[@mandeepashiya2229]

@@liladevi3169 if you buy solar panels for any use, there is a warranty that panels would retain atleast 80% of energy generation capacity as compared to initial days (solar panels degrade slowly with time) so if you are making on avg 5 units per kw panel on day1, after 25 years it will be around 4 units per kw. Hence panels are still usable albeit with slightly less output. after 25 years you can use them for personal purpose or can sell them to any private factory owners incase govt doesnt renew the contract. However one major thing to watch out for is that after 25 years, solar and other renewable energy technologies will be much advanced and therefore renewal of the ppa has really low chances.

So at this moment it is only helping farmer who are already well off and have enough disposable income. To help small farmers the government need to create a dedicated body which would as act as a facilitator between farmer and discoms. This body should also ensure that collateral requirement is kept bare minimum.

Investment is 3.4cr. Income is 48L per year at max. If you assume 6% interest rate on capital it comes to 20.4L pa. Maintenance will be 30k per month - 3.6L year. Total income per year = 24L. So investment will recover after 14 years. Post that income will start. However if solar panels have life of 15- 18 years, income will be there only for 1-4 years however your land remains locked. How is it profitable?

Good initiative but profit should be more, or gov should provide subsidies or low interest loans for installation. It took almost 8 9 years to recover the capital investment and with the time efficiency of solar panals are decreases. At the current stage its better to FD the capital amount u will get double amount than this.🙂

[@MrJothindra]

What about the challenge to keep the panels clean? It will require a lot of water to do so almost every day.

[@mandeepashiya2229]

solar panels are not needed to be cleaned daily, once a month should be sufficient in case there was no rain.

There is something off in the data 1MW is generating 5000 units per day means 150000 units a month and he is earning 4 lacs a month which means he is getting 2.7 rupees per unit which is very less

In 10 yrs.. (as per the returns shown in this video) total returns would be less than 4.8 crore rupees…shelf life of equipment is also around 10 years with power generation keeps decreasing as time passes by….. so in my observation it would been more beneficial if money had been invested somewhere else

[@rajdeepdas272]

The power loss factor is minimal. According to long finding case study over 20 yrs. The power generation efficiency only saw a drop from 90% to 80% in the second decade. So you are good to go for at least 2 more decade if nothing major happens. The problem is the rate at which discom buys electricity. While private coal thermal companies exchange during this month is selling gov electricity at a rate of 12₹/unit the farmers are only getting 3-5₹/unit. India is a country which will always snub farmers

[@veryannoyingname]

The solar panels can be mounted 6 to 7 feet high so that there is space below it for farming and growing fish. Shade loving plants like leafy vegetables grow bigger leaves in the shade! The water from aquaculture can be used to water the plants with organic nutrition and to wash the solar panels. The solar panels in turn decrease water evaporation. The electricity generated can be used for pumping the water from water tanks to clean the solar panels and also water the nearby agriculture beds which clans the dirty water from the fish growing ponds and can be reused for the fish again. Others abroad have already done these things

This is heavily subsidised by the government and government might be paying 60% of the project cost that makes 4L per month for 25 yrs viable for the government as the gov wins in the long run with regards to electricity prices going up in time along with inflation.

[@krishna2001]

F.d. for 3.5 cr could be almost 10 percent per year which means he will get 35 lacks per annum without any problem and his principl amount is completely safe And he is earning 4lacks p/m means 48 lacks per annum and his whole farm land is coverd I don't think this is comparatively better option for investing this much amount .He could possibly get more income by using his money for other option.

[@prateekgoyal1496]

Wonder why a person is earning 4 lakhs per month but still no material luxury in his vicinity? The cost is so high that for initial 10 years he is making no profit. The cost includes cost of the land, the equipment, the maintenance and opportunity costs (implicit costs). Good luck to him.
