1.1 SYSTEM OVERVIEW

A. About the system

The solar PV Power generation system supplied by Onix Structure Pvt. Ltd. is a high efficient, modular,
extendable and cost effective power generation solution. The system is designed to International Standards
to ensure that you have years of trouble-free operations. As a result of proven technology, the system is highly
efficient and maintenance free. With one-time investment, the Solar provides the prudent way of managing
the energy costs in an eco-friendly way. The savings made on energy costs will help the companies to directly
benefit and contributing to their growth. The List of major components used in this system are listed below.

Solar PV Modules: The sun light (solar radiation) falling on the modules is converted in to DC energy by
photovoltaic principle. The generated by solar modules can either be used to supply the power to the
connected load or to charge the battery bank.

PV Inverter (PCU): PCU is a common terminology used to the system consisting of Inverter and AC
synchronization functionality. PCU does the function of controlling grid power by leading PF and prefer the
solar energy to the load. The system also contains the Charge Controller as part of the same system or as an
independent unit.

Module mounting structure (MMS): MMS is the structure to mount the solar PV modules with specified angle
depending on the location when the system to be mounted. The tilting will vary depending on the longitude
and latitude of the location.

1.2 SYSTEM WORKING PRINCIPLE

Solar photovoltaic (PV) system is like any other electrical power generation systems in terms of the output
except for the source of the power is solar radiation. The conversion of solar radiation to the electrical power
is based on the photovoltaic principles. However, the principles of operation of the connected load and
interfacing with other electrical systems remain the same. Though solar PV array produces power when
exposed to sunlight, a number of other components are required to properly conduct, control, convert,
distribute, and transform the energy produced by the array.

Solar power generating system supplied for this project shall be utilized for powering various office loads like
Computer, Lighting loads, fans etc. for specified hours of sun shine operation.

This system is designed to generate the energy in an eco-friendly manner with the source from solar radiation
which is available in abundance. The system designed is for 1 MW Solar Power Generation Grid Connecting
System. The system does not have any storage for standby power. The solar PV array will have 3125 no’s of
320Wp crystalline solar modules. These modules will be connected in series / parallel combination through
Optimizers to the desired string configuration as per the design parameters of the PCU. The PCU is of 1.2 MVA
capacity with three phase AC Output. Grid power supply is provided to support the loads and to reduce the
Grid power consumption when solar power is available.

The power generated from solar array is fed into the PCU through Optimizer and being inverted by the PCU
(Vac). This voltage is being combined with standard grid supply to the phases (R/Y/B) and will lead the power

factor of the inverter supply by comparing the grid power factor. So the solar generated power will always be
preferred by the leading power factor and rest of the power will be used from the grid as required by the load.
If the load demand is lesser than the solar power generated, the balance power may be exported to grid and
customer may get feed-in benefit as per the policies of the local electricity board. This system is working in
the principal of power factor comparison and the system will feed the power either to load or grid through
grid power supply. That means loads will be indirectly connected with the solar system. So, if the grid supply
is not available at any moment the solar system will shut OFF immediately. We can only use sunlight directly
to the load whenever the grid power is available. The system will shuts OFF at the time of low intensity or no
sun light and restarts automatically when the sunlight is available. The proposed system does not required
any dedicated loads or separate wiring to work on. At the time of power failure if the customer turns ON the
DG supply again the solar system will run and pushes the energy back to the DG. To avoid this reverse current
situation, the DG rating should be at least be 4 to 5 times higher rating than the proposed solar power plant
rating.

System Details:
