Planning

This is a stage where the real action happens once the project has been signed where our experienced architects take care of project development – from ground and location surveys to precise clouding calculations. A team of experienced construction and electrical engineers sit together to stitch together to evolve designs that guarantee ultra-high performance by employing modules and inverters that are optimally aligned for every individual project. Keeping in mind that there is relatively little room for optimising cost of modules and inverters, it is natural that most of the pressure on optimising costs falls on balance of system (BoS) – transformers, cables, junction, boxes, electrical panels, monitoring and protection equipment, among others.

Our profound electro-mechanical planning encompasses exercises great care and its rich design experience in deploying these BoS components so that they can stand vicissitudes of time that the projects have to confront during their long lives of 25 years. More specifically, mounting structure is a major target for cost optimisation by developers as it accounts for up to 25-30% of the BoS cost. Most players generally opt for cheaper and less durable design and material, leading to complete failure of mounting structure in strong gusts of winds, thus, leading to significant generation loss. At Gensol, we strictly follow IS standards for designing mounting structures with high quality material having adequate thickness and minimum wind load bearing capacity.

Then again, junction boxes, for example, account for a piddling 1-2% of BoS cost but can become the Achilles heel by accounting for more than 50% of losses in DC power output. Notably, overheating and improper sealing can result in short circuit, fire and power loss, owing to which, we design junction boxes with sufficient ventilating while conforming to atleast IP 65 (Ingress Protection) standard. Designers can ill-afford ignore the quality of cables being used for these projects, since they form around 15%-20% of the BoS and a similar number can be labelled on the energy losses that entail cable-related failures. Our experienced designers deploy cable with suitable diameters and ingress protection so that system losses can be minimised, since size of the conductors and the quality of their armouring leads to significant losses.
