India's first satellite controlled solar power project inaugurated in Punjab

Single Axis Tracking East West Tilt Technology based PV Units​

LALPUR (HOSHIARPUR): India's first satellite controlled Single Axis Tracking East West Tilt Technology based solar power plant has come up at village Lalpur of District Hoshiarpur. This solar power plant has been constructed by a Mumbai based company Aditya Medisales with an investment of Rs 35 crore and it would produce 4.2 MW of electricity.

After inaugurating the plant here on Tuesday, Revenue and Renewable Energy minister Bikram Singh Majithia informed that Single Axis Tracking East West Tilt Technology follows the path of the sun during the day to generate 8 percent more units of electricity as compared to solar power plants having traditional fixed type structures.

He also revealed that India's largest rooftop solar power plant of 7.50 MW at Radha Soami Satsang at Beas (Amritsar) would be expanded to 31.5 MW which would make it the world's largest rooftop PV plant. Thanking the Radha Soami Satsang, Beas for this he requested other religious heads of Deras to install rooftop solar power plants on their premises.

Congratulating Aditya Medisales, which is part of the Sun Pharma group, for investing Rs 35 crore on this project, he also asked the company Aditya Medisales to invest more in the field of renewable energy production in Punjab as the state provided the best environment for investment in Renewable energy sector. "It would make a huge difference towards protecting environment and generating clean energy," he said while adding that Punjab had fixed target of generating more than 4200 MW solar power by the 2022.

He said that different companies had already invested more than Rs 1,300 crore in solar power projects while an investment of around Rs 1,700 crore is in the pipeline.

He further added that more than 1,500 Applications have been received under net metering Solar Roof top and the Government was going to further promote the concept 'Generate your own Clean and Green Energy and protect the environment for future generations'.

States like Punjab should only focus on Canal based or rooftop solar power plants fertile land should be used for agriculture only

 

[Juggernautjatt]

Only negative aspect of this project is that corrupt minister Bikram Majithia has a share in this project.

Totally agree.

It is utter stupidity to have Punjab dabble in solar power apart from on top of existing buildings or canals. Solar power requires enormous amounts of land, land that can be used for industry and agriculture as the entire area is fertile.

Better to let Rajasthan and Gujarat use solar power and sell it to Punjab.

 

[Dr. Sen]

Better to let Rajasthan and Gujarat use solar power and sell it to Punjab.

Not only to Punjab, we have the worlds largest integrated power grid network. The power can be fed to anywhere within India.

We need to use our coastal waters. This is a key area where India should use panels on top of the waters. A first in the world if taken up

We already have such floating solar power plant - small as of now but big ones are under development - India’s first floating PV power plant was commissioned in January -

Good.. Wonder how they connect it to a grid

Apart from primary benefits of solving land and heating problems, it also keeps water under the panels slightly colder and sheltered - the kind of place where small fish and sea life thrive, thereby help increasing fish population in tropical waters which are getting excessively warmer due to climate change.

Of course, this has to be taken up on massive scales in order to benefit sea life in any significant way.

Through underwater electric cables.

Satellite controlled ? Where are the details?

You just need four inexpensive light sensors to track the Sun in dual axis.
