Power supply in most of our cities
and towns is unreliable, forcing people to use small
generators based on kerosene, petrol or diesel Such
generators cause pollution. noise and lead to increased
dependence on oil imports. It has been established that
small photovoltaic systems generators) in the capacity
range of 200-600 watts can be economically viable in
comparison to petrol generators of 500-600 watts capacity.
The solar generators scheme s aimed
at encouraging small shopkeepers. doctors nursing homes
and other establishments to install solar generators
Detailed specifications of the solar generators will
be drawn up and manufacturers will be a to submit their
samples for testing by the Solar Energy Centre (SEC)
/ Other Authorized Test Centers (OATC5) Solar Generators
which are type tested can be marketed under the scheme
through state nodal agencies.
A subsidy of 40% with an upper limit
of Rs. 40,000 will be provided on each generator There
will be four models of solar generators, depending upon
their PV panel capacity & other related features
as given below :
Models of Solar Generators
Model
PV Capacity
Estimates Cost
Model - I
150 Wp
Rs. 45,000/-
Model - II
300 Wp
Rs. 90,000/-
Model - III
450 Wp
Rs. 1,35,000/-
Model - IV
9000 Wp
Rs. 1,80,000/-
Users will also be eligible for loans
on the balance cost of the solar generators. under the
new interest subsidy scheme introduced for SPV market
development during the current year.
Initially a pilot programme may be
taken up in a cost effective and transparent manner
under which each eligible manufacture will be allowed
to implement one pilot project in a shopping commercial
area of any city and offer the benefit of subsidy and
soft loans to the user The subsidy n respect of such
pilot projects wilt be released directly by MNES to
the manufactures ensuring necessary financial safeguards.
who will also be required to provide necessary warranties
and after sates service of at least five years Each
pilot project may coger 50-100 generators and will be
sanctioned on the basis of concrete proposals received
re manufacturers.
