BRIEF ABOUT 2 X1 MWp SOLAR PILOT PROJECT

Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) has set ambitious target of 1,00,000 MW Solar
Power by the year 2022. Large Solar Parks require huge land, huge investment in HV/EHV
power Transmission and evacuation networks from such parks. A transformation loss in
stepping up and stepping down voltage again to reach the retail consumers is cost to economy.
Distributed solar generation of 1 MW to 4 MW at single location could be evacuated and directly
distributed through the existing 11 KV networks of the DISCOMS. This will eliminate the cost of
setting up Extra High Voltage (EHV) sub-stations and transmission system and also
transformation and transmission losses of 66 KV and above level will also get avoided.
Distributed Solar Plant requires comparatively smaller area of land but in large numbers
spreading over geographical region. Hence, a novel idea was floated to use the land for
agriculture production also besides solar power generation. By appropriately modifying solar
panel lay out and the design of module mounting structure, agricultural activities can be taken
up beneath solar arrays. As per opinion of agricultural experts, quite a good numbers of crop
can be produce under the solar panel. Hence, if this pilot project is implemented successfully
then it has a huge potential to replicate at many places by involving local farmers. Thus, the
land can be utilized for dual purpose i.e. for Solar Power generation as well as farming. Such
distributed Solar Plant with dual purpose will not only help achieve the target of Solar Power
generation, but also enable the use of the same land for agriculture, which otherwise remains
idle.
With the above objective, GIPCL has been nominated as Implementing Agency for two pilot
projects of 1 MW each at village Amrol, Taluka: Anklav, Dist: Anand in Central Gujarat and at
Village Vastan, Taluka : Mangrol, Dist: Surat, near our SLPP Plant in South Gujarat.

facility of the Contractor as per latest edition of IEC 61215, IEC 61730,
IEC 61701 and any other applicable standard. Samples for testing shall
be drawn randomly in presence of GIPCL/ inspecting agency from the lot
offered for inspection.
Upon delivery of the photovoltaic modules on site, they shall be sampled
randomly and tested for performance through an MNRE approved testing
agency assigned by the Company. The result of such testing agency shall
be binding to both the parties and shall be considered final performance
measurement report for the guarantee / warrantee conditions of this
contract.
In case of underperformance or rejection of the photovoltaic modules
during above inspection or during operational life time of project, the
GIPCL shall notify the Contractor of such underperformance or rejection
by email or in writing.
Consecutively, Contractor shall immediately replace such PV modules by
supplying a new photovoltaic module of similar specification conforming
to the required performance criteria and warranty to the Company within a

Upon receipt of the new module by the Company, the Company shall
then dispatch the rejected/defective photovoltaic module to the Contractor
at his cost.
The cost of transportation of the modules from the Supplier to the site of
the Company, and return shall be borne by the Contractor.
This initiation of supply of the photovoltaic modules by the Contractor to
the Company is to ensure modules of full capacity onsite all the time in
case the PV power plant needs to be commissioned immediately. The
cost for replacement of modules shall be borne by Contractor.
Liquidated damages clause shall apply to any delay in replacement of
defective modules which affect the generation from the solar plant.
Definition of Performance Ratio: The Performance-Ratio (PR) is a
measure of the quality of a PV plant that is independent of location and
insolation (insolation is a technical term to quantify the power in solar
irradiation), and therefore, often described as a quality factor. The
Performance-Ratio is stated as percent and describes the relationship
between the actual and nominal energy outputs. It thus shows the
proportion of the energy that is actually available for export to the grid
after deduction of energy loss (e.g. due to thermal losses and conduction
losses).
The procedure for performance monitoring shall be as per the standard
IEC 61724 Photovoltaic System Performance Monitoring: Guidelines for
measurement, data exchange and analysis.
The performance of the complete plant shall be demonstrated by GIPCL
at the time of PG test. PV Module Contractors representative shall also
be deputed to witness the test. PV modules, the main source for power
generation, performance shall be checked during PG test and the
Performance ratio of the complete plant shall be minimum 78%.

All items shall be inspected and tested by Owner / Owners representative or

inspection agency, Owner's Dispatch Clearance shall be required unless prior
authorization in writing by OWNER to Bidder to accept Third Party Dispatch
clearance is issued.

4.11.6

Contractor shall arrange and extend necessary cooperation for effectively


carrying out inspection / testing. However, this shall not absolve the responsibility
of the Contractor in providing the performance guarantee / warrantee.
