Detail Project Report

1MWp SPV Power Plant

Assumption & Consideration

Shading consideration: No shading has been considered at the site during the calculation design. So it is advised that at
the time of execution, please check whether there is any kind of obstacle in the site which may cause partial/full shading
on PV strings and/or PV array. If the shading occurs, then the estimated power generation will not match the actual
power generated.

Load Factor: It is assumed that the produced power from the PV plant will be fed to the local utility grid. So, while
designing the system, no unbalanced load considered in 3 phase configuration.

Meteo data: The calculation based on the meteo data collected from Google satellite which is very reliable. Now, based
on the co-ordinates the values have been presented in this report. So, total design is based on this data.

Site consideration: this design has been done by considering the PV modules & array will be ground-mounted and the
site-elevation angle taken 30.

Cost Estimation: 1MW Solar PV power plant cost estimation is $1 000 000 000 USD. We can confirm our system will be
commissioned at ……………………………..USD.

CAD design & layout: I have not uploaded/attached the CAD design. If anybody interested in setting up the plant, then
only contact at the given e-mail ids to get the design file. Transmission & wheeling losses: Here, in this report, while doing
the technical assessment, the distance from nearest substation to the 1MW solar PV power plant taken within 15 KM and
so the wheeling losses considered as 3% of total power transmission. And in the financial assessment, no wheeling
charges have been considered.

Design Criteria: While designing & estimating the technical components & solutions, all the required/applicable standard
design codes have been considered, in particular the IEC (International Electro technical Commission) Codes, IS codes
from BIS.

Operation & Maintenance of Plant
Why do we need an O&M for Solar PV power plant?
As every plant needs a regular maintenance work to make it functional & in well-condition, so
in this case also, a PV power plant also requires a sound & efficient operation & management
team to perform all the work after plant commissioning.
