A 100 GW of solar energy by the end of 2022, is the target the Government of India has set for the country. Already half way through, Indians are rampantly opting for solar power as a clean, efficient and sustainable driver or energy. As the issue of climate change soars, there is a need now more than ever to highlight the importance of making sustainable choices. While the investment in solar might seem high at the first glance, the long term benefits largely outweigh any financial dilema one might have. However, before jumping into solar installation, not only is it important to understand t ..read more

India is facing one of the worst water crisis ever. According to a report by NITI Aayog (2018), half of India’s population is under the threat of losing one of the most valued natural resources of all- water. While this is one side of the coin, the other is that approximately 70 percent of our drinkable water sources are contaminated and the increasing number of draughts are only adding to the worry. Even though concentrated efforts are being made to save water in more than just way, a smart and futuristic way to begin rectifying the damage we as individuals have caused to the planet is to cho ..read more

Solar energy is the next big thing and there is no denying this. Business and home owners alike across the globe are looking to convert to solar energy and this only hints to the bright future that this form of energy has in store. A majority of India’s agriculture is restricted to the rural areas and this is also where power cuts are a frequent occurrence. Investing in solar farms is not only economical for farmers but also a way for them to earn money in the long run. Did you know that the largest solar farm in the world, as of March 2022, is located in the desert region of Rajasthan – Bhadl ..read more

India’s peak power demand hit nearly 215 GW amid a heatwave, which has been the worst one the country has seen in decades. Our renewable energy minister RK Singh said in a statement that the power, coal and railway ministries were facing a major challenge in meeting the energy demand. So when the energy demand exponentially increases, our electricity generation also needs to match up. If we are facing a coal shortage, this might not be possible and then there is a need to look for alternative energy generation sources. India’s current electricity situation Temperature’s in India are rising and ..read more

On a regular basis, the pollution captured within the planet is steadily rising and largely human activity is to be blamed for this. The rising pollution further presses on the need to use energy more efficiently while simultaneously looking for ways to undo the catastrophic damage we have caused to the environment. The sun is a never ending source of energy and a number of natural processes, photosynthesis for one, already rely on it to fulfill their energy needs. A cost-benefit analysis of replacing our current sources of energy with solar energy, tips the scales in favour of solar energy an ..read more

The ongoing and impending climate change crisis is affecting India in more than just a few ways. Not only are temperatures rising making the heat unbearable, but several parts of the country are also facing a severe water shortage, lack of rains, extreme heat and cold and a myriad of other issues. Activists have for long been fighting and suggesting solutions to address this climate crisis and while some headway is being made, it might not be enough to compensate for the damage mankind has already done. In such a situation there is a need to go back to the very basics and to the roots, in an a ..read more

Solar energy is what we need today to secure our tomorrow. From commercial buildings and government establishments, to factories, plants and even construction sites, the rampant spread of solar as an energy choice is fast picking up and rightly so. The other sources of energy, especially diesel power generation which is largely used at all these sites, is extremely detrimental to the environment. Wherever possible there is a need to replace fossil fuels with renewable sources of energy and construction sites where the pollution and carbon emissions generated is massive, is one such location. T ..read more

Solar is the future and without it the future seems bleak. As technology takes over and sustainability becomes an important factor in the long term, most are looking for ways to join the green revolution, turn towards sustainability and also save resources and finances as a side benefit. Keeping in tune with this, both big and small companies are looking at installing solar. At a time like this, Vivaan Solar’s expertise and command over the industry and all it requires is a boon for many, making the company an easy choice. Speaking of partnerships and choosing Vivaan as a solar partner, with g ..read more

Choosing the right kind of O&M dynamics while dealing with Solar Plants is crucial. Operations and maintenance (O&M) of solar plant assets has always been a critical component of the Industry business. There has been a slow but prominent transition from CAPEX to OPEX model, wherein the need of the hour has been well understood by investors. The understanding and operation procedures of solar panel management has over time changed from one that consisted of only sprinkling water on the modules to in-depth functional maintenance and with time and innovation this will further keep changin ..read more

A Few Facts First a few facts; solar radiation incident on earth’s surface is weak. As such solar photovoltaic cells can at best convert anywhere between 16% to 20% of this incident energy or sunlight into electricity only. This low efficiency coupled with multiple issues like cable loss, temperature variation, dust and DC/AC conversion issues means a solar panel can’t produce much electricity. It is because of this reason a large tract of land is needed to setup optimum power generation capability. Since only plain barren wasteland can be used, which is not readily available; it’s better to u ..read more
