Experience

a. 1 MW, fixed tilt, ground mounted, Coachella, CA, USA

Coachella is located in southern California in the vicinity of palm springs. The system has been build on tribal land of native American next to Augustine Casino. The system consists of 15228 First Solar FS372 PV Panels. In order to decrease risk of production losses due to inverter failure, the PV Solar electric system has been divided into 4 sub-arrays. Each operating on a Xantrex 250 kW Inverter. The System is facing south, has a fixed tilt of 30° and is mounted on a Schletter aluminium Racking System

Solar Overview

Background

� Global market :

� MW volumes � PV market has grown from 1000 MW in 2004 to around 5600 MW in 2008

� The market is expected to be around 7000 MW in 09 and expected to touch 20,000 MW by 2013

� Key developments � Attractive policies being announced by various countries

� Increasing price of Oil & Gas

� Pricing� The current global production capacity is around 10,000 MW and expected

to be around 30,000 MW by 2013

� Panel prices 2 years ago were about $5/w and are now about $2-$2.5/w and are expected to come down to $1.5/w by end 2012 or sooner

Destination: India

� Excellent insolation (5-7 kWh/m2/day) and abundant land

� Mix of both centralized and decentralized power centers

� Large peak power deficit especially day time peak demand

� Significant technical talent base

� Need for reliable domestic energy source – need to reduce dependence on oil and coal

� Need for decarbonising power generation

� Favorable investment atmosphere

India Background

� India market :

� MW volumes:

� Feed in tariff announced by MNRE in 2006, around 5 MW solar power plants have come up.

� Future potential is 20,000MW by 2020 under the new Prime Minister’s solar mission

� Key developments for growth in the segment:

� Solar policy announced by MNRE with a tariff of Rs18.44/unit

� Declining prices in solar equipment leads to improving ROI

� None of the major players have gone beyond the stage of initial project reports/MoU’s

� Rising oil prices

� RPO framework is in place, which mandates a fixed % of renewal energy out of the total energy

� Pricing:

� The National Solar mission has set the pace for solar energy to expand not only in terms of an attractive tariff policy but also a clear road map

Unique Benefits of Solar

� ZERO Fuel cost for lifetime

� Low maintenance cost – no moving parts

� Flexibility to locate, close to load centers

� Is modular in nature

� Commissioning time is less than 1 year

� Reliable and predictable performance over its entire life span

� Zero human displacement or environmental impact
