Sunora Solar is dedicated to making renewable energy more accessible and affordable. With our new project, we have been able to take a step further in helping India achieve 500 gigawatts (GW) of non-fossil fuel capacity by 2030. Sunora Solar has secured a solar panel project with 125 MW capacity under the DREPP scheme in Surarashtra, Gujarat. The total value of this project is ₹170 crore and will help reduce carbon emissions and create jobs.
This is our one step forward to solidify our commitment towards green energy adoption and building a better, sustainable future.
In this post, we will discuss a few details about the project and its impact in Saurashtra, Gujarat. First, let’s start by understanding the DREPP scheme.
What is the DREPP scheme for solar panels?
DREPP stands for Decentralized Renewable Energy Power Projects. It is commonly known as Decentralized Renewable Energy (DRE) solar panel plans designed to make renewable energy accessible. Here, a solar panel plant is made near the area that requires the energy, rather than connecting it to the central grid of a power plant.
With the DREPP scheme, the remote areas can also get uninterrupted solar power and reduce reliance on fossil-fuel-based power. These projects also help create jobs and a better lifestyle for the area.
Sunora Solar’s 125 MW solar plan with TOPCon solar panel technology
Sunora Solar is a trusted solar panel company in Gujarat that is known for its exceptional panels and services. We recently secured an order to create a 125 MW solar panel plant in Saurashtra, Gujarat. The order is valued at ₹170 crore to be built with TOPCon solar panel technology.
The TOPCon technology is the best for solar panels due to its high performance and temperature efficiency. The Tunnel Oxide Passivated Contact layer increases the sunlight exposure of the solar cells, leading to more electricity production. They have 22%-24% efficiency and last for 25-30 years. Therefore, with regular maintenance, these solar panels give the best ROI.
For 9+ years, Sunora Solar has been creating and installing high-quality solar panels. We also provide operations and maintenance services to ensure that your solar panels work efficiently and generate maximum electricity.
Impact of 125 MW solar panel project on Saurashtra, Gujarat
The following are the benefits of the 125 MW solar panel project we’ve been entrusted with.
Easy access to solar energy
The areas around the solar project will have direct access to solar energy. In the traditional central grid system, oftentimes, the electricity is delayed and completely shut off in case of a natural calamity or a problem in the connection. With a solar plant nearby, the distance becomes shorter, and consistent electricity is available.
With solar energy being easily accessible, they can reduce the usage of fossil-based electricity and the associated costs. Solar power reduces the cost of electricity significantly.
Reduce carbon emissions
One of the most important concerns with fossil-based fuel is its carbon emissions. To create a sustainable future, it’s vital to reduce carbon emissions. Therefore, solar power is crucial in helping our nation reduce the carbon footprint associated with electricity production and connectivity.
Solar energy is environmentally friendly in many ways. Solar panels produce 95% less carbon emissions than fossil fuels. Additionally, these solar power plants have a lower water consumption rate and create 99% less air pollution (source). Therefore, they have become one of the primary sources for renewable energy.
The government of India is offering lucrative subsidies to promote the adoption of solar power. We can help you get the best offers to reduce the cost of installing solar panels. Contact us now for more information.
Job creation in Saurashtra
Solar panel projects include many responsibilities ranging from analyzing the area, mounting the solar panels, installing the electricity storage and distributing units, and maintenance. Therefore, our 125 MW solar plant will generate job opportunities for the locals. It will help boost the quality of life and economy of the area.
Conclusion
Sunora Solar has been entrusted to create a 125 MW solar plant in Saurashtra, Gujarat, under the DERPP scheme. This project will include high-quality TOPCon solar panels known for their 22% – 24% efficiency, better temperature tolerance, and 25-30 years of longevity. The project costing ₹170 crore will make electricity more accessible, reduce carbon emissions significantly, and create local jobs. This project allows us to reduce the use of fossil fuels and make solar energy more accessible.
FAQ
What are the benefits of using TOPCon solar panels?
The TOPCon solar panels are known for their efficiency and performance. The Tunnel Oxide Passivated Contact layer helps reflect more sunlight on the solar cells, increasing the electricity output. Additionally, these solar panels are more durable and have a long life cycle. The TOPCon solar panel can produce more electricity with the same-sized solar panels. Therefore, they are convenient for small spaces or getting more energy from the available space.
What are Decentralized Renewable Energy Power Projects (DREPP)?
DREPP refers to the solar grid plants located near the area of consumption. It makes electricity easily accessible, reduces transmission losses, and promotes sustainable development in remote areas.
What is the future of solar energy in India?
The future of solar energy in India is bright. The government aims to create 500 GW of non-fossil fuel capacity by 2030. Therefore, they offer supportive policies for the solar panel manufacturers and subsidies on solar panel installation. The maximum sunlight exposure in most parts of India helps generate more electricity. DRE projects make solar energy more accessible to remote areas.
What are government schemes for solar panels?
A few government schemes and initiatives to promote solar panel adoption are PM Surya Ghar – Muft Bijli Yojana for subsidies on solar panels, PM Kusum Yojana for farmers, and the PLI scheme to create solar modules.
