It's specifically for borewell use where they give you a solar pump(I am assuming DC pump) , a controller to run that pump directly from solar energy and panels. The one I will be getting subsidy under is known as PM-KUSUM yojna. I think it has both centre and state components.
State govt and central govt both pays for subsidy.in himachal it is 80% while in Haryana it is 90% subsidy.total cost of 5kv solar system is 438000.
Maybe. I was told 32k by JE. I will get full details only when I apply next year. I have been asking my Mamaji in Haryana to get this installed because it will solve his electricity issues as well, but it won't work for him because he already has a 22.5HP pump and the upper limit under this scheme is much lower. Instead, he got a transformer installed near his farm and that helped, but a big solar installation should be better and help a lot during the day, as they do get proper uninterrupted electricity supply during the night.
It says. Under this Component, individual farmers will be supported to install standalone solar Agriculture pumps of capacity up to 7.5 HP for replacement of existing diesel Agriculture pumps / irrigation systems in off-grid areas, where grid supply is not available
Will be supported means will the banks give loans or allowances to buy such equipments or what?
When it comes to actual implementation, things can be different in India. And that last line doesn't make much sense. If a place is so far away or backward that they don't have electricity, then it is very hard that they will also have a borewell. And funnily enough, the subsidy to get a borewell dug is not part of this scheme and it is a separate scheme which is different for different states. So even if they intended the scheme to be only for off-grid areas, they would have had a hard time finding such actual beneficiaries and in the end they would have opened the scheme for all including retrofitting.
Yes this is definitely true. But if the govt is giving 80-90% subsidy, it still works out better. I just bought 800m HDPE pipe through govt scheme and it would have cost me around 64k if I bought directly from manufacturer. The govt scheme showed the pricing at around 1L for the same, so because of subsidy I got them by paying just 20k. So it is still much better. I don't look at schemes where subsidy is 50% or less unless it is an interest subvention scheme.
Scheme have changed now.accordind to new scheme 30% will be given as loan not subsidy.you have to pay back with interest and 10% you pay upfront.now subsidy is 60% only in all states.
In 2019 at a solar expo in bangalore the price of mono panel was Rs19 to 21 depending on the brand and I was only interested in mono panels. Poly was Rs .5 to Rs 1 cheaper. Its been 2 years now and price would have dropped. In 2018 the price of mono was Rs21 to 25. In 2015 it was above Rs40 in 2014 it was 55.
Probably no. I have been tracking solar panels prices from industrybuying. You could get 330W panel for around 8.5-9k in 2019. Today it's .5 to 1k higher. I think it's due to restrictions on solar imports and adani capturing the market.
Prices are always higher at industrybuying.At one point price of mono panel fell as low as 17rs per watt in whole sale market tata panel was 1rs expensive then other mid quality panels.Restruction on
Yes. I understand that prices are higher on industrybuying but I'm using it to track market trends only. So have the panel prices gone down or up in local market?
The price I am saying is whole sale prices of manufactures in Bangalore. My former neigbour in my street is the owner of the large solar company( so i can atleast get prices at wholesale rate if I pull a few strings may be even lower). Adani prices are about the same as bangalore manufactures. Infact except panasonic and LG panels most of the prices are within Rs1 to Rs 2 of each other.
Yes no name panel or newbee manufactures have even lower prices. I think a mono was 17 in 2019 for such manufactures. I only consider prices of reputed manufactures, which are Rs1 to 3 more and only look at panel makers who use cells which have guranteed watt rating, I forget the term but basically they will exceed their watts rating at test conditions, basically they are 3% under rated.
Every thing have hiked not just solar panels.Now india is at 101 place out of 160 on starvation index even nepal and pakistan are in better position then us.solar panels are around 20,22rs now days
2 hrs is fine. 3 hrs is good.
Don't buy no-name batteries. One of the reasons I asked about the branding here is because we've owned multiple batteries and inverters over the years. They are a hit or a miss. One of our old cheap petrol generators lasted us years while others don't. Also where I live it takes only a few hours to get Chinese products especially electronics and other electrical appliances. Don't need to pay any tax either if its only for personal use or few quantities. But I'd rather spend more on a reliable unit, pay the tax and own it.
Better avoid online route atleast for batteries. If the seller is located in your town/city it should be ok. There are many instances of rough handling, leakages etc when purchased online.
