Solar Energy For a Better Future

EPC stands for Engineering, Procurement and Construction. These companies work on a contract basis and are responsible for all the development activities encompassing procurement of material, designing, construction etc. Most renewable energy companies in India work in this manner. The engineering and construction contractor will carry out the detailed engineering design of the project, procure all the equipment and materials necessary, and then construct a functioning facility or asset for their clients. Let us take a detailed look at a few Solar EPC Companies. 1. Mahindra Susten Mahindra Susten, through its Utility Scale Solar business, undertakes turnkey EPC projects around the globe across the life of a plant, from site surveys and feasibility reports to the lifetime maintenance of the plant.

Solar PV modules were originally introduced in the 1950s - can you believe it? Yes, they have really been around that long. However, they were inefficient and expensive, so they remained unpopular. Only in recent years has the cost of solar power become feasible for large-scale industrial, commercial and domestic use. This has happened because solar power modules have evolved multiple times. There are now three main types: monocrystalline, polycrystalline and thin-film. Each type has its own pros and cons. PV Cells: A brief history In any type of solar cell, silicon crystals generate electric current after absorbing sunlight. This process is the photovoltaic effect. Monocrystalline technology has been around for the longest time, but is facing competition from polycrystalline and thin-film technology. Depending on the end consumer’s budget, local laws and availability of land / sunlight hours, the solar module installer will choose one of these three technologies. Mo...

The world is getting more and more progressive with time, and this fact appears as clear as vodka when you look at some of the commercial enterprises in India. Many industries all over the subcontinent and the world are lowering their overhead expenses by resorting to photovoltaic panels. These panels can convert sunlight into usable electricity. When you move away from traditional sources of fossil fuels and embrace a clean and renewable source of energy, you gain significant financial advantages while taking a step to save the future of humankind. However, choosing a solar power generation system can be a bit challenging, especially when you plan to use it for commercial purposes. Here is a list of the considerations that you need to take. PV System Design 1.       Increasing energy efficiency: It is crucial for the host building to undertake as many measures as possible regarding energy conservation. When you maximize the building’s energy ...

One of the highest overhead costs that business owners have to face is the expenses related to electricity. Since you have to rely on commercial power grids, it means that you have to put up with the fluctuating rates of electricity use. If the price increases suddenly, then it will add to the uncertainties associated with running the business. It will particularly affect your cash-flow management. That is why the time is ripe to reduce that load and allow your company to benefit from the installation of solar power generation systems by Mahindra Susten. Solar power panels are rapidly becoming mainstream alternative sources of energy all over the world.   Reasons to go solar Many people know that the residential PV system design can bestow profound benefits upon the homeowner. However, you want to find out whether the installation of solar power generation systems will prove beneficial to your business organization or not. Apart from utilizing a renewable energ...
