    The 357 MW solar project will generate clean, renewable energy, reducing Assam’s dependence on fossil fuels. By producing solar power locally, it will lower carbon emissions and help combat climate change. Additionally, the decentralized nature of these solar plants ensures a stable power supply for agricultural and rural areas, improving energy access and reliability.

    The PM-KUSUM (Pradhan Mantri Kisan Urja Suraksha evam Utthaan Mahabhiyan) scheme is a government initiative to promote solar energy in rural areas. Under Component-A, farmers in Assam can lease their land to set up small solar power plants (up to 2 MW) near 33/11 kV substations. This allows farmersRead more

    The PM-KUSUM (Pradhan Mantri Kisan Urja Suraksha evam Utthaan Mahabhiyan) scheme is a government initiative to promote solar energy in rural areas. Under Component-A, farmers in Assam can lease their land to set up small solar power plants (up to 2 MW) near 33/11 kV substations. This allows farmers to earn extra income from their land while contributing to clean energy production. The 357 MW project by Assam Power Distribution Company Limited (APDCL) aims to make this opportunity accessible to farmers across the state.

    Yes, you can run a 1.5 Ton AC on solar power without batteries by using a grid-tied solar power system. As your solar system is connected with the grid, you can easilty run all your heavy appliances irrespective of the capacity of your solar panels.

    It depends on the total capacity of solar panels and your electricity meter capacity. In most states the maximum capacity of rooftop solar a person can install in upto the total capacity of your power connection (meter). As per the MNRE benchmark price, the total cost for a 3Kw system is Rs 1.45 lakRead more

    It depends on the total capacity of solar panels and your electricity meter capacity. In most states the maximum capacity of rooftop solar a person can install in upto the total capacity of your power connection (meter). As per the MNRE benchmark price, the total cost for a 3Kw system is Rs 1.45 lakh. However, the final cost of the project is mutually decided by the consumer and solar vendor. So despite the MNRE benchmark price which is not mandatory, the solar project vendors install a 3 Kw system often at higher price ranging from Rs 1.5 lakh to Rs 3 lakh based on the technology, reputation of the vendor, services it is providing and other parameters.

    To estimate how much electricity your solar system can generate in a day, you need a few key pieces of information:

    The total DC capacity of your solar system (in kW)

    The average number of peak sunlight hours in your area (also called solar irradiation)

    Just multiply your system size by the peak sunlight hours to get the theoretical daily generation.
    For example, if you have a 3 kW system and your area gets 5 hours of good sunlight daily, then:

    3 kW × 5 hours = 15 units (kWh) per day (theoretical)

    However, in real-world conditions, solar systems usually operate at about 78% to 80% efficiency due to energy losses (from wiring, inverter, dust on panels, etc.).

    So, you can expect around 20% less generation than the theoretical figure.
    Using the example above, the actual generation would be about:
