Solar Energy solutions have gained increasing popularity in the last few years – primarly due to increasing awareness, advancing technology, government assistance and various other factors.
The biggest impact of this growth is being felt in the corporate or industrial solar sector.
Now, Cleanmax Solar has proven expertise in industrial solar and has completed over 200 projects across 20 industries.
In the industrial solar category, the most popular is the BOOT Model. In this Build Own Operate Transfer model, the buyer avoids CAPEX and the performance risk and pays only for the energy generated – which normally 20% to 40% lower than the grid tariffs. Operations and maintenance are handled by CleanMax Solar under an agreement.
The world’s energy needs are rising exponentially every year and the natural resources that generate this energy are being consumed at an alarming rate. Not only are we depleting natural resources, but also polluting the one and only planet we have.
It is critical and imperative to explore alternate means of energy not just to preserve our planet but also bequeath a sustainable environment for future generations. The next level of industrialization and development that will be soon upon us will require non-traditional energy resources.
So, it is vital to explore alternate means of energy.
Forms of energy.
The alternate forms of energy include: solar photovoltaic energy, solar thermal energy, wind energy, hydro energy and biomass energy. These are naturally occurring; but unlike coal and oil, they can be replenished.
Alternate energy solutions have the advantage of being environmental friendly as they involve the use of clean and natural resources. However, some of the alternate energy solutions like nuclear energy may be polluting.
The world’s electricity needs can be met by alternate energy solutions as they are practical and affordable.
These solutions will reduce our dependence on fossil fuels, lead to diversification of electricity supply, create new industries and employment – all the while cutting down on global warming and pollution.
As more and more governments grasp the benefits of alternate energy solutions, the demand for these alternate energy solutions is on the rise.
The costs of using alternate energy solutions have fallen over the last few years, making them economically competitive. The prices are expected to fall further.
To make these solutions even more attractive, the state should form policies that give investors the confidence to expand the markets for these solutions. Most countries in the world have created a friendly economic environment for the development of these solutions.
India has been proactive and is at the forefront of the alternate energy revolution – leading the emergence of many companies who are investing in the alternate energy solutions market.
The Indian government has set a target of 100 GW of solar energy by 2022 and this may not be as ambitious as it sounds. A report released by the Cleveland-based Institute of Energy Economics and Financial Analysis suggested that the installed capacity of solar power in India can reach 75 GW by 2022 delivering up to 110 TWh or 22% of the required electricity increase in the country.
These projections are likely to change for the better as there is a lot of focus on solar energy in India and the environment is very fluid.
It is interesting to note that India is replicating Germany’s and China’s planned electricity sector transformation with the added advantage that the cost effectiveness of this is accentuated by the fact that the cost of solar electricity has dropped by 80% during the last five years.
It is safe to assume that in a few years alternate means of energy will be the most common, efficient and cheapest way to generate electricity.
An insight in to the Solar Energy goals of India https://cleanmaxsolar.com/blog/india-looks-power/
With the growing popularity of solar energy, there is a demand for different kinds of systems. In this scenario, it is important to understand the different kind of solar energy systems. There are 3 kinds of systems: (a) On-Grid Solar Roof Systems and (b) Off-Grid Solar Roof Systems (c) Hybrid Roof Systems
The On-Grid Solar Roof System is one of the most widely used in the market.
This is a SPGS (Solar-Powered Generation System) where the solar photovoltaic system is connected to and integrated with the grid. The power generated by this system is sent to the electricity provider or the grid from where it is used to run the appliances. The installation of this system is hassle-free and it is easy to maintain. The components are: A) Solar PV Modules. B) Mounting Structures. C) Solar Inverter. D) Monitoring Device. E) Bi-Directional Net Meter F) BOS
How Does This System Work?
The solar panels absorb the sunlight that falls on them and convert the rays into electricity – this generated power is DC (direct current) which is then converted to AC (alternating current) by the solar invertor. The converted current is then sent to the grid from where it is supplied for daily use.
The net meter is a unit that records the electricity which is sent to the grid and the electricity that is used. At the end of a month the net meter generates a “net” statement of consumption.
Benefits.
When a consumer has installed this system, he has to pay only for the power consumed by him minus the power supplied back to the grid. Naturally the more power that is generated, the lower the electricity bill.
Net metering is another benefit for the on-grid solar roof system. It allows consumers to feed extra solar power into the grid when the power is not needed and receive a credit on the electricity bill. Net metering simply uses the grid as a huge battery to balance demand supply gaps.
Lower Maintenance.
There are three kinds of Solar Powered Generation Systems in the market. Off-grid, On-Grid and Hybrid. Of these, the On-Grid system has the fewest number parts. An easy installation and the absence of batteries makes this a popular system.
How is a On-Grid rooftop solar system installed?
We have created a video which shows the actual installation of a solar rooftop facility by CleanMax Solar at Alkem Laboratories in Navi Mumbai, Maharashtra.
The step-by-step process is as follows:
Step 1: Designing and Marking for the system installation.
Step 2: Civil Work and Curing
This includes building columns to hold mounting structures. There is no drilling or puncturing on the rooftop. This process takes about 6 days.
Step 3: Module Mounting and Structure Installation.
Now the execution team installs the module mounting structures on civil foundations.
Step 4: Module Installation
Solar modules (panels) are bolted onto the structures after this. This process takes a few days, depending on the size of installation. In this case, it took 4 days.
Step 5: Cabling
The modules are now connected in series with DC cables to the inverter, and with AC cables from the inverter to the evacuation point Alkem’s LT panel).
Step 6: Inverter Connection and Grid Synchronisation
The inverter is now charged and begins synchronizing the solar power with Alkem’s existing electrical grid.
Step 7: Seamless Power Distribution
Lastly, seamless power distribution begins as soon as the electrical connections are in place.
Installing a solar plant is not only a hassle-free it is also a wise business move to reduce operational costs.

Rooftop Solar plants are precisely what they are: Solar plants that are installed on the roofs of offices, factories, universities and other buildings to generate clean and efficient solar power.
While there has been enormous interest and investment in the utility-scale solar power plants in India, there is also a growing interest in the untapped and unexplored rooftop solar sector. This change in direction throws up quite a few challenges and surprises.
The first challenge is that rooftops in India or in other parts of the world hold utilities such as water tank, AC chillers, ducts, heat vents etc. Thus, space available is limited. Adding to this challenge is another one: roofs can be RCC, sloping RCC, slanting metal or curved metal.
An example of this challenge is the Carlsberg factory where the roof was dome-shaped and highly curved. Engineers from CleanMax Solar established access to the rooftop by setting up a ladder through which a safety line with harnesses and ropes was established around the dome. Wires with anchor points were designed to hold the workers and a walkaway was created to enable easy movement across the roof. Workers were also given special training every day.
The 471 kWp plant was completed in a record 60 days and is the first solar-powered brewery in the country.

The second challenge is that rooftop solar plants in India are usually in cities. This means that the pollution in urban zones can lead to high temperature and low irradiation on the solar panels. On the other hand, utility-scale solar projects are far away from densely populated areas and enjoy clear and open skies. But in urban zones, commercial buildings have high electricity charges. Thus, rooftop solar plants can be put up as, on an average, they 25-40% cheaper than prevailing grid electricity. CleanMax Solar with its OPEX model has 60% of its rooftop projects in urban areas wherein corporates or institutional clients save money on their electricity bills without any investment.
The third challenge is the direction and angle of inclination of the roofs. The ideal direction for solar project installation is South. But rooftops may not always allow that. This challenge was faced and successfully overcome by CleanMax Solar in the case of NBC Bearings facility in Rajasthan. We chose to install on the ground, thus allowing higher generation than a north lit roof. CleanMax Solar installed a tracker-based system after flattening a 40-year old scrapyard. A tracker-based system ‘tracks’ the movement of the sun through the day – it is an axle based on a shaft that rotates to maximize the solar irradiation that falls on the modules. The shaft starts at 45 degrees east in the morning and goes up to 45 degrees west in the evening.
Other challenges faced by the rooftop industry include the availability of load at the client’s site and net-metering regulations – both of which play a critical role in the financial viability of rooftop solar plants in India.
What the rooftop solar industry in India needs today, are policies that favor the growth of this segment. This market primarily runs on the CAPEX model, but the Build-Own-Operate (I.e. BOO) OPEX Model (model without investment) has been single biggest factor in rapid growth and adoption of rooftop solar category in last couple of years . India’s ambition of 40 GW of rooftop power plants by 2022 seems difficult but attainable.
CleanMax Solar set up Konecranes’ first ever global solar plant near Pune in Maharashtra. The company set up a solar plant under the BOO Model and took upon itself the responsibility to maintain the plant and ensure uninterrupted power generation. The plant has a net-metering facility where surplus power is sent to the grid on weekly holidays for which Konecranes gets the credit. This facility is estimated to save the company 17% in electricity bills.

This was set up on 11 academic, administrative and hostel buildings to handle 15% of the campus’ power requirements. This plant will be maintained by CleanMax Solar for the next 25 years.
