Recent Solar Installations

The constraint

A central water tank and a staircase room split the roof into two usable patches, and the meter board sat two floors below.

What we designed

Panels were split into two strings across both patches, feeding one 5 kW inverter. The DC run was routed in conduit down the service shaft to keep the facade clean.

Result

• Bill fell to roughly ₹700–1,200 in most months
• ₹78,000 PM Surya Ghar subsidy claimed and credited
• Net meter installed by MPMKVVCL in the fourth week

The constraint

Work had to avoid term time, and the sheet roof needed a purlin check before any mounting was designed.

What we designed

Non-penetrating clamps across three roof sections, three 20 kW three-phase inverters for redundancy, and installation scheduled across the vacation window.

Result

• About 60% of daytime consumption offset
• Payback projected at under four years
• Monthly generation report handed to the trustees

The constraint

High fault level at the LT panel, and production could not stop for the changeover.

What we designed

Plant split across four roof blocks, HT-side metering with the DISCOM, and the changeover completed on a scheduled maintenance Sunday.

Result

• Captive generation offsetting a large share of daytime units
• Accelerated depreciation claimed in the first year
• String-level monitoring feeding the plant's own dashboard

The constraint

The pump needed to run through the morning and evening, and there was no grid to fall back on.

What we designed

A ground-mounted 5 kW array with a solar pump controller, sized for the pump's head and duty cycle, with a small battery for controls.

Result

• Diesel running cost removed entirely
• Irrigation possible on the farmer's own schedule
• Quarterly cleaning visit scheduled from Jabalpur
