Project Overview
The aim of this project report is to estimate and calculate the
approximate design of a 1MW solar PV power plant (utility scale).
The total no. of solar panel required and the different parameters
of the solar panel estimated. A site in West Bengal is taken
virtually to estimate the solar intensity of the site which is most
important for calculation of such type of report.
A Single Line Diagram (SLD) has been introduced in this report.
Also the brief details of the materials/equipments (solar panels,
inverters, protective gears, transformer, SCADA etc.) used to set
up a 1MW power plant have been highlighted.
A financial overview with a possible income datasheet included in
the project report

1 . Aim of t he proje c t
Aim of this paper is to give an overview of a 1MW solar PV power plant (utility
scale).
How the project will work?
1. Using solar pv modules, solar power generates in DC which is converted into
AC power and then using a power transformer the generated and modified
AC power will be fed to the grid.
2. No battery storage introduced here because the plant will only functions in the
daylight and here the generated power will be sold to the grid.
3. For the minimal operation and maintenance of the plant, an off-grid/stand
alone 5KW solar power can be introduced.
The benefits and the installation cost details are highlighted in the next article.
2. Financial Overview
Installation cost, total project cost, maintenance cost and also the total & net
income from the plant over a year are highlighted in this article.

Govt. subsidiaries :
Central govt. or MNRE dept. will pay 30% of the total project cost or
provide low bank loan interest (whichever is less)
For this project, by taking the 30% govt. subsidy over the installation
cost, investment will be:

3240 panels are divided into 4 groups- each group containing 810 solar panels.
In each group, 810 panels are further divided into 54 strings
Each string contains 15 solar panels.
