On 24/02/2024, EcoSoch's Solarcare team carried out its routine panel cleaning of one of our installations at Brigade Altamont. The capacity of the system is 100.8kWp with SolarEdge inverter technology: Description Specifications Capacity 100.8kWp Modules REC 400Wp - 252 modules Solar Inverter SolarEdge SE27.6k x 3 inverters System Type Grid Synchronous, net metered [...]
Why should Apartments go for Rooftop Solar? Cost Savings: Rooftop solar installations can significantly reduce the common area electricity bills for apartment complexes by generating their own clean energy. With solar power, apartments can offset a portion of their energy consumption from the grid, leading to substantial long-term savings. Additionally, government subsidies [...]
The Servo Controlled Voltage Stabilizer (5kVA) is a precision-designed voltage regulation solution that ensures stable and reliable power supply for sensitive electronic equipment. With a capacity of 5kVA (5000VA), it is suitable for various applications, including small to medium-sized commercial establishments, offices, and industrial setups. Issues Voltage fluctuations are variations in the voltage levels [...]
For solar rooftop installations, it's often unnecessary to install new AC earth pits. Existing AC earth pits, if designed properly to handle fault current, are usually sufficient. In a solar setup, the overall AC current in the circuit doesn't increase. Before solar, if 10A flowed in the AC circuit, the entire 10A came from the [...]
In certain cases, there would be a variation in the tilt angle of solar panels at a single site itself due to unevenness of the roof, solar arrays spread across multiple roofs, curvature of barriers, uneven cement patches and to avoid shadows from adjacent solar tables and walls. In such cases, customers can raise the [...]
We get questions from clients about oversizing of inverters and why we are connecting more panels to an inverter - like connecting 33 kWp of panels to a 27.6 kVA inverter. Isn't this inefficient or a wastage of solar panels? Let's say that we are using 380Wp panels. The panel is rated 380Wp under STC [...]
Technically Yes. All earthing pits should be bonded together so that there is equipotential bonding amongst them thus preventing back-feed from earth. However, some DISCOMs insist that DC earthing pits, AC earthing pits and LA pits should be kept separate. Please have a read of Legrand's Protection against Lightning Effects guide (Page 8) which [...]
With highly sensitive electrical and electronic components in solar installations, the need for protection of these costly equipment against fault and lightning current is very much necessary. Electrostatic discharge can damage sensitive electronic equipment and disturb the solar power supply. Any voltage difference between individual electronic units can destroy valuable equipment. In addition, noise [...]
Is it financially viable in the long run? In the financial year of 2019-20, the number of apartment associations looking at installing solar rooftop systems as part of their go-green initiatives has dramatically increased. It also helps in cost cutting opportunity for apartment communities. Â This blog tries to answer a [...]
On 25/08/2018, EcoSoch commissioned one of its first apartment project for Hemalatha Heights at Bangalore. As part of this case study, we would be comparing the BESCOM bill of this apartment pre & post solar installation. Details of the project are provided below: Description Specifications Capacity 35kWp Modules Waaree 335Wp - 105 modules [...]
