Frequently Asked Questions

What are the key factors that affect the solar power generation?

Following factors affect the plant performance significantly:

  • Irradiation level at the location of the project
  • Project design
  • Equipment quality

Once the asset is developed, Asset Management plays a key part in ensuring optimum generation

What are the various Open Access charges?

Each state has different regulations for Open access projects. Hence, charges for such projects vary with its location and procurement model. However, most states do have favourable policies for open access and have generally exempted Open Access projects from many of these charges.

Various charges under the Open Access mechanism include:

Transmission charges - Charges are payable to the transmission company for using the transmission infrastructure.

Wheeling charges - Charges are payable to the distribution company for using the infrastructure.

Transmission losses and Wheeling losses- These are the electricity losses incurred during the transmission and distribution of power.

Cross-subsidy surcharge (CSS) - These are payable by commercial and industrial buyers to fund the tariff subsidy for agricultural and residential buyers.

Additional surcharge (AS)

Banking charges

Will the installation of the solar power plant damage my roof?

No, there will be no damage done to your roof. Furthermore, we work with both penetrative as well as non-penetrative structures based on the clients need.

Who will look after the system after commissioning?

SunSource Energy ensures complete management of the asset during the term of the PPA.

What are the advantages of using Solar+Battery Storage Hybrid?

Solar projects with BESS allow you to use firm clean power even during the evening hours when the solar power project doesn’t produce electricity. This is especially useful at locations where along with the power from grid, you have reliance on diesel based power to ensure the continuity of the business.

When can I expect to start saving from my Solar Power Project?

Solar Power is cheaper than the power you currently procure from the grid. Hence, you can expect savings from the Day one.

Do you provide solar power through Open Access?

Yes, we already have off-site Open Access projects developed across various parts of the country. You can connect with our team here or read more about the solutions here.

The Energy Transition Journey for Data Centers

In India's context, solar power alone holds immense potential, contributing up to 65% of a Data Centers’ energy needs. However, this percentage can substantially increase by integrating solar power with other renewable sources like wind energy or employing efficient Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS).
