On Grid Solar Plant for over 2.5 Years | User Experience Review

[@geekyranjit]

Here is the playlist of the videos on Solar Power kzbin.info/aero/PLtIc4giS3RKMhFspLm6dToNVJOlSLaf92 I will continue to add more useful videos on Solar Power and Solar plant plus educational videos on this topic, so do let me know what you info you guys want and I'll try to create a video on that topic in the next few weeks.

[@MANOJKUMAR-eb3ln]

Ranjit sir please make a video on solar finance options.

nice sir

[@StudyWithHarshit]

sir please make a more videos on solar lights also.

[@MukulNethrana]

hello ranjit sir I'm planning to install on grid solar system I have a question if electricity cut did solar system works or not

[@SanjayKumar-hr2te]

Ranjit a serious suggestion, if you are interviewing someone please let that person speak....!!!

[@sn-xc7rv]

He has always shown this problem with every guest he has on the channel…

[@navneetjain0]

dawg, he is just helping the man out who is struggling to convey in the appropriate terms

[@SanjayKumar-hr2te]

@@maheshkhuman2880 technical aspects aside....its basics of an interview...and its not the first time he has done that. It was of course a fabulous topic, but was irritating because of this issue!!!

[@SC_AutoTech]

* Introduction (0:00 - 0:55) * Ranjit introduces himself and says he is at his friend Pavan's place to talk about Pavan's 2.5 year experience with an on-grid solar plant. * Pavan's solar plant details (0:55 - 3:25) * Pavan's plant is a 5 kilowatt unit with microinverters. * It cost 3.5 lakhs including installation and everything. * Pavan chose microinverters so that even if one unit fails, the others can still generate electricity. * Benefits of Pavan's solar plant (3:25 - 7:05) * Pavan offsets his monthly electricity bill by a lot. * For example, in May, his plant generated 750 units and he used 3-4 AC units and an electric car. * He exported 250 units to the grid. * Pavan gets money back from the grid for the electricity he exports. * This means his monthly electricity bill is almost zero. * Pavan's solar plant has also reduced his reliance on higher electricity bands, which are more expensive. * Pavan's plant generates up to 24 units on cloudy days. * Maintenance of Pavan's solar plant (7:05 - 8:00) * Pavan only needs to spend 5 minutes a month cleaning his panels. * He does this early in the morning or late at night when the panels are not generating electricity. * Return on investment (ROI) of Pavan's solar plant (8:00 - 9:35) * Pavan expects to recover his costs in 5-6 years. * He says that if he had gone with string inverters, his ROI would have been 3 years. * Pavan did not get any government subsidies for his solar plant. * He says that the government is now offering incentives for solar power, so the ROI would be even better for people who install solar panels now. * Pavan's app (9:35 - 10:20) * Pavan has an app that shows him how much electricity each panel is generating. * This allows him to see if there are any problems with individual panels. * Conclusion (10:20 - 11:56) * Pavan is very happy with his solar plant and recommends it to others. * He says that the cost of electricity is only going to go up, so solar power is a good investment. * He says that people can be innovative with how they install solar panels, so they don't have to worry about losing space. I hope this corrected summary is helpful!

[@sureshkumargondi4631]

Ranjith, what's the dimension of that space taken for the whole 8 panels? height and width? these information helps too.

[@vivekvs1992]

Please also look into how your local electricity board does the billing... The Kerala electricity board is basically a predatory system, reducing the rate of solar electricity year after year, pushing towards gross metering etc. I have half a mind to just go off grid, but then I have to cycle batteries every few years..

[@dhayananthankanagasabai8880]

The interviewer is cautious about maximum information in the possible time and the person interviewed being new to media, needs to be assisted in answering , and it is quite natural

[@chettiarsirusraj9501]

If this person's place doesn't have power cuts frequently then the current on-grid solar setup is fine otherwise if his place is prone to power cuts then getting a battery included in this setup is necessary so that his solar panels can produce and supply power to his house even during a power cut.

Panels easily last for 25-30 years even in India most vendors give a performance warranty of Solar generation for 25 years. But I feel you might have to change the inverter after 15 odd years once.

How difficult is it to get an on-grid solution - How do I phrase this... The process of having to work with electricity board or documentation etc? And how would one avail a subsidy for this? And for areas with frequent power cut is running a house with normal UPS better or should it be a on-grid + off grid solution, and what would be the cost of that? Also If I'm not wrong is this in Hyderabad? Is it dependent on the city's board or do most cities have the option of on grid power?

[@geekyranjit]

All cities have the on-grid option, now it's the right of every consumer in India and the electricty board can't deny it, but it's paper works and permissions so go with an Solar installer that takes care of all those things.

Hey Ranjit, i was planning to go with solar and even booked it. But i had a very bad experience with a company named "Solar Square", they engulfed the money and went silent. Going forward please suggest some good providers or what is the best way to get solar installed.

[@geekyranjit]

Check with ppl in local area what installer they have used, tata Power also does Solar installation for homes but they are a bit on the expensive side. The thing to note is go with a Solar provider who has been in the Industry for at-leat over 5 years, don't do with fly by new companies, that might offer you lower rates but we don't know if they will be in business for long.

If you are consuming more electricity than you are generating then you pay. For example let's say your Solar plant generated 10 units of electricity but you used 12 units, so you will pay for that 2 extra units.
