terms
of the output except for the source of the power is Solar radiation. The conversion of Solar
radiation to the electrical power is based on the photovoltaic principles. However, the
principles of operation of the connected load and interfacing with other electrical systems
remain the same. Though solar PV array produces power when exposed to sunlight, a number
of other components are required to properly conduct, control, convert, distribute, and
transform the energy produced by the array.

Solar power generating system supplied for this project shall be utilized for powering
various office loads like Computer, Lighting loads, fans etc. for specified hours of sun shine
operation.

This system is designed to generate the energy in an eco friendly manner with the source
from solar radiation which is available in abundance. The system designed is for 20.00KWp
Solar Power Generation Grid Connecting System. The system does not have any storage
for standby power. The solar PV array will have 80 no’s of 250Wp crystalline solar modules.
These modules will be connected in series / parallel combination t h r o u g h Optimizers to

the desired string configuration as per the design parameters of the PCU. The PCU is of 17KVA
capacity with three phase AC Output. Grid power supply is provided to support the loads and
to reduce the Grid power consumption when solar power is available.

The power generated from solar array is fed into the PCU through Optimizer and being
inverted by the PCU (Vac). This voltage is being combined with standard grid supply to the
phases (R/Y/B) and will lead the power factor of the inverter supply by comparing the grid
power factor. So the solar generated power will always be preferred by the leading power
factor and rest of the power will be used from the grid as required by the load. If the load
demand is lesser than the solar power generated, the balance power may be exported to grid
and customer may get feed-in benefit as per the policies of the local electricity board. This
system is working in the principal of power factor comparison and the system will feed the
power either to load or grid through grid power supply. That means loads will be indirectly
connected with the solar system. So, if the grid supply is not available at any moment the
solar system will shut OFF immediately. We can only use sunlight directly to the load
whenever the grid power is available. The system will shuts OFF at the time of low intensity
or no sun light and restarts automatically when the sunlight is available. The proposed
system does not required any dedicated loads or separate wiring to work on. At the time of
power failure if the customer turns ON the DG supply again the solar system will run and pushes
the energy back to the DG. To avoid this reverse current situation, the DG rating should be
atleast be 4 to 5 times higher rating than the proposed solar power plant rating.
