SOLAR DISTRIBUTED PV (ROOFTOP) • POTENTIAL FOR TAMILNADU • Pashupathy Gopalan,Managing Director, SunEdison,South Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa Top: 72 MW Plant in Italy Bottom: 350 kWsKohls Rooftop Installation Top: 25 MW, Solar Park, Charanka, Gujarat Bottom: Narmada Canal 1 MW, Gujarat, India
Tamil Nadu’s Energy Challenge Current deficit around 3000MW1 In next 12 years, TN’s electricity requirement to grow 2.5 times1 Quality & dependable access to electricity restricted in several parts TN needs to contribute to objectives of National Action Plan on Climate Change Dependent on coal for 60% of its demand, bought 492061 Million Units of Power during 2010-11 1 Source: TNEB Long-Term Solar PV Program will enable Tamil Nadu to address its Energy Challenge
Tamil Nadu has a huge potential for Solar Energy 1 CII report: Solar roadmap for Tamil Nadu • Tamil Nadu receives the THIRD largest amount of solar radiation among Indian states (5.2 – 6.0) kWh/sq.m/day (next after Rajasthan & Gujarat) & has 300 clear sunny days in a year • Estimated potential for ground-mount utility-scale solar PV between 4000 MW to 21000 MW based on %age utilization of waste lands1
Tamil Nadu can be a Rooftop PV Leader in the region Leader in Wind Energy Solar PV in India Rajasthan Vision 0.6 GW by 2017 JNNSM Vision 20 GW by 2022 Gujarat Vision 0.6GW in 2011 (42%) (58%) Opportunity to establish leadership! KarnatakaVision0.2 GW by 2015/16 1Source: http://www.inwea.org/

Distributed Solar PV: Complements Wind Energy, helps in Diesel Abatement
Rooftop Solar Can Reduce The Day-time Peak Demand For Electricity in Tamil Nadu by Generating at Demand Centers • Solar generation peak coincides with daytime peak demand making it suitable for installations on commercial/industrial buildings • The energy generated gets consumed onsite without T&D losses • T&D losses of 10-12% for SPV set up in central location and energy wheeled to Chennai eliminated • Green Power meant for cities is generated in the specific cities Solar can bridge the gap between peak power demand & supply Estimated Power Demand (MW) Global Horizontal Radiation Time of Day (hours) • Negligible T&D Losses • Exhaustive Expansion of Electricity Infrastructure Postponed • Reduction in Peak Power Deficit for the State of Tamil Nadu
