Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

SOLAR POWER IN YOUR SOCIETY

Dear Friends ,


At the outset , congratulations on installing a Solar Roof Top plant in your society


I read about it in yesterday’s Hindustan Times and sent to you following link through your web site :





I got following highlights ( of your installation ) from the news report :


·         System  consists of 256 solar panels on 3 buildings ( 74 Kwp )
·         Was installed within ONE MONTH

·         Helped by : Saur Engineers Consultants Private Limited

·         Total cost of installation = Rs 47 lakhs

·         Total Subsidy from Maharashtra Government = Rs 12.81 lakhs ( @ Rs 18,300 / Kwp )

·         You expect to recover the cost (entire Rs 47 lakhs ? ) over 4 years

·         System is registered in National Data Repository ( MNRE’s National Solar Mission )

·         A net-metering system is installed to enable surplus power to be fed back into the grid

·         Power Supplier ( DISCOM ) will charge the Society , only at the end of the year for “ net usage “

·         Society will save Rs 97,000 / month ( Rs 11.7 lakhs / year )

·         Estimated solar electricity generated / day = Between 240 – 274 Kwh

·         MNRE estimate :

#   Ave 2 BHK flat in Mumbai , needs 10-12 Kwh of electricity

    #  A 74 Kwp system can help save over 2276 tons of carbon being released over 10
        years

    #   Saving in carbon emission is equivalent to planting 3641 full-grown teak trees


Apparently , your Society raised Rs 34 lakhs ( Rs 47 lakhs – Rs 13 lakhs of subsidy )


At 10 % interest , that would cost you , Rs 3.4 lakhs / year  ( say , Rs 30,000 / month )


But , if that fund of Rs 34 lakhs was “ interest free “ , then how much less would that power cost ?


To get a glimpse , you may want to look up :
