Rooftop solar power plants
Is there money to be made on your roof? With the never-ending availability of sunshine and the evolution of solar technology many are recognizing the benefits of solar. "As sunshine never ending, we think the same should be true for the knowledge around solar energy." - INSTITUTE OF SOLAR TECHNOLOGY A rooftop solar power plant works by generating electricity from the photovoltaic modules put up on the roof and feeds it to the building for its internal consumption. A 100KW rooftop solar power plant covers 1,500 square meters of roof area reducing the peak electricity demand on power grid and DG sets while simultaneously improving local air quality. Soon, individual households and enterprises in the State that generate their own solar power on their rooftops and share any surplus with the State grid can expect to reap monthly cash returns from their energy utility — or at least a slashed electricity bill, according to senior government officials.
