What is Solar Rooftop

A solar photovoltaic (PV) system mounted on a rooftop of a building is a minipower plant that converts solar energy into electricity to meet the property's power requirements or feed into the grid. Although anyone can install a solar rooftop system, the size of the installation varies significantly depending on availability of space, amount of electricity consumed by the property, and the ability or willingness of the owner to invest the capital required.

A 1 kW rooftop solar system generally requires 10 sq. meters of shadow-free area. However, actual area requirements may vary depending on the efficiency of solar module, their placement, etc. A 1 KW system can generate about 1,600 units of electricity in a year.

The basic components of a solar rooftop PV system include PV modules, inverters and mounting structures. Other components like string boxes, transformers, meters, charge controllers, batteries and generators can also be incorporated into the system depending on its size.

Subsidy Scheme

Central Government Subsidy/ Central Financial Assistance (CFA) is available exclusively to residential sector grid-connected rooftop solar projects. The details of the subsidy for residential consumers are provided below:

PLANT CAPACITY	SUBSIDY
1kW – 2 kW	Rs 30,000 to Rs 60,000/-
2kW – 3 kW	Rs 60,000 to Rs 78,000/-
Above 3 kW	Rs 78,000/- fixed

State Government Subsidy for the residential sector-Uttar Pradesh Government will provide a subsidy of Rs 15,000/kW to a maximum of Rs 30,000, which will be over and above the Central Government Subsidy provided.

SYSTEM COST

The cost of the system is considered the most important aspect in installing a solar rooftop. It broadly depends on the type of the system and the financial incentives and subsidies provided by the government. A 1 kW solar rooftop system typically costs around Rs 70,000, according to the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy.

OPERATION- BASED CLASSIFICATION

Judging by operation, a solar rooftop PV can be classified into three types :-

Grid-connected solar rooftop PV system

A grid-connected solar rooftop PV system is, as the name suggests, a plant connected to the grid through net or gross metering without any battery backup. Most of the state governments and the Central government are promoting this type of rooftop system.

Hybrid plant

A hybrid rooftop system is similar to grid-connected solar rooftop PV, but it is installed with a battery backup. At times of power failure, the backup supplies power to the consumer, which a simple grid-connected solar rooftop system cannot do.

Off-grid plants

Off-grid plants are systems not connected to the grid. They are installed with a battery backup. They are considered to be expensive due to additional cost of battery bank. They are often installed in remote areas where the grid is yet to reach or will never reach.

Solar Pump

A 1000 Wp solar pump system can save farmers around Rs. 45,000 per year. India's agriculture sector is heavily dependent on monsoons for natural irrigation. Pumps are used as an artificial means to provide water for irrigation. Farmers rely on grid electricity or diesel gen-sets to run the pump, which leads to huge delays and economic stress. Hence, for our farmers, an effective irrigation system such as the Solar Water Pump is a great boon. It increases their crop yield by ensuring a reliable perennial supply of water to their fields.

BENEFITS –

No dependence on erratic grid power and saving on expensive diesel.
Higher yield during day time when crop gets all the necessary ingredients – sunlight and water
Water output across all seasons to cultivate multiple crops every year
One time investment and then zero running costs (free sunlight) for many years tocome.
Easy for farmers to cultivate the land during day time rather than at night time whengrid is erratic.
Drip and sprinkler system can be connected with the solar system to further improve crop yield.
Solar system needs no maintenance except regular cleaning of modules – no consumables ; easy to operate.

SUBSIDY - PM-KUSUM (Pradhan Mantri Kisan Urja Suraksha evam Utthaan Mahabhiyan) Scheme. This scheme provides financial support for farmers to install solar pumps and power plants. CFA of 30% of the benchmark cost or the tender cost, whichever is lower, of the standalone solar Agriculture pump will be provided. The State Government will give a subsidy of 30%; and the remaining 40% will be provided by the farmer. Bank finance may be made available for farmer's contribution, so that farmer has to initially pay only 10% of the cost and remaining up to 30% of the cost as loan. In case the State Government provides subsidy more than 30%, the beneficiary share will reduce accordingly.

Solar Street Light

UPBL install Solar Street Lighting Systems that meet industry safety and security standards - so client have nothing to worry about. UPBL range of street lighting systems is completely self contained, requiring no electricity line extensions. Also maintenancefree, making them ideal for locations where utility power is unavailable or uneconomic. UPBL designs and manufactures complete outdoor lighting systems inclusive of various lights, bulk heads, solar modules, solar charge controllers, batteries, and columns.

Solar Street Lights light up the night and lead the way in cutting-edge energy efficiency technology. Get rid of soaring electricity bills with a smart, Solar-Powered Lighting Solution!

Why Solar Street Lights are Beneficial?

Zero Energy Bills - Solar Street Lights run entirely on the sun, so users do not have to worry about electricity bills.
Weatherproof & Low glare - With low glare and waterproof technology, solar street lights are safe and reduce light pollution in your community.
Low Maintenance - Solar Street Lights require minimal maintenance and can last up to 25 year.
Green Alternative - Unlike regular street lamps, solar lights represent progress by reducing energy consumption and creating a cleaner tomorrow.

Agrivoltaics

Agrivoltaics combines agriculture with solar energy production, installing panels on current and fallow agricultural land to generate renewable energy alongside cultivating crops beneath PV panels. This dual land-use system offers a sustainable and reliable solution to land scarcity and acquisition for solar energy, including localised transmission and distribution.

BENEFITS :

It maximizes potential of solar energy.
It improves crops - agrivoltaic modules can act as a barrier against excessive solar radiation, heat, drought or heavy rainfall.
Solar farms have higher yields.
Increases land productivity.
Positive impact on environment .

Environmental Impact

Solar energy is clean, renewable, and reduces the carbon footprint, helping protect our planet for future generations.
Cost Savings

By switching to solar energy, you can significantly reduce your electricity bills and save money in the long term.
Energy Independence

Solar energy allows homeowners to generate their own electricity, reducing reliance on utility companies and increasing energy independence.

Complete solar systems installations in remote locations, where the sun’s energy is abundant, solar power generation can be the ideal solution as an alternative source of energy to power applications such as telecom stations (mobile and land systems), TV transmitters and whole village electrification. UPBL provides not only expertise in consultation, design and implementation of such systems, but also manufactures and supplies the majority of the elements required for these installations.
