Design & Installation of Rooftop Hybrid PV System
A Hybrid Solar PV system is perhaps the most versatile and programmable configuration among the different available topologies in the Rooftop solar PV systems. This video is a detailed description on the design and installation of a Hybrid PV system. Here we have gone in detail about each component of the Hybrid system and tried to explain its design, safety, role and installation.
Shallow Aquifer, The Untapped water Source
An attempt is being made to explain the different aquifers in the context of Urban water and rainwater harvesting. Real-world example is taken to show the availability of water from both the aquifers. The water from the open well is tested for drinking water standards (IS 10500).
Harvesting from the Agro-PV Setup
Harvesting Cauliflower grown below the Solar Panels
On Grid Solar PV System using Micro-inverters
An on-grid system is a configuration where solar power produced is interfaced with the power utility grid. A net-metering arrangement is made for the purpose of billing.
Automatic Solar Panel Cleaning System
Keeping the Solar panels clean is very important in a rooftop solar PV setup. A dirty solar panel reduces efficiency and can also cause hot-spots on the solar panels. In most of our projects, to avoid shadow effects, we elevate the structure. However, with elevated structure, cleaning of the panels becomes difficult. So a walkway is provided between solar panels for easy accessibility. In spite of a walkway, due to various reasons like paucity of time or due to non-availability of manpower, one needs to have an automatic solar panel cleaning system. In this video, we have shown one such system where the solar panels get cleaned automatically every day.
Agri-Volatic or Agro-Voltaic Setup
The Agro-PV or APV or an Agri-Voltaic system is a system where there is vegetation below the solar panels. Rooftop Solar Plants need not be just Solar panels, a few pillars, and rafters to support the solar panels. With a little effort and innovation, Rooftop solar power plants can be made into a beautiful space on the Roof
Groundwater Recharge and Groundwater Economics
Groundwater is the most important source of water for a country like India. It is very important to understand the nuances of the shallow aquifer and its recharge. In this video, We have tried to explain how the shallow aquifer works and the advantages of shallow aquifer recharge. Shallow aquifer gives perhaps the best quality of water at the cheapest possible price. Making recharge wells and ensuring it is consistently recharged will go a long way in ensuring India's water security.
Rooftop Agro Photovoltaic Solar power system using micro inverters
An Agro-Solar photovoltaic system is a new concept in solar power engineering where a garden (or a farm) is developed below the solar panels . This optimises the space and also increases the crop yield. An ongrid system is a configuration where solar power produced is interfaced with the power utility grid. A net metering arrangement is made for the purpose of billing. More information about net metering is in this link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-nmOw.... On grid configuration is perhaps the simplest configuration and has maximum ROI. Inverters are the brain of the system and right selection of inverter is critical for smooth and safe functioning of the system. A micro inverter is placed below each solar panel and the entire system is a parallel configuration . Micro inverters are the safest inverters currently available since it completely avoids DC cabling and DC voltages. Watch the video for more information .
