India's first solar-powered village promotes green energy, sustainability and self-reliance https://news.un.org/story/2022/10/1129802
Armed with a large array of solar panels on the rooftops of houses, on Government schools, bus stops, utility buildings, car parks and even the premises of the Sun Temple, Modhera benefits from the six-megawatt installed capacity power plant in nearby Sujjanpura village.
More than 1,300 households have 1 KW Rooftop Solar Systems on Residential buildings.
316 KW Rooftop Solar PV Systems on various government buildings at Modhera, Samlanpura and Sujjanpura villages.
With the village consumption merely one to two megawatts, the excess is added to the transmission grid.
50 KW Solar Parking Infrastructure with 150 kWh Battery Storage with Electric Charging Stations at the Modhera Sun Temple
With the electricity bill in minus, Ashaben is not only saving the money that she used to spend on electricity, but the excess electricity generated is sold back to the grid and she gets money in return.
Comment by Shankar Sharma Potential of house top SPVs for India. When will our authorities realise that such roof-top SPVs should be the future for our country; and not the coal, gas or nuclear power?
