Following factors affect the plant performance significantly:

1. Irradiation level at the location of the project
2. Project design
3. Equipment quality

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

If you are looking go solar, here are some of the questions that you should try to answer to identify the best solution for you:

1. What are your energy demands?
2. What is your monthly energy bill?
3. How much would be your savings and which solution (Off-Site, On-Site, or Hybrid Soar) will give you maximum savings?
4. According to your business plan, which model (CAPEX or OPEX) suits you the best?
5. In case of on-site solar, what is the available shadow-free area in your premises?

Based on your plant load, consumption pattern, energy consumption, location of your facility, and available area in your premises, you can choose to procure power from the following set of solutions: large scale an off-site solar project, on-site solar project, Hybrid solar with storage, and energy trading.

Absolutely! The cost of solar energy across all Indian states is significantly lower than the cost of energy procured from the grid. By choosing to go Solar, you can save significantly on your energy bills.

SunSource Energy is an ISO 45001 company. We follow a robust framework to ensure the safety of our people and other stakeholders during the construction of the project. For us, the safety is non-negotiable

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.

SunSource Energy is a preferred partner of more than 100 leading corporations and has developed projects across 24 Indian states and several countries in the South-East Asia over the last decade. We are a part of SHV Energy, a 125-year-old energy major and there for our clients throughout the lifetime of the project.

Over the years, we have developed projects for some of the largest corporations, the clients include Coco-Cola, Yakult, Indian Oil Corporation Limited, Jubilant Foodworks, GE, among various others.

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

The important models are:

1. Captive
2. Group Captive
3. Third Party PPA:

Open access power is a regulatory mechanism that allows a grid-connected bulk consumer with a connected load of 1MW or above to meet a part of or their entire electricity requirements via alternate energy sources.

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

For an On-Site Solar project, you don’t need to invest anything to get a solar project installed at your premises. Whereas, for a group-captive off-site solar project, you’d need hold atleast 26% equity in the project.
