Ground Mounted Solar Power Plant
Not every roof is suitable for solar panels – factors such as shade, obstructions, age, and available space can have property owners looking for other locations for installation. When it comes to large-scale solar projects, the most common alternatives to rooftop solar panel systems include ground mounts or solar canopies. Here’s a newer alternative that’s making quite the splash in the solar industry: floating solar.
What Is Grid Connected Ground Mounted Solar Power Plant?
A grid-connected ground-mounted photovoltaic power system is an electricity generating solar PV plant that is connected to the utility grid. A grid-connected PV system consists of solar panels, one or several inverters, and grid connection equipment. Ground-mounted plants are installed on grounds and are mainly centralized form of power generation. Grid-connected Ground-mounted PV Systems always have a connection to the public electricity grid. Even though a solar power farm looks like a development that has a vast impact on the environment and is a step towards a sustainable future but there is more to it than just the environmental aspect.
Advantages Of Grid-Connected Solar Power Plant
- Contribute a lot of clean and green environment than generation from coal, thermal and hydro.
- A photovoltaic power system is carbon negative over its lifespan.
- Solar Park has positive environmental impacts when compared to conventional energy, for instance, reduction of greenhouse gas emissions (CO2, N2O, CH4, etc.), and prevention of toxic gas emissions (SO2, particulates).
- Solar energy systems used in Solar Park are silent because they don’t have a loud moving part. Hence, there is no any sort of disturbing noise pollution coming out from Solar Park
- Solar reduces the need for finite resources: Solar energy is renewable and once completed, it will not need any finite resource for its functioning, unlike conventional based power plants. Thus, having a positive impact on the environment.
OPERATION AND MAINTAINANCE OF SOLAR POWER PLANT
Once the PV solar plant has been built, it needs to be efficiently operated and carefully maintained. Compared to other power generating technologies, solar PV power plants have low maintenance and servicing requirements. Solar project maintenance can help maximize uptime and extend the life of the plant. The delivery of solar power without any disruption maintains the stream of economic value generated by each kilowatt-hour of production, and proper service is a critical component to ensuring optimal performance while minimizing the risks of downtime.
Key work in operation & Maintenance :
• Module cleaning
• Water drainage
• Vegetation management
• Retro-commissioning (identifies and solve problems that have developed during the course of PV system life)
• Wildlife prevention
• Upkeep of data acquisition and monitoring system
• Upkeep of power generating system (Inverter servicing, BOS and other)
• Site maintenance (security, road, fencing, and environmental compliances, snow removal)
• On-site monitoring
• Non-critical reactive repair (addresses production degradation issues)
• Critical reactive repair (high priority, addresses production losses)
• Warranty enforcement
• Spare part and inventory management
• InsTrending and analytics for continuous improvement. urance enforcement
• Monthly reading from Net-meter/gross meter device and submitting the invoice to Power Corporation.
