Topsun Sets Up GUVNL-commissioned 1 MW Solar Plant in Gujarat

• This is the initial plant set up by Topsun which was commissioned by Gujarat Urja Vikas Nigam Ltd
• Power emptying to grid was finished under the Small-Scale Distributed Solar Projects (SSDSP) 2019 scheme

Gandhinagar-based rooftop solar supplier Topsun Power Ltd has actually established a 1 MW solar power plant, their very first one to be appointed by Gujarat Urja Vikas Nigam Ltd. (GUVNL). Power emptying to grid has been finished effectively under the Small-Scale Distributed Solar Projects (SSDSP) 2019 scheme.

Established in 2007, Topsun supplies innovative photovoltaic items and systems for residential, industrial, commercial and also huge range solar plants. It provides mono, poly, BIPV, and PVGU modules, along with solar water pumping systems. The firm claims to have mounted 1100+ on-grid roof projects and also 15000+ solar water pumps.

SSDSP intends to facilitate development of solar projects in the dimension variety of 0.5 MW to 4 MW in the state's distribution network. The major purpose is to establish solar PV projects in scattered pockets of barren as well as uncultivable lands. The policy is anticipated to supply exposure to tiny designers in terms of available tariffs for the sale of power and aid promote small-scale entrepreneurs.

GUVNL, a wholly-owned state electricity guideline board in the state of Gujarat, has actually remained in the information since the start of this year. In April, Coal India Limited (CIL) announced that it had actually signed its extremely first Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with the Gujarat utility for the sale of 100 MW of solar power to it. The state-backed coal mining and refining entity authorized a 25-year agreement with GUVNL.

A month later, SJVN Limited announced that it had once again became the victor in the public auctions performed by the GUVNL for 100 MW solar projects to be developed in the Raghanesda Solar Park. SJVN won the project ability at a tariff of Rs 2.64/ kWh.

Most just recently, GUVNL has just recently stated that the simple average of solar tariffs found and acquired via competitive bidding procedure performed by it for non-park based solar projects during the period from October 1st, 2020 to March 31, 2021, is Rs 1.99/ unit. Appropriately, based on the arrangements of Gujarat Solar Policy 2021, this rate of Rs. 1,99/ unit is to be paid by discoms for surplus solar power injected into the grid. This compensation price applies on appropriate solar projects commissioned or to be commissioned throughout the duration from April 1st, 2021 to September 30, 2021.
