ROOF TOP SOLAR - FOR WHOM

Eligibility Criteria for Rooftop Installations (Subprojects) to qualify under the Credit Line

The following sub-projects are eligible under the Project.
  • Residential rooftop: solar PV system installed on an existing permanent residential building rooftop
  • Commercial-scale rooftop: solar PV systems installed on an existing permanent commercial-scale building rooftop
Capacity limitations under the Project are as follows.
  • Maximum solar power generation capacity installed on rooftop shall not exceed 50 kW
  • Single customer may apply for multiple subprojects subject to a maximum cumulative capacity of 50 kW. This means customers can obtain funding for more than one subproject as long as the total installed capacity of all the subprojects combined does not exceed 50 kW.
ADB funding for subprojects are available as detailed below.
  • Upto 100% of the subproject cost for residential rooftop installations where the cost does not exceed LKR 1.5 million
  • Upto 80% of the subproject cost for, residential installations where the cost exceeds LKR 1.5 million and all commercial rooftop subprojects
Tenor of the sub-loan shall be subject to the following
  • Repayment period shall not exceed 10 years
  • Both residential and commercial rooftop subprojects may have a grace period not exceeding 6 months within the repayment period of 10 years
Customer (beneficiary) should be the owner of the permanent residential/commercial-scale building proposed to be used to install the solar PV system

ROOFTOP SOLAR - STANDARDS of the country

Image
Standards Code Specification Description International Standards Mandatory requirement SLS 1522 (2016) Sri Lanka Standards Code of Practice for Grid Connected PV Power Systems. This Technical Standards defines the minimal information and documentation required to be handed over to a customer following the installation of a grid connected PV system. This standard also describes the installation, testing and commissioning procedure and documentation expected to verify the safe installations and correct operation of the system. It is for use by system designers and installers of grid connected net energy metered solar PV systems as a template to provide effective documentation to a customer. By detailing the expected installation, testing & commissioning procedure, it is also intended to assist in the verification / inspection of a grid connected PV system after installation and for subsequent re-inspection, maintenance or modifications. Additional, it is written for grid con...

Solar Battery System Types - AC Vs DC Coupled

Image
December 20, 2019 Jason Svarc  What is AC or DC coupling? AC or DC coupling refers to the way solar panels are coupled or linked to an energy storage or battery system. The type of electrical connection between a solar array and a battery can be either Alternating Current (AC) or Direct Current (DC). AC is when the current flows rapidly forward and backwards (this is what the electricity grid uses to operate) and DC is where the current flows in one direction. Most electronic circuits use DC, while solar panels produce DC, and batteries store DC energy. However, most electrical appliances operate on AC. This is why all homes and businesses have AC circuits. DC can be converted to AC using an inverter but, as explained below some energy is always lost in the conversion. The Solar battery evolution Simple DC coupled solar battery systems were once used only for remote power systems and off-grid homes, but over the last decade inverter technology advanced rapidly and led to the devel...

Energy storage techniques

 With emerging trend of solar power the most fundamental concern is the climate dependency  of the power generation. That is , power is generated when the sun is available and not necessarily when the demand is high.  The electric power grid operates based on a delicate balance between supply (generation) and demand (consumer use). One way to help balance fluctuations in electricity supply and demand is to store electricity during periods of relatively high production and low demand, then release it back to the electric power grid during periods of lower production or higher demand. In some cases, storage may provide economic, reliability, and environmental benefits. Depending on the extent to which it is deployed, electricity storage could help the utility grid operate more efficiently, reduce the likelihood of brownouts during peak demand, and allow for more renewable resources to be built and used. Energy can be stored in a variety of ways, including: Pumped hydroelect...
